In just six weeks, workers will begin to treat and dispose MOST of this waste for the first time in the history of the Hanford Cleanup Mission. Any plans to deviate from this plan will delay the cleanup and waste billions in taxpayer dollars. (2/3)

There are 56 million gallons of radioactive waste, stored in tanks that are over 40 years beyond their design life, that are leaking into the ground next to the Columbia River. (1/3)

This National Aerospace Week we recognize the State of Washington’s more than 100,000 aerospace workers. You are helping our state play a very proud role in the exploration of space and the space economy. #AeroWeek2025
… and provide an annual report to Congress on U.S. Government efforts to get answers for the families of Americans who were killed. (6/6)
This legislation would also require the Special Envoy to provide support and information to the families of those who were killed, seek foreign government accountability … (5/6)
… to investigate all killings of American civilians by members of foreign militaries or intelligence services since 2024. (4/6)
Therefore, I plan to introduce an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) or a stand-alone bill to create a permanent Special Envoy at the U.S. Department of State … (3/6)
I joined several members of the Senate in asking the U.S. State Department and U.S. Department of Justice to do an independent investigation of her death and so far they have declined. (2/6)
It has been one year since Aysenur Eygi was killed in the West Bank and the answers her family has received so far are not enough. (1/6)
The history on vaccines is very clear. RFK Jr. doesn’t want to support that.
So the governors of the West -- Washington, Oregon, and California -- will take up the efficacy of science.
RFK Jr. is perpetrating hoaxes and I don't support his continued efforts as Secretary. We need to rally around science.
We should be proud of Operation Warp Speed. We should be supporting more of that science. We are not done with flu pandemics. Why would we want to be sitting around in a few years going: "Gosh, we don't have any solutions here, let's call up the Europeans or the Canadians.”
Reposted bySen. Maria Cantwell
And on Senator Cantwell making it clear that millions of lives in this country and around the world have been saved because of vaccines:
RFK Jr. is a charlatan. He is undermining the whole health care delivery system and taking away the science and technology that has saved millions of lives.

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.
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.
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)
