Proud to stand with this group of bipartisan Senate women & the inspiring @HalleBerry to introduce new legislation to finally end the stigma around menopause and make sure women get the mid-life health care they need.

Menopause is something every woman goes through—so there’s no reason any woman should feel like she’s going through it alone or can’t find reliable information.

I led Senate women in introducing a bipartisan bill to finally treat menopause like the public health issue it is.

SOON: I'm about to join @HalleBerry & Senate women to discuss our new bipartisan legislation to expand menopause research, education, and awareness—it's time for the federal government to stop ignoring menopause.

Today marks 2 years since the Dobbs leak.

Each day we see more of the chaos & cruelty Republican abortion bans are inflicting on women—and everyone should understand that Donald Trump is responsible for this.

Democrats will keep fighting to restore abortion rights nationwide.

Lack of child care shouldn't be a barrier for veterans to get to their appointments at the VA—but it too often is.

That's why I created VA's Child Care Pilot Program & at today's Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Dems hearing, I asked Secretary Denis McDonough when we'll see progress to expand the program.

As long as I am Senate Appropriations Dems Chair, I will continue to insist that any boosts to our defense spending are accompanied by equal boosts to needs here at home to support families and working people.

Democrats stood up for working families in our government funding bills.

We delivered a $1 billion increase in funding for child care & pre-k, protected WIC funding for moms & babies from GOP cuts, stopped countless GOP efforts to ban abortion, and more.

.Sen. Tammy Baldwin and I refuse to live in a country where our daughters and granddaughters have fewer rights than we did—which is why we're doing everything we can in the Senate to restore Roe and the right to abortion nationwide.

Today a near-total abortion ban goes into effect in Florida, ripping away access to essential reproductive health care from women across the South. When you read the devastating stories of the chaos and cruelty this ban will cause, remember one thing: Donald Trump did this.

We need an assault weapons ban.
We need universal background checks.
We need to end gun violence.

RT if you agree.

I take the federal government’s moral & legal obligation to support Hanford cleanup very seriously. The holistic agreement on a path forward for the treatment of tank waste is an important step for the site & the workers who power the cleanup mission. crosscut.com/news/2024/04/h…

No one should have to deal with harassment when they’re just trying to do their job and put food on the table—and thanks to President Biden, we have a Democratic majority on the U.S. EEOC standing firmly with workers. This updated harassment guidance is much-needed and long-overdue.

This is Trump telling everyone he will let a national abortion ban become law, he wants states to punish women for abortion care no matter what, and he wants states to surveil pregnant women to stop them from getting abortions.

Spread the news, tell everyone, BELIEVE HIM.

I have always fought hard to deliver strong federal investments to support public transit here at home. And I am so excited that we will no longer have to wait years for light rail to come to Bellevue—instead, it will be here every ten minutes! 🚈 seattletimes.com/seattle-news/t…

Many students depend on school lunches, and they shouldn't have to go hungry just because it's summer break.

I fought hard to get a Summer EBT program up & running in WA state so these kids can focus less on their meals and more on enjoying their break. yakimaherald.com/news/local/edu…

Good news for those affected by January's severe storms in WA state: President Biden just approved a Major Disaster Declaration—opening up new federal support. I pushed for this declaration, which will help communities rebuild vital public infrastructure. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Republicans have no business telling people when or how to start a family. Period.

Women should be able to make their own health care choices. Period.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin & I sat down for my first #LadiesWhoLegislate conversation to discuss why it's so important we restore Roe—and what we need to do to make it happen.

MAGA extremists have been handpicking the judges they want to hear their case as a way to advance their dangerous agenda when it comes to banning abortion & so much more.

It's got to stop—and I helped introduce a bill to do just that.

ICYMI: In the face of GOP attempts to treat abortion patients & providers as criminals, the Biden administration's new rule helps prevent your private medical information from being shared with law enforcement.

This will go a long way to help protect women AND doctors.
