Artemis II begins its flyby of the far side of the moon at 10:30 a.m. PT today. The first time humans will see the dark side of the moon (I can’t speak to whether or not non-human eyes have seen it).

I'm glad that I could work with the Mountlake Terrace community to help bring this new trail system to life. I will always work to bring home federal dollars to fund projects that help people access public transportation safely.

This week's Recap with Rick: visiting small businesses in Northwest Washington and cutting the ribbon on new trails at Veterans Memorial Park in Mountlake Terrace.

The funds I requested in next year's spending bills will create good-paying local jobs and improve infrastructure, public safety and education in Northwest Washington. I will keep working to bring home federal money to support working families and strengthen our communities.

Goodwinds Composites in Mount Vernon is paying 25% more for certain machines because of Trump's tariffs. The President's failing economic policies are hurting local businesses, and I will keep working in Congress to get our economy back on the right track.

One year after "Liberation Day," it's still not complicated: trade good, tariffs bad. I will keep up the fight to end Trump's stupid tariffs and bring your costs down.

Trump's executive order on mail-in ballots is an unlawful effort to suppress the right to vote.

Thank you to the United States Marine Corps for a great demonstration and discussion on aviation safety.

In an era of increasing attacks on trans rights, I will keep working as a member of the @equalitycaucus towards a future where trans people are always free to live openly and authentically.

As many as 390,000 Washingtonians could have their Medicare, Medicaid or ACA coverage ripped away thanks to the Big Ugly Law, and Republicans want to slash federal health spending again to pay for Trump's war in Iran. This is not what Americans want.

Hope the hackers enjoy…

Americans want lower prices and less war, but they are getting higher prices and more war from the Trump administration.

Big news for Washington public transportation today. Congratulations to Sound Transit on a successful Crosslake Connection opening day and I’m excited to ride across Lake Washington sometime soon.

House Republicans have chosen to continue to force public servants to work without pay and Americans to wait in line for hours to catch a flight.

Ready to watch USMNT vs. Belgium today! 🇺🇸🇧🇪🇺🇸

This week's Recap with Rick: good news for aviation safety and building local infrastructure to withstand natural disasters, and a heartfelt thanks to workers at TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA and DHS.

Hard-working public servants deserve to get paid for their work immediately.

Women deserve equal pay for equal work.

Finally!! Time for the Sonics to come home.

Americans want lower prices and less war, but they are getting higher prices and more war from the Trump administration.

The tragic landslide that devastated the Oso and Darrington communities twelve years ago forever changed the lives of so many in Snohomish County. While the support of the community has helped Oso heal since 2014, I will never forget those who lost their lives in the landslide.

This weekend, I helped cut the ribbon at Olmsted Park in Sedro-Woolley. I brought home $500,000 in federal dollars to help bring the park to life, and I'm glad that the community will be able to use this new space to play soccer, fish, picnic and more.

This week‘s Recap with Rick: new addiction recovery services in Sedro-Woolley and fighting to pay TSA agents while we reform ICE.

I met with Jamco America to tour their aircraft interior manufacturing facilities. Northwest Washington makes the best planes and aviation equipment in the nation, and our business-class seating is no exception.

My thoughts are with Captain Savino's family, and the families of the twelve other service members killed in this war.

Go Dawgs, Go Zags! #marchmadness

Flooding is expected across Northwest Washington over the coming days. As of now, these are the forecasted levels. I encourage everyone to review flood preparedness guidelines and check your county's emergency management website for more information:

People, not unregulated AI, should lead health care decisions. The WISeR Model is just the latest example of the Trump administration making health care worse and I am proud to co-lead legislation to stop its implementation.

Americans want lower prices and less war, but they are getting higher prices and more war from the Trump administration.

I toured Community Medical Services' new opioid treatment facility in Everett, which will serve up to 500 people in our communities recovering from addiction. The opioid crisis has devastated families across Northwest Washington and I am fighting for legislative solutions to combat the epidemic.

Trump wanted to slash funding to put roofs over the heads of homeless veterans. Congress said no.

This week's Recap with Rick: supporting opioid recovery in Northwest Washington and touring Seattle's FIFA World Cup base camp.

I encourage the many gifted young artists of Northwest Washington to submit their artwork to the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations again to last year's winner, Tessa Meyer of Oak Harbor High School, and I look forward to seeing this year's submissions to the competition.

I was in Island County yesterday, visiting Habitat for Humanity of Island County and touring the new transfer station at the Island County Solid Waste Complex.

I'm glad VA fixed this unacceptable rule change, which would have reduced disability compensation for veterans taking medications for their symptoms. I will keep fighting to safeguard the benefits that veterans need.

This week's Recap with Rick: voting no on war with Iran and funding for ICE.

People in Northwest Washington have the right to know who is spending money to influence elections. This legislation will ensure accountability in our electoral process so voters can make informed decisions about the candidates running for office.

Today I once again voted no on funding ICE.

Today, I voted against President Trump’s reckless war with Iran.

Oh Canada!

Trump wanted to eliminate funding for early childhood education. Congress said no.

Americans are urged to leave 14 countries in the Middle East due to serious safety risks. If you are experiencing difficulties in departing an unsafe situation, please contact my office.

The Constitution gives Congress and only Congress the authority to send our nation to war. Speaker Johnson must immediately reconvene the House so that we may vote on a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities in Iran absent congressional authorization.

This week’s Recap with Rick: meeting with Northwest Washington tribes and local transportation leaders.

Low-interest loans are now available for Northwest Washington businesses recovering from December’s devastating floods. Apply online here: www.sba.gov/funding-prog...

Since 2022, I have brought home more than $75 million for 54 important community projects in our region. Local governments, publicly owned entities and non-profit organizations can now apply for federal funding to support Fiscal Year 2027 community projects here: larsen.house.gov/fy2027-commu...

Tonight in the State of the Union, the President must take accountability for skyrocketing prices, failing tariffs policies and ICE brutalizing communities.

I had a great meeting with the Port of Bellingham about their plans to add an international arrivals terminal to the Bellingham airport. I will keep advocating for funding to shore up local infrastructure and serve more people in Northwest Washington.

Every investment of federal dollars here at home will serve our communities for decades to come. I will keep working with local leaders to make sure federal spending benefits the people I represent.
