The Trump admin is cutting $500 million from vaccine development, threatening the cures & treatments of tomorrow. Misinformation & conspiracy theories should not be driving decisions at our public health agencies.

It was an honor to have WWII veteran Ralph Sterley – who is about to turn 💯! – attend my pinning ceremony today. I’m grateful for the opportunity to honor him & thank him for his service to our nation.

Met with seniors in Marysville today to discuss how cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, & Social Security benefits & service impact our community. These programs support millions of seniors. I will keep fighting to protect them.

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law—a landmark step toward a more just democracy. As efforts to restrict the vote resurface, we must keep fighting to protect every American’s right to be heard.

Stopped by @TheLWTech to see the progress on their Early Learning Center, which is going to provide affordable child care for students, employees, and the surrounding community. I secured $1 million in federal funding to help make this project happen & cannot wait to see it

Trump’s megabill is going to increase health insurance premiums by 65% next year for WA Health Benefits Exchange enrollees who receivedenhanced federal subsidies. This will result in 80,000 Washingtonians losing their coverage. I’m in Bothell to highlight what this means in

DOGE was supposed to save money, but instead it wasted nearly $22 billion in taxpayer dollars. That could’ve paid for school lunches, Medicaid, & nutrition assistance for millions.

Here are five takeaways from Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal's new 54-page report accusing DOGE of waste.

Trump’s tariffs are hitting American manufacturers while foreign automakers are getting a leg up. That’s not how you grow American jobs.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is already starting to hit families across the country. From food assistance to student loans to Medicaid, key deadlines are coming fast while tax breaks for the wealthy stay permanent.

Trump’s 15% tariff on EU medicines will raise drug prices for patients already struggling to afford care. This is the wrong direction. We should be lowering costs for families, not making it harder to get the medications they need.

Drugmakers have been heavily reliant on foreign countries' manufacturing and raw materials, most of it duty-free.

Republicans cut Medicaid and Medicare in the Big Ugly Bill. Now they are bragging about how it will privatize SOCIAL SECURITY too. The cost? Your benefits. I won’t stand by while Republicans try to gut this program hardworking Americans depend on.
