President Trump still has done nothing and suggested nothing to address inflation. Instead, he does the number one thing that will increase costs on food, housing, and manufacturing. (1/2)
They also threaten our maritime commerce and endanger 1.7 million jobs that depend on commercial, recreational and tribal fisheries, including thousands in the State of Washington. (2/3)
Drug traffickers should not be allowed to exploit the U.S. transportation system to smuggle fentanyl and precursor chemicals to make illicit synthetic drugs. My legislation would equip law enforcement with the tools they need to curb drug smuggling.
This is the fifth week of the Trump Administration. He is not doing enough to lower the cost of everyday goods for working families and neither will this Republican budget plan. (2/2)
Senate Republicans voted to give $4 trillion in tax cuts to corporations and the ultra-rich while failing to protect programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans voted "no" on our efforts to make housing more affordable, and they rejected efforts to reduce grocery prices. (1/2)
Tonight I sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick, urging him to exempt NWS from the federal hiring freeze due to the critical role the agency plays in public safety and supporting the economy, (1/2)
We can't afford inflation. We want prices to come down. And we know that tariffs can increase prices. So Mr. Lutnick, who is going to be involved in driving and responsible for this tariff impact, is not someone I want to see as Secretary of Commerce.
Today is the #DayofRemembrance for Japanese internment. On this day, we remember the injustices suffered by Japanese Americans who were stripped of their freedom and their rights for no other reason than their heritage.
Cherry Kinoshita was incarcerated at Puyallup and Minidoka during WWII, and went on to become a JACL leader. In this clip, she describes the very first #DayOfRemembrance in 1978 when 2,200 people caravanned from Seattle to the site of the Puyallup Assembly Center. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RXN...
Our deficit and essential programs like Medicaid can't take the Trump hack job. The Trump Administration is also leaving Americans' data exposed while he is doing it. What is he going to do next that will make it easier for Americans to be spied on? (2/2)
The Trump Administration is trying to illegally cut the federal workforce in an attempt to come up with a budget and tax increases on middle class Americans, all while giving $4 trillion in tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest individuals. (1/2)
I urged my colleagues to vote no on RFK Jr.’s nomination. Achieving better health outcomes happens when we follow science. Not conspiracy theories, but science. Instead of speeding up innovation, under Mr. Kennedy, we would be taking a risky step backwards.
Many of Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum have been in place since 2018. Nothing was resolved and they added costs to cars, building materials, and energy projects. Now in 2025, the President wants to double down raising costs on Americans even more. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...
I am for a very strong national privacy law to protect our consumers. So, I don't take lightly somebody getting access to accounts and information, storing it, moving it around, sharing it with other people. I'm not for the government doing this kind of thing without oversight.
