Pramila Jayapal Instagram - 17 years ago yesterday, I married the love of my life. It’s been 21 years together and I cannot imagine life without him. He is the kindest and most generous soul, curious and inquisitive about everything, so funny, and incredibly supportive of me and our making a difference in the world. We have weathered good, bad and terrifying times together that have only cemented our love. I found a great garland at the West Seattle farmers market yesterday to recreate (kind of!) the garlands we got married with! And we had the perfect anniversary celebration at Golden Gardens park on the beach last night with a picnic, watching the sunset, celebrating each other and dreaming into the future. Thank you @touchingmyheart. Happy anniversary! I love you. ❤️

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - One week ago, my sister and I immersed my father’s ashes in the Cauvery River in India. He was 93 and passed away peacefully. Clearing out his stuff, I am reminded of who he was. He and my mother loved parties, dancing & entertaining. He loved singing & would often call us and sing Stevie Wonder’s “I just called to say I love you.” He was super competitive, played endless games of Phase 10 and hated to lose—even to the kids! He was a perfectionist, demanding order in everything, even folding laundry before he put it in the wash. He couldn’t throw anything away, so his closets were full of empty little boxes, airline freebies, even broken suitcases. He got sustenance from daily 60-90 minute walks, rain or shine, at a pace that had us running to keep up. He was loyal & would help anyone in need. He possessed a genius math/engineering mind, scoring at the top of the all-India exams, setting ambitious goals and meeting them. When he and my mom moved to Indonesia in 1969, they charted new territory in an unknown place. He travelled for work & then more with mom following her passions. He supported my mother’s many careers as teacher, author and counselor. He believed completely in education, and that his daughters could achieve anything with it. Unlike many of his era who wanted to have sons, he always wanted daughters. He sent us away to college in America at 16 when he had nothing in the bank, because he wanted us to have all the opportunities available. I don’t think there was much thought to how we would never live on the same continent as them again. As we all came to realize, children being far away as their parents age is but one of the prices of migration. It wasn’t all perfect—like everyone, he had flaws & we had our rough patches. But as I sift through all the memories, I see how much of him is also in me and I am grateful. As we put his ashes in the beautiful rushing river, sky above as blue and clear as could be, trees swaying, it was the perfect place & moment to send him on his final journey. While the hole in my heart is there, it is now growing the flowers of memory & gratitude for all he was. Om Shanti, dearest Papa. May your soul attain moksha. ❤️

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Proud to be a partner with @POTUS on advancing transformational progressive policies. From canceling student debt for up to 30 million Americans, to forcing Big Pharma to negotiate drug prices, to making the largest-ever investment in the climate crisis, we’re getting stuff done.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - The Kroger-Albertsons merger could have catastrophic repercussions for consumers, workers, and communities across the country. 

That’s why I am leading an amicus brief to support the FTC’s efforts to stop this merger. Read more: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/northwest-lawmakers-join-push-to-block-kroger-albertsons-merger/
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - ICYMI: I’m leading an amicus brief to support the FTC’s efforts to stop the Kroger-Albertsons merger.

This puts 100  grocery stores across WA at risk and could have bad consequences for both workers and consumers. We must do what’s right for WA families.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - I'll be introducing my No Round Up Act to stop Donald Trump from forcing immigrants to register with the government.

We've seen this script before. It's racist, xenophobic, and a waste of resources. Let's come together to stop it.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - 🚨BREAKING: With @RepRaskin and @RepMGS, I’m leading 100  House Democrats in demanding answers on Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest.

Trump’s attempt to deport Khalil is authoritarian and an attack on the First Amendment. We won’t sit quietly as his administration tries to dismantle free speech.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - This is a great move from the FTC! Noncompete agreements keep wages low and are anti-worker and anti-competitive.

This is a pro-worker move that will mean people get paid more, and I’m proud to have helped advocate for it.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - ICYMI: @USProgressives rolled out our bold, transformative 2025 agenda to empower workers, lower costs, protect our planet, improve public education, and so much more.

So proud to lead this diverse and impressive caucus in fighting for progressive policies everywhere.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - You heard me: we NEED Medicare for All.

Our health care system is broken, and we need fundamental changes to ensure people get the care they deserve.

No more care delays, denials, or out of control costs. Just health care, when and where you need it.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and attempted deportation are straight out of an authoritarian playbook, not one of elected officials in a democratic society who claim to be champions of free speech.

I’m leading more than 100 House Democrats in demanding answers.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - What’s happening in Gaza is not external to the U.S. It is not a conflict that we are being asked to mediate from the outside.

