I'm working to pass legislation that puts money back in workers’ pockets by cracking down on wage theft. I spoke with Acting Secretary Julie Su about what U.S. Department of Labor is doing right now to make sure workers get paid the full wages they have earned.

This new holistic agreement is an important step forward for the clean-up mission at Hanford and the workers who power it. I'll keep doing everything I can to ensure the federal government lives up to its legal and moral obligation to get the job done.

What she said ⬇️

Republicans want to extend the Trump tax cuts and give even more money to the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations.

Democrats are working to lower costs, put money back in the pockets of working families, and level the playing field for small businesses.

The new Senate GOP bill encouraging women to register their pregnancies with the government & referring them to anti-abortion propaganda is disturbing & DANGEROUS.

Americans don’t want this & as long as Dems are in charge, we’ll make sure this bill goes nowhere in the Senate.

New federal funding I fought for will help expand the supply of affordable housing and bring down costs in Asotin County and across WA state. This support will go a long way to help families keep a roof over their heads. bigcountrynewsconnection.com/local/feds-sen…

Senate Republicans' new bill is a dystopian proposal to track, intimidate, & coerce pregnant women into carrying their pregnancies to term no matter their circumstances. It is a dangerous roadmap for how the GOP would weaponize the government to control women's bodies.

Child care is out of reach for families and child care workers are struggling to make ends meet on low wages. This crisis is an urgent economic priority that hurts families, businesses, and our entire economy, and I will keep working to fix it. #DWOCC24

Menopause is something every woman goes through—and yet, for too long, it has been overlooked, underinvested in, and left behind. So I introduced a bipartisan bill to change that.

I really enjoyed meeting with this year's Institute for a Democratic Future class. It's always great to see young people from Washington state get involved in public service and hear about their passion to make our state a better place to live, learn, and thrive.

“They don't want the public to know that, because of these laws, women are going to die.”

Listen to doctors: these bogus “clarifications” to extreme abortion bans are nothing but a dishonest PR campaign from the same Republicans who caused this crisis.

This Mother's Day, I'm committed to pushing for policies to support moms in WA state and across the country—like access to affordable child care, paid leave, closing the wage gap, and so much more. We should do more than just celebrate, we need to take action.

Lois Langer Thompson has done amazing work with Sno-Isle Libraries to expand digital equity and access programs—and it was great to meet with her one last time before her retirement! Her work is a great reminder of why libraries are such an important part of our communities.

Inflation is down. 📉
Wages are up. 📈
Record job creation. 📣

This is a direct result of strong action by President Biden and Democrats to strengthen the middle class and better support workers.

I always fight to make sure our government funding bills help WA state grow and thrive. It was great to talk to Economic Alliance SC about how federal investments I secured—from child care to workforce—will make a difference in their communities.

The gun violence epidemic is tearing apart communities. It's got to stop.

Common sense gun safety legislation—like universal background checks and an assault weapons ban—will go a long way to save lives, and I will not stop fighting until we get this done.

There's been an alarming rise in illegal and dangerous child labor violations in WA state & across the country. I'm working to pass my bill to protect children from exploitative child labor practices while making sure U.S. Department of Labor has the support it needs to enforce current laws.

The Trump tax cuts were a massive giveaway to big corporations & the ultra-wealthy.

Extending them would add trillions to the deficit & leave working people in the dust for the sake of handouts to the top 1%—that's what Republicans are pushing for.

Happy to see folks from the Washington Wine Growers Association to talk about the funding I secured to research the effects of wildfire smoke on their crops and discuss how I can continue to support WA state vineyards. 🍇🍷

No household in America should be turning on their water and wondering if it is safe to drink.

New funding for WA state will help communities upgrade water infrastructure to ensure families have access to the clean, safe drinking water they deserve. nbcrightnow.com/news/epa-annou…
