Six years ago today, we lost John Lewis – a civil rights icon who inspired us to fight for justice and equality, even in the face of great adversity. We now fight for our voting rights, which are under threat by the President of the United States. (1/2)

The President is wrong. Washington State’s universal vote-by-mail system is safe and secure and so was the 2020 election. Ask Mike Pence. (1/2)

I opposed the $1.1 trillion NDAA because it does not end President Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran, does not safeguard against the military being used domestically, and fails to justify its historic cost as Americans grapple with soaring food and energy prices. (1/2)

The SAVE America Act and redistricting to eliminate minority-majority districts are actions to take away the right to vote.

Thank you to Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action advocates from WA for our recent meeting in DC. We discussed the urgent need to prevent gun violence, which affects far too many people across Washington state.

By removing all members of the independent and bipartisan federal Election Assistance Commission, President Trump is making our elections less secure. Only Congress can eliminate the EAC -- but that hasn’t stopped the President from trying to fully disable it. (1/2)

The court has sided with the rule of law in allowing health inspectors into the Northwest ICE detention center. Everyone, including contractors to the federal government, need to comply with our state’s health laws for detainees and Washington workers. www.kiro7.com/news/local/j...

I recently celebrated with Congressional Award Gold Medalists from Washington state. They dedicated hundreds of hours to serving their communities, a feat they should be very proud of.

Seattle fans have always brought the noise on Monday nights. From the waterfront piers to Pioneer Square to the stadium, let's get loud!

I ask my Senate colleagues to stand up for your vote and for our rights – because if we don’t stop this assault on vote-by-mail, I guarantee you millions of Americans will be disenfranchised.

American exceptionalism is that we are a melting pot, and that melting pot makes us stronger. Today in Seattle, I celebrated our nation’s 250th anniversary with 252 new U.S. citizens.

Let’s get building! The signing of the Record of Decision brings the Pacific Northwest one step closer to replacing the aging Interstate Bridge with the modern, resilient crossing our region has needed for decades. (1/3)

The formal review of the USMCA started today. The agreement and the subsequent investments in supply chains built on a three-country market have created wealth and opportunity for all of North America. I ask the USTR to negotiate in good faith with our partners and extend the agreement.

This week marks the 57th anniversary of the #Stonewall uprising, an act of bravery and resiliency in the face of violence and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. We must always honor all those fighting for LGBTQ+ equality.

Our country has long held that children born on U.S. soil or U.S. territories are citizens. Today they no longer have to worry about an administration who tried to deny them this right.

The court has affirmed what we have known all along: states have the right to set rules for counting ballots when they are received. The Supreme Court affirmed both a key element of by-mail voting and the constitutional authority of states to administer their elections. (1/3)

The Trump admin must engage in good faith with both Canada & Mexico to renew the USMCA while maintaining its strong labor & digital trade provisions. WA's manufacturers, farmers, & consumers need certainty on USMCA renewal to spur future investment, jobs, & local exports. wcit.org/wcit-usmca-w...

Housing is a crisis in America and huge bipartisan majorities passed this bill on to the President’s desk. He should now sign it or pledge not to veto it. Doing anything else is just sticking Americans with higher housing costs.

Four years after Dobbs, women are worse off. They are traveling farther, paying more, and facing greater barriers to care. Since Idaho imposed a restrictive abortion ban, more than one-third of the state’s OB-GYNs have left – and women are forced to seek care elsewhere. (1/2)

The next BPA Administrator will need to hit the ground running to address rising energy demand without compromising reliability, affordability, or fish habitat. (1/2) www.kgw.com/article/news...

On a bipartisan basis, Congress said "no" to President Trump’s illegal war. A diplomatic resolution that ensures Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons or continue to finance its proxies that terrorize our allies is the best and only enduring path forward.

NOAA's Hurricane Hunters collect vital data from inside dangerous storms, but much of the fleet is over 50 years old. That’s why the bipart Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act will modernize the aging fleet and codify the mission in federal law.

Happy #FathersDay to all the dads in Washington state and all over the country! Today, we appreciate and celebrate all you do.

Today Seattle's soccer fans will show the world their unmatched passion and national pride. Go @usmnt.ussoccer.com!

On Juneteenth we reflect on America’s history of slavery and what it has meant for our country. It is also a day to look forward and recommit ourselves to the fight for civil rights, voting rights, and social and economic justice.