We are the largest backer of military assistance to Israel. We have a responsibility to use our position and leverage to secure a permanent path to peace.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - I and @repmadeleinedean led 55 members in calling on the admin to prevent an assault on Rafah by any means necessary, including withholding offensive aid to Israel that can be used in an invasion. We must prioritize the safety of innocent Palestinian civilians.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Today is Rosa Parks’ birthday. Her bravery, resilience, and determination to stand against oppression have been guiding lights for activists through generations.

Let us continue to fight for justice in her memory.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - I and @repmadeleinedean led 55 other members, in calling on the Biden administration to enforce U.S. law and withhold offensive aid to Israel that can be used for a Rafah assault.

We all must keep working to achieve a lasting ceasefire to save lives, return hostages, and build a path toward security for all.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Every week is a mixed bag — here are 3 bad things and 3 good things that happened this week in and around Congress.

Stay engaged and keep organizing, fighting, and resisting.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Democrats will always fight to defend and expand your right to access IVF treatment.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - As #AANHPIHeritageMonth comes to a close this week, I wanted to join @stopaapihate in their #SpreadAAPILove campaign.

My immigrant story is something I’m incredibly proud of. Let’s all continue using our stories to fight for racial justice and equality in every corner of America.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Today marks the start of Black History Month — a time to recognize both the hardships endured by and celebrate the achievements of Black Americans.

Black history is American history and it is critical that we honor Black voices and leaders every single day of the year.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Regardless of your immigration status, you have rights.

 As reports of ICE raids increase across the country, make sure you know your rights and share them with neighbors, friends, and loved ones. And as always, my office is here to help.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - This week, Trump signed a bill to start his campaign of cruel mass deportations.

It strips due process from undocumented immigrants, subjecting those arrested or charged with shoplifting or theft to mandatory detention — without trial or conviction.

Inhumane and unconstitutional.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - I will be voting no on this bill that gives more military assistance to the Netanyahu government to wage death and destruction on innocent Palestinians. This is a moment of great consequence: the first vote where we as Congress can weigh in on the direction of this war. If Congress votes to continue to supply offensive military aid, we make ourselves complicit in this tragedy.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - 🚨NEW: I joined 150  House Democrats in demanding answers from the Treasury Secretary about Elon Musk’s access to sensitive data and classified Treasury payment systems.

We’re working to stop the richest man in the world from rooting around in your Social Security and Medicare unchecked.

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - The U.S. has and will continue to support defensive aid for Israel like Iron Dome funding. 

What we cannot do is support continuing offensive military aid for an assault on innocent civilians that has already killed more than 35,000 people.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - President Biden has the most progressive track record and agenda on domestic economic policy that we have seen in a long time.

While we will continue to push for policy shifts in areas of disagreement, we will continue to fight for the President’s domestic agenda.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Today, the Seattle Aquarium’s new Ocean Pavilion officially opened. It’s an incredible project that I was proud to secure $750,000 for, and I’m so excited that the public can now experience it.

This is a beautiful new building that will transform our city’s waterfront, expand the aquarium and its attendance, and allow them to continue their amazing marine conservation and sustainability work!

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - This was the first time Congress could weigh in on the direction of the war in Gaza & was an important moment to showcase the necessity of a policy shift to stop the killing of innocent civilians. We should not be supplying Netanyahu with military aid to further this destruction.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Extreme MAGA Republicans are intent on using our Congressional hearings for political bullying instead of trying to get actual things done.

They should be embarrassed about their inability to govern and work for the American people.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - “The world’s richest man appears to be indiscriminately dismantling the government with an eye toward consolidating power and punishing his political enemies.”

Elon’s power trip, greenlit by Trump, will hurt millions of American families. Democrats are fighting to stop him.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Extreme MAGA Republicans across the country are putting in place cruel anti-abortion laws and threatening to throw Americans in jail for making their own health care choices.

It’s inhumane, anti-freedom, and un-American. We must fight back and enshrine abortion rights for all.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Republicans went to the House floor today pretending to care about victims of domestic violence — but it was just a cover for continuing to scapegoat immigrants.

Their bill would hurt domestic violence survivors by not giving them the protection they deserve. It’s a disgrace.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - If SCOTUS justices want to control women’s bodies across the country, they should be able to control what flag is flown outside their house.

This latest incident with Justice Alito is just more evidence that we need serious ethics reform to restore trust in the Supreme Court.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - A major root cause of migration from Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico is violence — and more than half of guns used in crimes that are recovered in these areas are sourced from the US.

Yet Republicans refuse to support common sense laws to stem this flow of firearms.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - MAGA extremists want to cut Social Security and Medicare, raise the retirement age, and roll back hard-earned benefits.

