Today's decision is so important because consumers all over our state and the country have been hurt. Small businesses, manufacturers, individual households have all had to pay higher prices on products that they can't afford. (1/2)
Today is the Day of Remembrance for Japanese internment, a day to remember that Japanese Americans were stripped of their freedom for no other reason than their heritage. We must continue to learn from this dark chapter in American history.
Childcare is a crisis in America, and we know parents need better options. Today in Spokane, I stood with parents, childcare providers, and local leaders to announce a new affordable childcare facility. By lowering these costs, we're easing the burden on families.

Our hearts and prayers are with the Jackson family and the millions of supporters who understand the importance of the work he carried out both nationally and internationally most of his adult life. (2/2)
To further protect consumers’ pocketbooks, Congress should pass the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act that will make PBMs’ spread pricing and claw backs permanently unlawful. (3/3)
The FTC can - and should - do even more to stop PBMs from engaging in unfair practices that drive up drug prices for Americans and force independent pharmacies out of business. (2/3)
Gonzaga's world-class researchers are leading the way – and ushering in the technologies of tomorrow. Great talking to President Passerini about how new federal funding will bolster Gonzaga's R&D mission and unlock opportunities across the Spokane region.

The Trump Administration is demanding our state’s voter rolls so they can get personal information about Washingtonians. You can't spy on Americans. My appearance on Morning Joe ⬇️
Americans have the right to express their views without being killed. We should know that we are upholding civil liberties. The Department of Homeland Security and ICE should be investigated. My speech on the Senate floor ⬇️
Pam Bondi has sued Washington state to get sensitive voter data. I’m standing strong against efforts to undermine our voting system. Democracies don't grow on trees. They need to be protected, defended, and fought for. My letter to AG Bondi ⬇️