NSF's decision to halt the dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative is a major victory for coastal communities across the Pacific Northwest. (1/3)

The President’s war with Iran was a mistake. The MOU is the price the President must pay to get us out of this unauthorized war before it further damages our economy and costs more lives. (1/2)

Thank you to the Planned Parenthood Alliance advocates from WA who visited me in DC. We talked about ways to ensure that Planned Parenthood can continue to provide care for the tens of thousands of Washingtonians who count on their services.

I am monitoring the fires in Spokane. These fast-moving fires are unpredictable. Please follow evacuation orders and other instructions from local authorities as they work to save lives and homes. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Schools are cutting Olympic sports programs & dropping scholarships. We can & should write better rules that put athletes first & keep our institutions strong. That is exactly what the Protect College Sports Act does. Thank you USOPC for voicing support!

With seven World Cup matches in Vancouver and six in Seattle, making travel as frictionless as possible between the two venues will be great for fans during the games -- and for the whole region in the long run. (1/2) media.amtrak.com/2026/06/amtr...

An inflation rate of 4.2% is too high for American households to endure. Rising energy prices because of the war with Iran is the biggest reason the cost of living is going up and this Administration has no plan to deal with it.

Homeowners, renters, and business owners in WA who suffered losses from December’s floods may be eligible for FEMA assistance. Tomorrow, June 10, is the deadline to apply by visiting disasterassistance.gov or calling 1-800-621-3362.

Congratulations to Randy Bresnik, Luca Parmitano, Frank Rubio, Andre Douglas, and Bob Hines on being selected for NASA's Artemis III mission! (1/3) www.nasa.gov/news-release...

On #WorldOceansDay, we recognize that healthy oceans are essential to Washington’s economy and environment. I will continue fighting for investments and legislation to protect Puget Sound and our coasts.

82 years ago today, U.S. troops – with our allies – launched the largest amphibious invasion in history, storming the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and democracy. We owe so much to those who served, those who sacrificed, and the families who stood behind them.

Even with gas prices at historic highs, major oil companies know that drilling in the pristine Arctic Refuge makes no sense. (1/2) alaskawild.org/arctic-refug...

"What once felt like a shared national pastime has become a free-for-all, a money flowing with few guardrails, players and coaches constantly moving, and schools struggling to keep pace." @cantwell.senate.gov at college sports hearing: youtu.be/_vAreDcr7Jw

College sports are at a breaking point with thousands of roster slots cut, runaway costs, and chaos. @cantwell.senate.gov & Sen. Cruz introduced the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act of 2026 to fix it.

Happy #PrideMonth! This June, we celebrate our LGBTQ+ community and recommit ourselves to ending discrimination and prejudice so full equality can be achieved. I’ll continue to stand with the community and fight for legislation to protect LGBTQ+ Americans.

This Administration’s use of the Department of Justice to attack free speech is an abuse of power and a misuse of federal authority and resources. (1/2) www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

I am thankful that no one was injured in yesterday’s Blue Origin accident. America’s return to the Moon and the Artemis mission is one of the most important frontiers of science and discovery. (1/2)

I am devastated by reports of fatalities following today’s chemical explosion at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. facility in Longview. My heart is with the workers, families, and entire Longview community as they wait for updates about their loved ones. (1/2)

On this Memorial Day, we remember those service members we have lost. Among those lost in this war, we remember and recognize Capt. Ariana G. Savino of Covington, WA, who earned her commission through the Air Force ROTC program at Central Washington University. (1/3)

We must invest in our strategically vital ports to remain in the game. Today on National Maritime Day, we acknowledge the critical importance of the U.S. maritime transportation system and the hard-working people at our ports, shipyards, and throughout the maritime supply chain.

Today, I joined House and Senate Democrats to oppose the Republicans' new spending package that won't do anything to lower costs.

This new funding will improve safety and reliability at airports across Washington state. By revitalizing our airports, these federal investments will keep pace with passenger growth and support regional economies. komonews.com/news/local/w...

Across WA, Head Start is a lifeline for working parents. On the week of Head Start’s 61st birthday, we celebrate free childcare, nutrition, and healthcare services provided to 15,000 Washington Pre-K kids, and we recognize this essential federal support for families.

The recent rise in attacks on members of the Islamic and Jewish communities is alarming and tragic. The shootings today at the Islamic Center in San Diego are a shocking reminder that we must push back together against the forces of hate. (1/2)
