It was great to talk with the Public Power Council about their priorities, challenges, and our shared interest and support for federal investments in salmon recovery.

In Washington state, our fish drive local economies and are foundational to the culture of the Pacific Northwest—and the record investments in fish passage projects we’ve secured under President Biden will make a big difference in saving precious species and restoring critical habitats.

Child care is what got me into politics—and making sure we're investing in kids and families has always been one of my top priorities.

I'm working every day to fix our broken child care system: for families, businesses, and our entire economy. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…

As the daughter of a Purple Heart veteran, it hit close to home when a constituent brought to my attention that servicemembers who were awarded the Purple Heart post-service couldn’t transfer their GI benefits to their dependents.

I introduced a bill to fix that.

Today is the first-ever Disability Reproductive Equity Day—an acknowledgment that while Republican attacks on abortion hurt all women, they particularly harm people with disabilities who already face barriers to health care. We’ll keep fighting to restore everyone's repro rights.

Women are half the population and yet we are nowhere near where we need to be when it comes to federal investments in women's health research. That has got to change.

This is a new low for Republicans who are trying everything they can think of to attack women's access to safe abortion care and prevent doctors from doing their jobs.

This law is cruel & will push care further out of reach for more women. Remember: Donald Trump did this.

The Dobbs decision threatened the right to birth control—yes, BIRTH CONTROL.

.Senator Mazie Hirono and I have legislation in the Senate to protect the right to contraception and make sure it's affordable, and we'll do everything we can to get our bills across the finish line.

Donald Trump & his MAGA anti-choice allies would not hesitate to rip away the right to birth control.

Trump overturned Roe & we've seen over and over again that Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's bodies.

Don't fall for his lies. We know exactly what he will do.

Who sits on our nation's courts matters for so many reasons, including—as we’ve seen—our reproductive rights.

Confirming 200 of President Biden's qualified & diverse judicial nominees is a big milestone in our work to ensure our courts are fair & reflect the people in their communities.

I worked hard to get Hanford the federal funding it needed in last year's spending bills—and I'll keep pushing to make sure that commitment and federal support continues.

Every worker should be able to bargain for better wages and good benefits, and it was concerning to hear reports of Boeing firefighters being locked out.

But I'm glad both parties were able to reach a tentative agreement. That's good for Boeing and its workers.

At today’s Senate Appropriations Dems hearing, I reiterated that during this extremely challenging moment across the world, it is imperative that the Department of State has the resources it needs to fulfill its mission, prevent conflict, and help keep all of us safe.

In this grim reality where women are being denied emergency abortion care, this is an important step to make it easier for patients to file an EMTALA complaint & ensure hospitals follow the law.

But make no mistake, these protections will disappear under a second Trump admin.

We have got to support our men and women in uniform—period. At today's Senate Appropriations Dems hearing, I spoke with Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth about the need for affordable child care on military bases, making sure housing needs are met, and more.

Republican abortion bans are creating health care chaos across the country—and it's only getting worse.

Democrats are going to keep fighting back to restore abortion rights nationwide.

Republicans have created a nightmare for women who need abortion care—and their bans are putting health care providers in impossible situations.

Doctors should never have to turn patients away just because politicians have tied their hands.