Democrats want to expand these vital programs, increase their reach, and ensure working American families get the benefits they deserve.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram -
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Republicans have the power to keep the government open. They have majorities in the House, Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down, it will be on them.

Democrats have the power to stand up for the American people — and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Yesterday’s vote was a political ploy to divide us instead of actually trying to tackle the real problem of antisemitism. Critiques of the Israeli government and policy positions are not antisemitism — Congress must do better to meaningfully engage and combat antisemitism.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Just checking in…helluva week….
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Today, we held an oversight hearing of the Justice Department.

But instead of discussing how to keep our country safe or protect civil rights, Republicans used this time to essentially turn the committee into a legislative arm of the Trump campaign. It’s despicable.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - The climate crisis is the single biggest threat facing humanity. Yet Republicans refuse to take action or even acknowledge that it exists — they’d rather cozy up to Big Oil than protect American families.

We must take bold, immediate action to save our planet and our people.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Trump’s Project 2025 would be a disaster for the immigration system.

It would rip apart American families, which comes as no surprise from the party that cruelly tore apart more than 5,000 kids from their moms and dads.

It’s inhumane and un-American. We can’t go back to that.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Republicans keep pushing out the same tired talking points about immigration, demonizing immigrants and insisting on enforcement-only policies that have failed for 30 years.

They have no interest in doing the work necessary to actually fix our immigration system.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram -
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Today, I plan to vote no on the bill for aid to Israel. I cannot support a bill that has no conditions on military aid to the Netanyahu government with the carnage we are seeing in Gaza.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - It was an honor to celebrate Indian Independence Day in Michigan with the India League of America, along with local elected officials including my friend @repdingell and special guest @thegreatkhali! I celebrate the contributions of Indian Americans and the Indian diaspora across the country and look forward to continuing to work for our democracies to thrive!

Pramila Jayapal Instagram - As extreme MAGA Republicans baselessly attack Haitian communities across the country, I was proud to stand with my colleagues in the Haiti Caucus this morning to condemn these xenophobic lies.

We will always stand up for and defend our immigrant communities.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Here’s the thing about MAGA Republicans’ noncitizen voting claims: they’re LYING.

Noncitizen voting in federal elections isn’t a real issue — it’s already illegal and incredibly uncommon. Republicans are just stoking fear to distract you from the fact that they can’t deliver.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Democrats and FTC Chair Lina Khan have worked hard to rein in big corporations and put American workers first, pushing through a number of rules and regulations that will increase wages and lower costs.

We will always stand up for working families across this country.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - We’re 10 days away from a government shutdown, yet MAGA Republicans seem content to let funding lapse and allow millions of working families to be hurt.

They don’t care about you and your needs — they only care about their extreme, unpopular agenda.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Democrats cannot give a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk to continue their destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

We have to stand up for the American people. Senate Democrats must hold the line and vote NO on this Republican spending bill.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - 85 years ago today, the first Social Security check was issued. This was a massive move to help people keep money in their pockets and retire with dignity.

Let me be clear: Social Security is an EARNED benefit and something Democrats will fight to protect.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Today’s executive order on the border is extremely disappointing.

Fixing our immigration system means expanding legal pathways and providing the necessary resources, not enforcement-only policies that have failed for decades. Read my full statement at the link in my story.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - Supreme Court Justices weighing in on cases about democracy and the January 6 insurrection must be impartial.

Flying flags that push false conspiracies about the 2020 election shows clear biases and conflicts of interest. Justice Alito must recuse himself from these cases.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - The data is clear: immigrants are good for the economy and good for our country.

They are doctors, teachers, and CEOs. They pay billions in taxes every single year. And they deserve to be here, in the United States, making this country a better place.
Pramila Jayapal Instagram - ICYMI: Trump handed over your Social Security Number to Elon Musk and his cronies.
Pramila Jayapal - 3.6K Likes - 17 years ago yesterday, I married the love of my life. It’s been 21 years together and I cannot imagine life without him. He is the kindest and most generous soul, curious and inquisitive about everything, so funny, and incredibly supportive of me and our making a difference in the world. We have weathered good, bad and terrifying times together that have only cemented our love. I found a great garland at the West Seattle farmers market yesterday to recreate (kind of!) the garlands we got married with! And we had the perfect anniversary celebration at Golden Gardens park on the beach last night with a picnic, watching the sunset, celebrating each other and dreaming into the future. Thank you @touchingmyheart. Happy anniversary! I love you. ❤️

