Trump wants $1.5 TRILLION of your tax dollars for war while American families are facing higher prices on just about everything. Not on my watch. I'm using my power to tear up that sad excuse of a budget and write a new one.

Trump's nominee for Labor Secretary already has an anti-worker record, and now he's asking for a promotion! Confirming him would mean more of the same: cutting off overtime pay, undercutting unions, and letting corporations get away with robbery—literally. I'm voting NO.

After listening to the president’s rambling address, I want him to know that the SAVE America Act is going NOWHERE in the Senate. It belongs in the trash with the rest of Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories. America, use your vote & your voice to save our democracy. 🇺🇸

Apparently up is down. After ICE killed 2 people this week, some Republicans are trying to somehow pretend that Democrats rejected basic reforms. That is preposterous.

Trump's nominee to lead national intelligence REFUSED to say Joe Biden won the 2020 election—MULTIPLE TIMES! It's pathetic watching these formerly serious people debase and humiliate themselves publicly because Trump doesn’t want anyone to admit he LOST the 2020 election.

Trump is giving a primetime national address tonight to talk about election fraud that doesn't exist. This is unprecedented & unhinged, so we've got to respond seriously. And remember that We The People decide the future of this democracy with our VOICE and our VOTE!

BREAKING: Democrats tried to stop AI prior authorization in Medicare. Republicans blocked it—apparently they agree with Trump that AI knows better when it comes to health care decisions for our seniors. This isn't the end. We'll keep fighting back.

Just now on the Senate floor, I called for an END to the AI program that is delaying and denying seniors the health care they deserve. We're voting right now: my colleagues should join me and END AI prior authorization in Medicare.

Trump is proudly selling off our public lands to the highest bidder. Never forget he promised Big Oil everything if they just contributed to his campaign. But we shouldn't just accept this sell-off. Keep speaking up. We can protect America the beautiful.

Within an HOUR after being legally appointed by the federal judges as Western WA's top prosecutor, Trump fired Roger Rogoff. Not because he isn’t qualified (he is), but because the President wants a sock puppet who puts Trump above the rule of law. It’s a disgrace.

🚨🚨PSA🚨🚨 Todd Blanche, Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Justice, confirms he's an anti-abortion extremist by committing to carry out Republicans' fever dream of a nationwide ban on medication abortion. I'll be voting NO. Spread the word. Speak out. Fight back.

Today, House Republicans are falling over themselves to pass bills to officially "abolish" the Department of Education and destroy public education in America. Nobody wants this. So let me be crystal clear: under NO circumstances will I let these bills pass the Senate.

The parasite causing explosive diarrhea makes clear that functional public health infrastructure matters. But Trump's latest CDC nominee didn't KNOW Trump made monitoring this parasite optional and STILL wouldn't give me a firm commitment she'd make it mandatory again. Absurd.

Trump is condoning ICE shooting innocent people in the streets and telling federal agents to keep it up. Republicans are acting like this is totally normal. It's NOT. We need accountability in the law to stop the chaos Republicans enabled with their $70 billion ICE giveaway.

The 2020 election was not rigged. Everybody with an ounce of common sense recognizes that. But Trump is using the force of government to promote this lie again. So it is on every one of us to use our voices and our votes to reject Trump's delusional conspiracy theories.

We will not let Todd Blanche dismiss or ignore Epstein survivors. In May, he told us he would meet with survivors whose private info was released by the Justice Department. That meeting still isn't scheduled. @vanhollen.senate.gov and I are demanding answers.

BREAKING: the House just passed my bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent! Leader Thune should bring this bill to a vote in the Senate so we can finally get this done. More sunshine. Less depression. Let's finally lock the clock!

Another man was killed by ICE. Just days since the last fatal shooting by this agency. I pushed constantly to give Republicans every opportunity to enact common-sense reforms on ICE—the same basic standards our local police follow. Republicans BLOCKED every single reform.

Republicans are once again fighting tooth and nail to defund Planned Parenthood while they do nothing to make your life more affordable. Defunding Planned Parenthood means millions will have less access to cancer screenings and basic health care. No way. I'm fighting back.

Trump is endorsing a forever war in the Middle East. He is setting billions of your taxpayer dollars on fire over a war America doesn't support, and Americans are literally also paying the price at the pump. And Republicans are voting to let this war go on forever.

Trump wants to turn the federal budget into one big slush fund to reward his allies and punish everyone else.   A cancer research grant in a state where someone personally offended Trump? Terminated.    This would be devastating for communities & is downright unacceptable.

