I heard from the WA State Public School Employees Union who are worried what Trump slashing the Dept. of Education will mean for their students and schools.
I will ALWAYS stand up for teachers and fight for critical resources for students.

I joined @wyden.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, & West Coast Ports to sound the alarm on how Trump’s inane tariffs will mean empty shelves, painful layoffs, and a tax increase on every American.
Congress needs to take the matches away from the President who is setting fire to the economy.
I just voted NO to advance Frank Bisignano's nomination to lead the Social Security Administration.
NO SENATOR should vote to confirm someone who will enable Trump & Elon to DECIMATE SSA and make it harder for Americans to get the benefits they've paid into their entire careers.
Trump's immigration crackdown isn't just disappearing innocent people, it is undermining the right to free speech.
It seems like if you are an immigrant, even one here legally, who disagrees with the President, your rights are gone. It's fundamentally un-American.
BREAKING: Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a resolution to end Trump's tariffs.
Despite how these tariffs are:
- crushing American small businesses,
- will force a massive tax INCREASE on everyone,
- and are pushing the country toward a painful recession.
Trump is sending people off to a torture prison in El Salvador with absolutely NO due process & NO transparency.
There are many people who were here legally, who have no criminal record, whose families have no idea if they're even alive.
It's barbaric, and it's unconstitutional.
Today my bill to reauthorize @nwstraits.bsky.social passed through Committee!
NW Straits is close to my heart—they do critical work to protect our marine resources in WA state, which is crucial for our economy and way of life.
I'll keep pushing to get this bill across the finish line.
WATCH.
*This* is why we invest in medical research—and why we cannot let Trump single-handedly rip away the treatments—or the hope—that has made Charlie’s pediatric cancer recovery possible.
Trump and Musk want to make the biggest cut to our medical research in NIH history.
That'll mean sick kids not getting the treatment they need, families losing hope of cures for their loved ones, and our nation's progress being catapulted backwards.
Sometimes, economic policy can be complicated, but right now, it's a plain matter of fact that Trump alone is pushing this country toward a recession.
Trump's tariffs are a tax on everyone—they'll lead to bare shelves and painful layoffs.
Republicans must end this trade war.
Trump is targeting trans Americans and attacking all LGBTQ+ people, using the full force of government. That's wrong.
And that's why it's more important than ever to fight for equal protection under the law. Nothing more, nothing less. Proud to help reintroduce the #EqualityAct.
Republicans are full-speed ahead on their budget plan to deliver $5.3 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires—at the same time they're promising that Medicaid is safe from cuts.
The truth is, Republicans can't keep both of these promises.
We're 100 days into the most corrupt administration in U.S. History.
All we have to show for it is a chaotic trade war, billions in frozen funding, & a promise of giant tax cuts for billionaires—but no matter what day we're on, I'm fighting back with everything I've got.
Donald Trump has led an unprecedented assault on our laws to block funding for cancer research, disaster relief, infrastructure projects, & much more.
On his 100th day in office, @delauro.house.gov & I are shining a spotlight on how Trump's freeze is hurting every community in America.
Trump & Elon are literally firing thousands of our brightest & most committed young people & seniors that are serving communities across the country.
They do everything from helping at local food banks to responding to natural disasters. Trump needs to restore this funding ASAP.
I traveled all over WA state last week—from Yakima to Vancouver to Blaine—& everywhere I went, I heard about how Trump's trade war is already hurting businesses, families, & our economy.
It’s time for Republicans to join with Democrats and END this reckless trade war.
Trump’s chaotic tariffs are a five-alarm fire for small businesses.
How can you plan for the future if one tweet from Trump could cause your prices to skyrocket? This is a DISASTER for businesses, consumers, and our trade relationships around the world.
Trump is terminating grants for a program that helps advocate for children who have been the victims of abuse and neglect.
Is that the Republican Party's platform now? Abandon child victims of crime to make room to cut taxes for billionaires?
To keep up their lies about Social Security, Musk and DOGE are wrongly marking people dead who are very much alive.
It's stopping their car payments, their credit, & an already overworked staff has to fix it.
This is either unacceptable incompetence or malicious sabotage.
