We've seen a series of policies recently that will make health insurance coverage harder for many Washingtonians. The cost of insurance is definitely going to go up, and we need to fight back.

Lifting the hiring freeze for critical National Weather Service forecasting and warning positions is the right move for public safety--and long overdue. Today’s action is a welcome step toward restoring the essential workforce we need to keep Americans safe in the face of escalating extreme weather.
The law is clear that these funds can only be used for continuing to protect, expand, and maintain America’s beloved public lands and natural heritage for the enjoyment of Americans today and for generations to come. (4/4)
Here in Washington, the law has helped us preserve and expand outdoor recreation opportunities and wildlife habitat in the Central Cascades Forest, Mount St. Helens Forest, and the Yakima Basin watershed. (3/4)
I led the fight with others to write and pass this law, which permanently and fully funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund and invested billions to address long overdue public land maintenance backlogs throughout the State of Washington and around the country. (2/4)
Five years ago, Congress overwhelmingly passed, and President Trump signed into law, the Great American Outdoors Act which was the most significant land conservation and outdoor recreation bill in half a century. (1/4)
I led the fight with others to write and pass this law, which permanently and fully funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund and invested billions to address long overdue public land maintenance backlogs throughout the State of Washington and around the country. (2/4)
And Congress should enforce rules-based trade that opens up export markets for American goods. (3/3)
Instead of starting trade wars with our allies, running up the national debt, cutting infrastructure investments, and badgering the Federal Reserve, the Trump Administration should course-correct and focus on economic policies that lower costs for American families and businesses. (2/3)
Today’s report shows a quarter million fewer jobs in May and June than previously asserted by the administration – evidence that Trump’s tariffs are raising costs and slowing the economy. (1/3)
The US economy added only 73,000 jobs last month, less than half the average of last year as the labor market weakens. Estimates of job growth in past two months were also revised downward. Manufacturing jobs fell for the third straight month. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/u...
Tariffs increase what Americans pay for household goods and food.
No president has the authority to raise taxes on their constituents without Congress acting.
The Constitution protects Americans from this kind of activity, and Congress should make that clear.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens daily. I joined 43 other Senate Democrats to call for the immediate large-scale expansion of humanitarian aid in Gaza by NGOs. I also urged the administration to resume diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire agreement and end the war.
We warned our colleagues that the SCORE Act will leave small and mid-sized institutions behind.

We lost civil rights icon John Lewis five years ago today. He spent his life showing us how to fight for justice and equality, and he continues to inspire Americans to stand up for what is right – even in the face of great adversity.
By ripping away funding for these local stations that millions rely on when disasters strike – from flash floods and hurricanes to tornadoes and wildfires – Republicans chose to cut vital public safety communications, threatening rural communities who depend on public media most. (2/2)
Tonight, Senate Republicans pulled the plug on more than 1,500 public radio and TV stations across America – silencing broadcasters that delivered more than 11,000 life-saving emergency alerts last year and a Tsunami warning to Alaskans hours ago. (1/2)
Today I took to the Senate floor to urge my colleagues to vote against cuts to emergency broadcast funding. How could anyone possibly think that's a wise idea given the extreme weather events that we are facing in our nation?

The more you can move people and resources out of the way of a storm, the more you can predict what might happen, the better prepared we're going to be. And that's going to help us save lives, and certainly save dollars.

If you thought the dissolution of the Pac-12 was a heist, the SCORE Act is the National Championship of all heists. This legislation is a power grab by the two biggest conferences that will leave athletes, coaches, and small and mid-sized institutions behind. My letter with Rep. Baumgartner:
Reposted bySen. Maria Cantwell
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) told "Face The Nation" that the federal government must take responsibility for investigating the breakdown in flood warnings during the recent deadly storms in Texas, calling it a "national responsibility" to improve forecasting systems. https://cbsn.ws/44rnENq
