Happy #LaborDay, Washington! Since the first observance in 1882, we have taken this day to honor hard-working Americans and rededicate ourselves to protecting workers' rights. To unlock opportunities for the future we must invest in our workers.
"Celebrating Labor Day"
Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, an important time to remember people we've lost. Across our state, Washingtonians are gathering to remember those who lost their lives to overdose, and offer support to their neighbors who are dealing with addiction.
Overdose death is preventable
The President should listen to the courts, end his illegal tariffs, and stop driving up prices for American consumers, small businesses, and manufacturers. And Congress should pass the bipartisan Trade Review Act and end these reckless trade wars. (2/2)
Three federal courts have now ruled that the President does not have the authority to impose arbitrary tariffs. Trump tariffs are already starting to fuel inflation at a time when too many Americans are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. (1/2)
It is a reminder that Congress must act on common sense gun reform from supporting red flag laws and extreme risk protection orders to passing universal background checks. And it is not the time to cut federal funding for state and local law enforcement. (2/2)
I am deeply saddened by the senseless acts of violence and the loss of innocent lives today in Minneapolis. My heart goes out to the students, their families, and faculty. No child should face danger at school or in church. (1/2)
On #WomensEqualityDay we honor the women who struggled hard & long to win the right to vote. Because of them, our democracy includes our voices – and that makes our country stronger.
Antique pennant with the words "Votes for Women"
Stacey Johnson, Founder and President of Your Insurance Gal Agency in Vancouver, explains how recent federal policy changes will increase health care costs. This is a real threat to our health care affordability. Congress should act to preserve Affordable Care Act tax credits.
I am proud that we have 44 companies across the state contributing directly to the upcoming Artemis II and Artemis III missions, thanks to the outstanding work of our state’s talented STEM professionals. (2/2)
Happy 90th birthday to Social Security! Without this program, nearly 300,000 Washingtonians would fall under the poverty line. That is why I take offense when the Treasury Secretary says the Trump Accounts might be a back door way to privatize Social Security. Not on my watch!
Dana Christiansen, owner of a child care center in Camas, says rising health insurance costs create tough choices for her business: “How much do I take on and absorb? How much do I pass on to the employee? How much do I pass on to the families in the form of tuition increases?”
It may take a while for the courts to act on this overreach by President Trump who is simply trying to project power. But the American people know there are better ways to solve their problems than this authoritarian move. (6/6)