Trump's so-called “reorganization” of the Forest Service is an attack on America’s public lands.   I spoke with folks in Everett about what these cuts would mean for WA state's wildfire preparedness & prevention.

The greatest threat to America's elections is Donald Trump. Effectively shutting down the independent organization that certifies voting systems and supports our state election officials is not a subtle move. Every one of us has to use our voice and our vote to save democracy.

Republicans kicked hundreds of thousands of families and kids off SNAP so they could give billionaires more tax breaks. That's the world Republicans want to make: working people struggle to get by while they and their friends get richer.

We know that ICE lies—because they lie constantly. I am DEMANDING that ICE release all of the footage related to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's killing. There needs to be an independent investigation immediately.

Trump says we can’t afford child care.  The truth is we can’t afford to IGNORE child care. Let’s make child care affordable for EVERY working family in America.

Trump could not care less about lowering costs for working families. Don't just take my word for it — hear it right from the horse's mouth.

A man with NO criminal history was shot and killed by ICE. As far as I'm concerned, Trump's DHS Secretary should get hauled in front of Congress to answer for every shooting. We need a Congressional majority that will push for real answers and accountability. This cannot stand.

Millions of Americans have lost health care coverage and food assistance while Trump profits off the American Presidency. The most corrupt President in American history enabled by a cowardly Republican Congress. It's time for change.

What a total failure of leadership. Gas prices are surging again and apparently the peace deal is in tatters and our servicemembers are still in harm's way to fight a war the American people do NOT support. Every Republican who voted to continue this war owns this failure.

A doctor providing reproductive health care, like abortion, in a state where it's legal should absolutely not fear prosecution from out-of-state anti-abortion extremists. It's simple, and I reintroduced my bill to make that law.

Trump has been coming after child care since Day 1.    I've been fighting back every step along the way–because in the richest country in the world, every family in America should be able to afford quality child care.

To Team USA, welcome to Seattle! I can’t think of a better place to host today’s game. Seattle loves soccer and soccer fans from around the world have loved Seattle! Let’s go Team USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

$3,600.   That's how much EXTRA the average family in Washington state had to pay since Trump took office because of his reckless and stupid policies.

Elon Musk, the literal richest man on the planet–the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE–is paying the SAME amount in Social Security taxes as an electrician who makes $185,000 a year.   That's outrageous.    We need to scrap the cap so the richest people in the world pay their fair share.

As we celebrate America 250—and there’s a LOT to celebrate—remember: it IS patriotic to stand up for our freedoms and our values.   You better believe I’m proud to be an American. Here’s to another 250 years! 🎉🇺🇸

RFK Jr. is actively censoring scientific research to try and rewrite reality.   The COVID vaccine reduced the risk of hospitalizations. That's a FACT. It's supported by SCIENCE.   THIS is why it is so dangerous for a conspiracy theorist to be leading our nation's health.

“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.” — Thurgood Marshall

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is working just as they planned: MILLIONS of Americans can't afford health insurance and were kicked off food stamps.   Billionaires are getting richer while working families struggle to get by. It's a disgrace.

"Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance." - President Theodore Roosevelt

When Trump said "no one gives a **** about housing," he meant that *HE* didn't. Our billionaire ex-slumlord of a President wants to slash billions for housing. I won't let him and I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

250 years of the land of opportunity. 🇺🇸 Land of the free, home of the brave. Out of many, one. Diversity is a strength. Proud to be an American.

This is an absolutely historic level of corruption and it should be utterly disqualifying that this Republican Congress won't lift a finger to stop this crook of a President.

Seniors on Medicare are being forced to confront ridiculous red tape to get the procedures they need. AI should NOT be deciding if you get health care. I have a bill to make sure it doesn’t.

This might be the best program you've never heard of.    Families that qualify for free or reduced lunch at school can get EBT benefits to help their kids get meals throughout the summer.   WATCH⬇️

If you're born in America, you're an American. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Today's decision is a victory but also a reminder that our constitutional values are under fierce attack by far-right extremists. Democracy is an action. Use your voice and your vote to protect American democracy.

Trump promised again and again his ballroom wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime, and now he's stealing $400 million of your tax dollars.   That's illegal. Congress needs answers.

Happy Pride Seattle! Let's keep fighting to ensure equal protection under the law, no matter who you love or how you identify. Be proud, have fun, and stay safe. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Just remember: when Trump said he "lifted" families off of SNAP—he really means he cut them out of it.   Now over 800,000 kids—AT LEAST—aren’t getting the help they need.

Republicans want women to be silent about the suffering happening under GOP abortion bans.   I will never stop uplifting the voices of women. We have to make sure their stories are impossible to ignore.