Pramila Jayapal - 2.4K Likes - One week ago, my sister and I immersed my father’s ashes in the Cauvery River in India. He was 93 and passed away peacefully. Clearing out his stuff, I am reminded of who he was. He and my mother loved parties, dancing & entertaining. He loved singing & would often call us and sing Stevie Wonder’s “I just called to say I love you.” He was super competitive, played endless games of Phase 10 and hated to lose—even to the kids! He was a perfectionist, demanding order in everything, even folding laundry before he put it in the wash. He couldn’t throw anything away, so his closets were full of empty little boxes, airline freebies, even broken suitcases. He got sustenance from daily 60-90 minute walks, rain or shine, at a pace that had us running to keep up. He was loyal & would help anyone in need. He possessed a genius math/engineering mind, scoring at the top of the all-India exams, setting ambitious goals and meeting them. When he and my mom moved to Indonesia in 1969, they charted new territory in an unknown place. He travelled for work & then more with mom following her passions. He supported my mother’s many careers as teacher, author and counselor. He believed completely in education, and that his daughters could achieve anything with it. Unlike many of his era who wanted to have sons, he always wanted daughters. He sent us away to college in America at 16 when he had nothing in the bank, because he wanted us to have all the opportunities available. I don’t think there was much thought to how we would never live on the same continent as them again. As we all came to realize, children being far away as their parents age is but one of the prices of migration. It wasn’t all perfect—like everyone, he had flaws & we had our rough patches. But as I sift through all the memories, I see how much of him is also in me and I am grateful. As we put his ashes in the beautiful rushing river, sky above as blue and clear as could be, trees swaying, it was the perfect place & moment to send him on his final journey. While the hole in my heart is there, it is now growing the flowers of memory & gratitude for all he was. Om Shanti, dearest Papa. May your soul attain moksha. ❤️

As we all came to realize, children being far away as their parents age is but one of the prices of migration. It wasn’t all perfect—like everyone, he had flaws & we had our rough patches. But as I sift through all the memories, I see how much of him is also in me and I am grateful. As we put his ashes in the beautiful rushing river, sky above as blue and clear as could be, trees swaying, it was the perfect place & moment to send him on his final journey. While the hole in my heart is there, it is now growing the flowers of memory & gratitude for all he was. Om Shanti, dearest Papa. May your soul attain moksha. ❤️

Caption : One week ago, my sister and I immersed my father’s ashes in the Cauvery River in India. He was 93 and passed away peacefully. Clearing out his stuff, I am reminded of who he was. He and my mother loved parties, dancing & entertaining. He loved singing & would often call us and sing Stevie Wonder’s “I just called to say I love you.” He was super competitive, played endless games of Phase 10 and hated to lose—even to the kids! He was a perfectionist, demanding order in everything, even folding laundry before he put it in the wash. He couldn’t throw anything away, so his closets were full of empty little boxes, airline freebies, even broken suitcases. He got sustenance from daily 60-90 minute walks, rain or shine, at a pace that had us running to keep up. He was loyal & would help anyone in need. He possessed a genius math/engineering mind, scoring at the top of the all-India exams, setting ambitious goals and meeting them. When he and my mom moved to Indonesia in 1969, they charted new territory in an unknown place. He travelled for work & then more with mom following her passions. He supported my mother’s many careers as teacher, author and counselor. He believed completely in education, and that his daughters could achieve anything with it. Unlike many of his era who wanted to have sons, he always wanted daughters.

Pramila Jayapal - 412 Likes - Yesterday’s vote was a political ploy to divide us instead of actually trying to tackle the real problem of antisemitism. Critiques of the Israeli government and policy positions are not antisemitism — Congress must do better to meaningfully engage and combat antisemitism.

Pramila Jayapal - 398 Likes - Today, we held an oversight hearing of the Justice Department.

But instead of discussing how to keep our country safe or protect civil rights, Republicans used this time to essentially turn the committee into a legislative arm of the Trump campaign. It’s despicable.

We must take bold, immediate action to save our planet and our people.

Pramila Jayapal - 384 Likes - Trump’s Project 2025 would be a disaster for the immigration system.

It would rip apart American families, which comes as no surprise from the party that cruelly tore apart more than 5,000 kids from their moms and dads.

It’s inhumane and un-American. We can’t go back to that.

Pramila Jayapal - 382 Likes - Republicans keep pushing out the same tired talking points about immigration, demonizing immigrants and insisting on enforcement-only policies that have failed for 30 years.

They have no interest in doing the work necessary to actually fix our immigration system.

Noncitizen voting in federal elections isn’t a real issue — it’s already illegal and incredibly uncommon. Republicans are just stoking fear to distract you from the fact that they can’t deliver.
