The 14th Amendment could not be more clear: if you are born in America, you are a U.S. citizen. Doesn't matter what Trump thinks. He can't rewrite our Constitution on his own.

I don't know how Speaker Johnson can say that with a straight face when the Big Ugly Bill slashed Medicaid, SNAP, and so many other programs working Americans rely on to get by. Their bill was billionaires first and working people last.

Growing up, there weren’t so many options for women to play sports competitively. My mom even had to play on a men’s hockey team—there was no women’s team. The amazing @seattletorrent.bsky.social players are inspiring so many young girls—and it makes such a big difference. Go Torrent!

Conversion therapy is child abuse. It should be banned nationwide—and I have a bill to do just that. I’m not going to stop fighting for a world where every person, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, can live with dignity and without fear.

Ports are the engine of our economy in WA state. So when federal law put us at a disadvantage, I pushed to change the law & deliver a solution. Today I was at the @portofseattle.bsky.social to highlight the historic federal funding I secured to support our ports, the local economy, and job growth.

You know what would help? A Secretary of Education who actually cares about making sure all students get a quality public education rather than someone dismantling our education system from the inside out.

You paying more at the pump is a direct result of Trump's reckless war of choice with Iran. Trump needs to end this war and actually try to live up to his promise of lower prices at home. NO war with Iran.

In Pierce County with Executive Mello to discuss funding I secured to expand Tacoma-Pierce Co. Public Health's mobile medical services. Trump tried to cut federal funding to help our states fight the addiction crisis by $1B. I stopped him. This is not the time to cut back on life-saving resources.

Trump and Republicans want more money for a war with no justification. They want more money for lawless and violent mass deportations. All paid for by cutting even more health care for American citizens. I'll do everything I can to stop them.

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed funding for TSA four days ago. House Republicans refused to even vote on it. Speaker Johnson, this is on you—stop holding TSA funding HOSTAGE.
- PM
Gas prices continue to soar because of Trump’s reckless war with Iran. The American people didn’t ask for this—and most can’t afford it. NO war with Iran.
- PM
Republicans don't seem too concerned about our national deficit now that the U.S. is spending billions on Trump's war of choice with Iran. Why is it that when it comes to health care, we can't afford it—but when it comes to a war with no clear objective, we suddenly have the cash?

THANK YOU to the patriots who came out to say there are NO KINGS in the USA! ❌👑 America VOTES this November. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚈 Washington state's newest addition to public transit: a train running over a floating bridge! 🚈 I have fought for @sound-transit.bsky.social since its earliest days and seeing the Crosslake Connection finally open was AWESOME! THIS is why I'll keep fighting to invest in public transit! 🚉

The Senate passed a bill to fund all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And we did it with the unanimous consent of ALL 100 SENATORS. Speaker Johnson refused to vote on this bill and chose to continue holding TSA hostage and to continue Trump's chaos.

After years of wondering and people asking, "When is light rail going to come to Bellevue?" We have our answer: about every 8 minutes! 🎉🚈 You can now ride the world's first train on a floating bridge, and that is pretty darn cool.

Republicans will talk all day long about their voter suppression bill and fake voter fraud—but they won't say a thing about how they'll actually lower your costs.
- PM
No new money for ICE and Border Patrol without reform. This isn't complicated & Democrats could not have been clearer. The Senate unanimously approved funding for TSA, our Coast Guard, and disaster relief—the House needs to pass this bill TODAY. It's time to end Trump's chaos.

NEW BILL 🚨 I introduced new legislation to invest in preventing youth homelessness and it’s got serious bipartisan support. Let’s commit to ensuring that every kid in America has a safe place to call home.

- PM
BREAKING: Republicans have relented to Democratic demands to fund the rest of DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol. No more holding TSA hostage. No blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. We need real reforms & accountability. I'll keep fighting for exactly that.

Instead of actually helping students, Trump & his billionaire Secretary of Education are lighting millions of taxpayer dollars on fire with these stunts. How about instead of abolishing the Department of Education, we just make sure kids can read at grade level?

Trump is spending billions of YOUR taxpayer dollars on a war of choice with Iran — and it's driving up the costs of everything from gas to groceries. Trump's response to families struggling to afford the high prices? "It didn't matter to me." Despicable.

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

Today is March 26th, Equal Pay Day. It marks just how far into this year women must work just to make what men made the previous year. Pennies per day add up to life-changing amounts. It's time we pass my Paycheck Fairness Act and help end the wage gap.
- PM
Government can do good things to make life better for our families—that's why @warren.senate.gov and I are starting the Child Care for America working group here in Congress. We're going to deliver affordable, high-quality child care accessible for EVERY working family.

