Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a legendary civil rights leader, drum major for justice, and American hero. As we face new attacks on our civil rights, Dr. King's legacy inspires us to fight against injustice, stand for equality, and work together to defend hard-won freedoms.

I see the President released a one-page health care framework today. Mr. President, today is the end of open enrollment. 80,000 people in Washington state are at risk of losing their health insurance. We need more than a one-page plan.
Today on National #KoreanAmericanDay, we honor the enduring mark Korean Americans have left on our culture & politics. I join in celebrating the Korean American community’s many contributions which make WA a better place to live, work, & raise a family.
Instead of working to lower these costs, this Administration’s tariff policies and assault on renewable and alternative energy is only driving them higher. Consumers are feeling the pain from broken promises. (2/2)
President Trump promised to lower prices on day one. He has not. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said today that consumer prices are 2.7 percent higher than a year ago. The price of groceries are up 2.4 percent and electricity prices are up by 6.7 percent. (1/2)
Breaking news: Inflation remained elevated in December, closing out a year of stubbornly high prices complicated by tariffs and a government shutdown.
The Roadless Rule -- which limits clear-cutting and roadbuilding in America’s last remaining pristine forests -- turns 25 today! I've fought for the Rule since 2001 because Washingtonians depend on our 2 million acres to safeguard clean drinking water sources and our $25+billion outdoor rec economy.
Sen. Cantwell at Roadless Rule rally
Voting by mail is safe, trackable, and encourages high turnout. Washington helped pioneer vote-by-mail, and our voters have used it to participate in our democracy for years. I hope this ruling will stop those who would undermine our elections or make it harder to vote. komonews.com/news/politic...
I'm already hearing from Washingtonians whose health insurance costs have skyrocketed this year because this crucial tax credit expired -- one Seattleite told me her health insurance premium went from $72 a month to $600 a month. (2/3)
After December's atmospheric river & flooding, WA was hit with 73 landslides. I introduced the National Landslide Preparedness Act & helped it pass the Senate this week. Supporting early warning systems, risk mapping, & real time information will keep communities safe. komonews.com/news/local/l...
President Trump's actions in Venezuela have set a dangerous precedent. It's certainly not worth U.S. blood to commandeer oil that is not going to lower prices at the pump. My hope is Republicans will continue to join Democrats in reasserting the role of Congress.
Five Republicans join Democrats to force Senate check on Trump's war powers in Venezuela, delivering a notable rebuke of the president. https://cnn.it/4aQiFcO
The shooting in Minneapolis today by an ICE agent is deeply disturbing. We cannot have federal agents killing people in our neighborhoods. There must be a full investigation and accountability.
Five years ago today, democracy prevailed in the face of violence. Brave Americans put their safety on the line so that Congress could respect the will of the American people and uphold the rule of law.
President Trump’s actions today with Venezuela raise more questions than answers. Is America going to be involved in running and stabilizing Venezuela? Today's actions raise many questions about the stability of the region and our policy towards South America.
