'We will fight this at every level:' WA Rep. Jayapal responds to federal job cuts

BY JAMES LYNCH
KIRO Newsradio reporter
Washington’s U.S. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal is back in her district and railing against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk for what she called an attack to gut Federal Human Services programs and workers.

On Friday morning, Jayapal held a news conference in front of the Federal Courthouse in downtown Seattle, where she addressed these points:

“We are going to continue to say no to the constant bullying of the Trump/Musk administration as they try to scam four and a half trillion dollars of your hard-earned money to give themselves a giant tax cut,” said Jayapal.

Jayapal was surrounded by federal workers and retirees who held signs, chanted, and cheered. They said they’re fearful of losing federal services upon which their families depend.
