The victims of cuts from Donald Trump and the MAGA Congress are Washingtonians who will lose their health care provider. Washington will cover the gap caused by the federal attempt to defund Planned Parenthood if their litigation is not successful. We can’t backfill every

I've seen a lot in 20 years of politics. This Big Betrayal of a bill is about as bad as it gets. We're going to work together and do everything we can to preserve core services, including critical care from Planned Parenthood.

Medicaid is one of the primary payers for Planned Parenthood, covering life-saving services like preventative care and cancer screenings. Medicaid funds, in fact, cannot be used to pay for abortion services. We will ensure that care continues here in Washington.

Planned Parenthood provides important care to Medicaid patients, including preventative care and cancer screenings. Washington state will backfill the funding gap caused by the federal attempt to defund Planned Parenthood if their legal challenge is not successful. We will do

Energy rollbacks from the MAGA Congress will cost Washington billions in lost investments, raise energy costs, and put thousands of jobs — many in rural communities — at risk. This bill is a fossil fuel wish list that penalizes clean energy and favors pollution.

Every Washingtonian on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will see benefits reduced. 130,000 could lose their benefits altogether. Trump and the MAGA Congress’s reconciliation bill takes food from our most vulnerable Washingtonians to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.

The MAGA Congress just passed devastating cuts that will take Medicaid from 250,000 Washingtonians. Washington's Reps. Baumgartner and Newhouse voted in favor of the cruel cuts, which will disproportionately affect their constituents in Eastern and Central Washington.

The Trump Administration's use of Washingtonians’ private health information for its own political agenda is outrageous. This is a violation of trust for everyone whose data was inappropriately shared, but especially our immigrant communities and mixed-status families, who are.

Big news for fixing our ferry system: After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I selected Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build 3 new hybrid-electric boats. Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to.

Honored to be at the unveiling of Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens’ statue outside of Climate Pledge. I also had the chance to show him my Player of the Day plaque from attending his basketball camp in 1979. Lenny is more than a basketball legend. His dedication to Washington

Today, we’re back to 3 boats – for the first time in 4 years – on the Triangle Route that connects West Seattle, Vashon Island, and Southworth. We’re fixing the ferries.

Rep. Newhouse claims federal cuts are needed because millions on Medicaid are choosing not to work. That’s a morally bankrupt statement, and untrue. Rep. Newhouse: Go beyond empty D.C. talking points. Listen to working Washingtonians on Medicaid. These cuts would be devastating.

Medicaid keeps children alive and rural hospitals open. Senators should listen to the individuals who will be impacted before voting on these devastating cuts. Tell them why their healthcare is getting cut to give tax breaks to billionaires.

In 26 counties across Washington, more than half of children are covered by Medicaid. Britton is one of many parents who rely on Medicaid to keep a child alive. I encourage members of Congress to listen to his story. Lives are at stake in this vote.

Medicaid touches health care in every stage of life, for Washingtonians in every corner of our state. Federal cuts to Medicaid would be felt by all Washingtonians, regardless of ZIP code or party affiliation.