Residents of Washington state. Students. Married women. Seniors. Rural families. Millions of people will have to jump through hoops & pay more to vote under Trump's SAVE America Act. I will not let Republicans pass their scam anti-voter bill.

BREAKING: Democrats tried to overturn Trump's near-total abortion ban at the VA. Republicans blocked it. Republicans don't think veterans who are survivors of rape or incest deserve to get the abortion care they need. It's cruel—and I'll keep fighting back.

BREAKING: For the 11th time, Republicans have blocked Democrats from paying TSA. Republicans have been given ELEVEN chances to send TSA agents their paychecks, but they refuse.
- PM
The SAVE America Act is a disaster for democracy and I'm not going let it get passed into law. Are we seriously going to ask rural seniors to buy a $165 passport and drive miles and miles to register to vote in person?
- PM
The most immediate threat to Social Security is Donald Trump. From pushing out Social Security workers, worse customer service, and more, Trump is creating new problems and making it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get their benefits.

Americans want lower costs, not a costly war of choice with Iran. NO war with Iran.

Trump is holding TSA pay hostage all to try to disenfranchise tens of millions of American citizens over delusions of voter fraud. Rein in ICE. Pay TSA. NO to the SAVE Trump Act.
- PM
Democrats are more than ready to get TSA paychecks out the door NOW—we have been for weeks. But the only way we're going to get out of this mess is if we know Trump, who apparently decides how Republican Senators vote, is on the same page.
- PM
I just voted to STOP Trump's war of choice with Iran. We're 25 days in, and this war has cost us American lives, billions in taxpayer dollars, and is threatening a global recession. For what? NO war with Iran.
- PM
Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act isn't about voter fraud. It's about making it harder and more expensive for people to vote. @brennancenter.org's Eliza Sweren-Becker lays out why this garbage bill is anti-democracy.

TSA agents don’t need ICE officers hovering over their shoulders and intimidating travelers—they need to get paid! Democrats have tried to pay TSA 8 times. Republicans have blocked it every time.

I’m fighting to end AI prior authorization. This is just a backdoor effort by the Trump administration to cut Medicare benefits by making providers ask AI before you can get the care you need.

Trump promised no new wars and lower prices, and Americans are seeing the exact opposite. Gas prices and energy costs won't stabilize at the drop of a hat. The best time to end this was yesterday. The next best time is NOW. No war with Iran. Lower prices.

I voted NO on Senator Mullin's nomination to lead DHS. We need a Secretary who can clean up the mess that Noem left, rein in the out-of-control masked federal agents, and focus on real accountability & transparency. That's not Mullin.

Since the day the Affordable Care Act was signed into law 16 years ago today, Republicans have been hellbent on ripping away the protections it guarantees. For Republicans, there's always money for war, never for your health care.

Trump's war with Iran will cost the average family an extra $740 on gas. Between this reckless war, soaring health care costs, and rising grocery prices, Trump has made nearly everything more expensive for working families while shoveling tax breaks to his billionaire friends.

Three weeks in and Trump STILL has no strategy for his dangerous war with Iran, no endgame, and no clear directive. Trump’s war of choice is costing YOU billions while prices skyrocket at the pump and at the store. NO war with Iran.
- PM
The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.
video
- PM
REMINDER: Yesterday, 49 Senate Republicans voted AGAINST funding TSA. They are REFUSING to pay TSA agents unless they get to shovel more money at ICE with no reforms.
- PM
DHS desperately needs a leader who is focused on accountability & transparency—and who will make the changes necessary to restore trust in the agency on everything from the distribution of disaster aid to immigration enforcement. That’s not Senator Mullin. I will vote NO to advance his nomination.
- PM
BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers. Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.
- PM
Oh yeah, I’m sure the next thing the American people want after long lines at TSA is to get wrongfully detained, beat up, and harassed by ICE. No blank check for ICE. We need reform & accountability. In the meantime, how about you tell Republicans to just vote to pay TSA.

Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans will have the chance to FINALLY join Democrats and pass our bill to pay TSA workers. Every Senator will be on the record. Will Republicans seriously block TSA pay, again?
- PM
ICE and CBP's recklessness reaches far beyond the tragic deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. There have been numerous other instances of ICE and CBP shooting CITIZENS. I am demanding commonsense reforms and accountability for ICE and Border Patrol. WATCH ⬇️

Voter fraud is already illegal. And incredibly rare. The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. This isn't a widespread issue like Republicans want you to think—they just want to appease the election-denier in the Oval Office.
