The SCORE Act is not the solution for the athlete. We want a healthy ecosystem, and that means putting athletes at the table and listening to what they have to say.
We hear a lot of speeches but do not see any real attempt to negotiate solutions. It is time for Congress make addressing the affordability problem its number one priority. (3/3)
In the last year, electricity is up 5.1 percent, the cost of meat, fish, poultry and eggs is up 5.2 percent, and housing is up 3.6 percent. Now, families are confronting unaffordable health insurance premiums because the Republican Congress refuses to do anything to help. (2/3)
Contrary to the Administration’s talking points, the data shows that American consumers still are not seeing their costs of living come down. (1/3)

The SCORE Act “is not reform, it’s regression,” says Meghann Burke, Exec. Director of @nwslplayers.bsky.social. “We need athletes, men and women alike… to have a real seat at the table in shaping the future of college sports."
I joined @merkley.senate.gov during his marathon floor speech to talk about how tariffs have put soybean growers on their heels.
Instead of dealing with the fact that their own constituents are getting run over, our colleagues are ignoring that the President is abusing these powers.
The President is abusing his power on tariffs. It's such an important constitutional authority given to Congress. The President should not have authority to usher in economic impact in this dramatic way.

At today’s roundtable, Sens. Cantwell, Blumenthal, and Booker underscored the need for real reform in college sports, and urged the House to reject the SCORE Act’s rush to enrich a few at the expense of athletes. #CollegeAthletics

The SCORE Act is not what we think it is. It's not the solution for the athlete. There's a lot of people scoring. Two big divisions and their commissioners, they're scoring. The NCAA, they're scoring. Apparently private equity is scoring. But who's not scoring is the athletes.
Right now, Congress needs to act. Families who buy health coverage on ACA exchanges are threatened by large increases in health insurance premiums – including 1 in 13 Jefferson County residents.
Families are still reeling from sky-high inflation on everyday expenses like electricity, housing, and groceries. Congress must act immediately to extend the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits or healthcare will be added to their list of financial burdens. (3/3)
They face an impossible choice: Pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars more next year for the exact same plan, downgrade their coverage, or forego health insurance altogether. (2/3)
The window-shopping period for purchasing health insurance on Washington Healthplanfinder is beginning and unfortunately Washingtonians are going to see skyrocketing premiums statewide. (1/3)
Students will face much higher costs if enhanced premium tax credits aren’t extended -- a 26-year-old part-time student in Eastern WA would see his health insurance premiums quadruple.

Ranking Member @cantwell.senate.gov and Chair Ted Cruz have reached a bipartisan agreement on aviation safety legislation to close the ADS-B Out loophole, strengthen FAA oversight, & help prevent future tragedies in our skies. #AviationSafety

We've made some big investments to grow the middle class, like in the CHIPS & Science Act.
But now we have a president who isn't embracing that policy -- he's making things more expensive with tariffs, and that’s making it harder to grow the middle class.
Today is #SpiritDay — a day to take a stand against bullying and show support for our #LGBTQ+ youth. Too many LGBTQ+ young people still face harassment at school. That is wrong and unacceptable, and it must end.
If Congress doesn’t extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, health insurance premiums for a single dad in Snohomish County will more than triple.
