The rollout of the VA's electronic health record system has been rushed, mishandled, and is a serious issue for veterans in Washington state.
I made clear to Trump's VA Secretary nominee, Doug Collins, that fixing EHR must be a priority.

It’s a sad day for America when a President who refused to relinquish power and incited an insurrection returns to office years later only to grant violent criminals a Presidential pardon or commutation. I won't let President Trump paper over the reality of that dark day.
NEW: With a stroke of his pen, Donald Trump laid waste to the four-year effort to punish the peopel who stormed the Capitol in his name on Jan. 6, 2021.
Among the 1,500 pardoned: People convicted of brutal assaults on police and seditious conspiracy.

Being tough on immigration does not require us to forsake our bedrock principles—like due process or our moral obligation to keep children safe—and it does not require us to ignore our common sense and waste crucial resources.
I voted NO on the Laken Riley Act.
MLK Jr.'s vision of a more just and equal nation is something we must continue to work toward today and every day. He led a movement rooted in compassion and purpose—today we honor his memory and the way he changed America for the better.
This isn't about left or right. It's about whose side you're on. I'm with workers and middle-class families, not the billionaires who want you to foot the bill for their tax cuts. abcnews.go.com/Politics/mus...
Cecile Richards was a dear friend & invaluable partner in so many fights, from making sure the ACA covered birth control to keeping Planned Parenthood's doors open no matter what.
She changed the conversation around women's health & was a fighter to the end. She will be missed.
Republicans want to extend the Trump tax cuts to line the pockets of their billionaire friends rather than invest in what really matters to working families: affordable child care, quality health care, & making our communities safer.
Repost if you agree they've got it backward.
The new law we passed to make sure public workers finally get the full Social Security benefits they earned applies to spouses, too. If your spouse worked in public service and you weren't able to get benefits in the past, now is the time to sign up. Learn more! 👇

BIG NEWS: Thanks to Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, Medicare is negotiating lower prices for 15 MORE of the most costly drugs. This is another huge step toward making lifesaving medications more affordable for people across the country. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...
House Republicans want to rip the rug out from under tens of millions of children and families who rely on Medicaid for health care—in order to pay for their agenda to reward billionaires. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-g...
RFK Jr. is an outright, unapologetic, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist.
He is a dangerous pick to lead Trump's Department of Health—and it's Americans' health and safety that are at stake if the Senate confirms him to this critical role.
Capitol police officers put their lives on the line to keep everyone safe—Democrats and Republicans—during a violent insurrection. Yet Speaker Johnson can't be bothered to put a plaque on the wall to honor the law enforcement who protected him.
The November bomb cyclone had catastrophic impacts across WA state. I'm leading the WA state delegation in urging President Biden to open up federal assistance to help families, businesses, and communities recover. mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-...
The Laken Riley Act would cost up to $83 billion in the first 3 years to implement—more than DHS's entire annual budget.
That’s a lot of money to spend on a bill that'll cause chaos, punish legal immigrants, & undermine due process—while drawing resources away from true threats.
Enacting the Laken Riley Act as written would mean it doesn't matter if you're innocent—if you're arrested, even if you’re a child, you can be deported. This would be an all-out assault on due process, with devastating and far-reaching consequences—including for legal immigrants.
Pete Hegseth—Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Defense—has spent years denigrating women in the military and I don't buy for a second his 11th hour reversal on the topic.
I introduced a resolution with @senduckworth.bsky.social to honor the contributions of every woman servicemember.
I'm encouraged by the news of a deal for a ceasefire, and look forward to the release of hostages who have been held in Gaza for more than a year in unspeakable conditions, & an immediate surge in humanitarian aid flow to Gaza to meet the dire humanitarian needs.
My statement ⬇️
Despite my firm opposition to his nomination, I met with RFK Jr. today.
A vaccine denier should not be our nation's highest-ranking health care official. It takes no imagination to see how dangerous he would be at HHS, and it takes mountains of willful ignorance to ignore it.
