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
NOAA plays an incredibly important role in preserving life and property.
So I don't agree with the Trump Administration proposal to cut NOAA programs.
How do you preserve NOAA's core mission when we're cutting so much of the science budget?

The proposed rescission of $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting isn't just an attack on NPR and PBS -- it's a reckless endangerment of 13 million Americans who depend on these stations for lifesaving emergency information.

The average American family is already seeing $2,300 in increased costs over last year from the Trump tariffs. We can't afford an endless summer of more tariffs and trade wars. (2/2)
Seattle’s annual Independence Day Naturalization Ceremony is an unbelievable way to celebrate the Fourth of July. I was so happy to welcome over 500 new citizens from more than 70 countries, and to say "Congratulations, my fellow Americans."
They stuck to their cruel plan to kick 17 million Americans off of their health insurance and take SNAP benefits away from millions of families -- all so that billionaires and corporations could get another tax cut. (3/3)
This law is the largest cut to Medicaid in history, which will raise costs for everyone’s health insurance. Hospitals, local elected officials from both parties, and everyday Americans all begged Republicans to make changes, but they refused. (2/3)
With the House green lighting President Trump’s goal of taking away health care access and food security for millions, many Americans are going to suffer, and many working families will see their costs go up. (1/3)
The House of Representatives should reject this disastrous legislation so Congress can come back later this month to craft a bipartisan fiscally responsible package that will support working families without adding $3 trillion to our unsustainable federal debt. (5/5)
The lowest 20% of earners will lose an average of $700 a year, far more than they will get from the tax cuts. (4/5)
I voted against this bill that will strip health insurance from 17 million Americans. The bill that Republicans drafted in the dark of night will hit those that can least afford it the hardest. (3/5)
No matter how loud the voices of our constituents, of our state and local leaders, and of our health care providers, they stuck to their script and adopted legislation that will slash about a trillion dollars from Medicaid and cut billions from SNAP. (2/5)
Over the past several days, my Republican colleagues made it very clear what their mission is – to make the largest cuts in the social safety net in U.S. history in order to give away tax breaks to major corporations and billionaires. (1/5)
Today I joined my colleagues from Washington and Idaho in calling for a moment of silence on the Senate floor to remember the two Idaho firefighters killed yesterday. Our hearts go out to the people of Idaho.
It's those who can least afford it who are going to be hit the hardest by the Republican budget bill. Today on the Senate floor, I urged my colleagues to vote no.

I’m about to go to the Senate floor to talk about how the GOP’s proposed budget will sell out the American people. Watch here:

This was a wrong headed proposal that had no place in this reconciliation bill. Many western senators who know the value of recreational lands objected to its inclusion. I am glad our special places will still be available for everyone.
