Today is #TeacherAppreciationDay! I’m sponsoring this year’s Senate resolution recognizing National Teacher Appreciation Week, because teachers work tirelessly every single day, educating and inspiring the next generation of Washingtonians.

We must stand together, continue to demand justice, and work together to get more law enforcement resources on the ground to help tribes protect their people from violence. (2/2)
May 5th is a day we remember the victims of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People crisis and recognize the suffering of families and Native communities. (1/2)
As we head into hurricane and wildfire season, this is an unprecedented abdication of basic government responsibilities that's going to cost lives and money. (3/3)
The Trump administration’s cuts have put our most experienced forecasters on the sidelines and ended 24/7 operations at some offices which means when weather strikes, we could be without forecast operations. (2/3)
Americans rely on the National Weather Service forecasts for everything from getting their kids to school on time to getting out of the way when a disaster hits. (1/3)

“People in the United States should not have to travel overseas to enjoy the religious experience of great Italian pizza,” says Joe Fugere, founder of Tutta Bella. “Tariffs put all of that at risk.”
Yesterday I joined my Democratic colleagues on the steps of the Capitol to stand up against the chaotic first 100 days of the Trump administration.
We are going to hold this Administration accountable for the cuts in science.
Apprenticeships are a win-win: Companies find the workers they need, and workers earn a paycheck while learning skills on the job. The jobs of tomorrow are here today, and apprenticeships are helping train and skill the next generation of workers to fill them. #NAWDay2025
Today’s GDP numbers are another warning sign our economy is moving in the wrong direction. The economy shrunk in the first quarter when it should be growing. The Trump tariffs are a drag on the economy and American families will continue to feel the pain.

Expanding and improving the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit will do just that by making it more affordable to build homes and lower rents. (2/2)
Housing inflation is up 4% over the past year nationally and 4.5% in the Pacific Northwest – and that was before homebuilders reported an additional 5.5% increase in costs due to tariffs this year. We need to do more to lower housing costs for everyone. (1/2)

My statement on the first 100 days of the Trump Administration:
Barry Barr, CEO of outdoor wear company KAVU, on how tariffs impact his business: “Due to the extreme spikes in prices, we are expecting that many, if not all of our 2,000 independent outdoor retailers … will cancel their orders, leaving us with no sales, and at the precipice of shutting down.”
Jeff Damir, COO of SwaddleDesigns, talks about the impact of tariffs on his business: “We have a container that's right now sitting in China, ready to ship. That container would cost us $300,000 of extra tariffs, given the 145%. Obviously, that container is going to stay in China.”
... and less competitive in the face of its adversaries — it is the type of behavior you would expect from a Chinese Communist Party asset.
Don't blame Panch for stepping down. (2/2)
The National Science Foundation 55 percent budget cut is a deliberate dismemberment of America's innovation engine by Russell Vought and DOGE. This is exactly the type of behavior you would expect from someone seeking to make America weaker ... (1/2)

Chris Stone, Washington Wine Commission, on the impact of new tariffs: “Canada, our number one export market...literally disappeared overnight. The Canadian Government mandated that all US alcohol be removed from shelves, so you can't even buy it if you wanted to.”
Today on Yom HaShoah we pause in remembrance of the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were victims of the Holocaust, and the millions of other victims of Nazism. This is a day both for honoring the dead and pledging never to forget the atrocities of the past.
