BREAKING: Kash Patel spent your tax dollars on a “VIP snorkel” around a hallowed Pearl Harbor memorial.

Women were excluded from clinical trials until 1993. It took an act of Congress to include women in medical research. Since then, we’ve been fighting to bridge the gap. This administration is taking us backward by cutting NIH funding. This Women’s Health Week shows we must keep pushing forward.

Good. This never should have been up for debate. Women in America, regardless of where they live, should have the freedom to control their bodies without any politicians or judges getting in the way. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Costs are soaring, but Republicans want to take $1 BILLION from Americans’ pockets to build a ballroom. @markwarner.bsky.social and I crunched the numbers—here are some of the many ways that money could be used to help Virginians instead:

For generations, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities have contributed to WA's cultural vibrancy, our economy, and our way of life. It’s an honor to sponsor the annual Senate Resolution marking May as AANHPI Heritage Month. www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This National Police Week, I want to thank those who protect and serve our communities. Both of my parents were police officers, so I know how important it is for our law enforcement to have our full support and the resources to do their jobs and keep us safe.

It’s been 76 days since Trump launched his illegal war in Iran, and the Administration is STILL refusing to share with Congress or the public an official legal rationale for the conflict—all while pushing for $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon. Everything about that is ridiculous.

One month ago, my bipartisan bill reauthorizing our essential innovation programs became law. With these programs reopened, small businesses in Massachusetts and across the country are once again empowered to lead America forward as innovators and job creators.

Donald Trump is trying to sell off the Chama and Carson National Forests to the highest bidder for uranium mining. New Mexicans have had ENOUGH of the federal government turning our public lands into toxic, hazardous sites that threaten families, livestock, and clean water.

Senate Republicans just moved forward with nearly 50 nominees without consent or agreement from Democrats. They’re rushing them through because they’re unqualified. Shameful.

$1.2 TRILLION could undo almost all of Trump’s Medicaid & SNAP cuts. Instead, Trump wants to build his unworkable 'Golden Dome' scheme. This is nothing more than a gift to the military industrial complex, but they know they can sell anything to Trump if they call it “golden.”

Trump's HUD Secretary sat in front of me defending Trump's $1.5 TRILLION war budget—a budget that gives more money for war and CUTS funding for housing. Instead of giving Pete Hegseth HALF A TRILLION dollars, we could build at least 1 million new homes in America.

Today, I offered an amendment that would have shut this scam down. My amendment would've prevented self-dealing by public officials — including the President & members of Congress — who own or promote digital asset companies, including crypto. Every Republican voted against it.

“Smart” glasses—dangerously dumb idea. DHS’s troubling record of using surveillance to silence protesters & target communities makes clear what this proposal really is: a tool for unchecked, wearable surveillance. DHS must immediately reverse course on this dystopian technology.

Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.

Data centers are eating up more and more of our electricity—and it’s causing chaos in the grid. Families shouldn’t have to worry if their bills are going to shoot up or if their power will shut off because a data center moves in next door. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.

Does it really inspire confidence in anyone that Trump often spends his time firing off dozens of conspiracy-related posts an hour in the middle of the night? Shouldn’t he be a little more focused on lowering costs? Ending the war?

The Trump Administration will finally release $47 of the $140 million that Congress already secured to address the Colorado River Crisis. As we face historic drought, I’ll keep demanding that Colorado receives every dollar we were promised, including for Shoshone.

I voted seven times to end Trump’s war with Iran. Senate Republicans blocked it every single time. This war is raising prices at the gas pump and at the grocery store. The American people DO NOT support it. End the war now.

Washington Republicans have a choice: burn through $1 billion of your tax dollars to pay for another one of Donald Trump’s vanity projects, or help Americans who are struggling with rising costs. In their recently released budget bill, they’ve shown where their priorities.

In an incredible gift to Big Tobacco, Trump is allowing sales of e-cigs & nicotine pouches without FDA approval. They’re enabling dangerous products to be sold for years without review, a destructive corrupt loophole to the Tobacco Control Act.
