My thoughts and prayers are with the Longview community as recovery efforts continue. It's a long road ahead, but I will do everything possible to support Longview.

Do my Republican colleagues also "love" inflation? I assume so since they continue to vote to protect Trump's tariffs and to continue Trump's war with Iran.

Trump and Republicans can lie but the numbers don't. Inflation is UP and it's a direct result of Trump's tariffs and war with Iran.

AI has no business denying doctor-recommended procedures. I am leading the Democratic effort to shut down WISeR—Trump's backdoor scheme to privatize Medicare. We need to end AI prior authorization NOW.

Todd Blanche, the President's former personal lawyer, is a corrupt grifter who has proven he will always put Trump above the law. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that. I'm voting NO. We should not let these crooks run the DOJ like a mob family.

Trump doesn't care about how painful and expensive he is making your life. He promised no new wars and lower costs. He BROKE that promise—and he doesn't care. We need to make sure absolutely everyone knows it.

Bill Pulte is a political hack and lapdog for the President. He will do or say anything Trump wants, making him nothing short of a threat to American national security. The stakes are real. Republicans should join us in insisting a serious intelligence official replace Pulte.

Top Republicans like Scott Bessent have pushed for privatizing Social Security. Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, said Social Security is a "Ponzi Scheme." The fight to protect Social Security for all Americans is being fought RIGHT NOW—it's time to STAND UP for Social Security.

It is infuriating just how little Trump cares about the average American family. He is singlehandedly driving up costs through his reckless war of choice with Iran and stupid tariffs. Just remember: Republicans could stop Trump anytime—they're choosing not to.

Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, has called Social Security a "Ponzi Scheme." Now, after passing the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, Speaker Johnson is targeting Social Security & Medicare. All after blowing up the debt to give billionaires tax breaks they don't need.

Let's be clear about what happened: DOGE cut the programs and staff that tracked dangerous outbreaks like screwworm. So this has nothing to do with Joe Biden, but Trump and DOGE definitely screwed our cattle industry.

I told Marco Rubio, to his face, what a dangerous failure his leadership has been: Trump has waged a reckless war and eviscerated American leadership around the world. Oh, but don’t worry—Trump’s face will be on U.S. passports. It's a disgrace.

Senate Democrats forced votes to BAN any kind of slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists. Republicans killed those efforts out of fealty to Trump. Now, Trump is doubling down on giving YOUR tax dollars to convicted cop beaters.

He went from orange to red. While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous. The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.

Participating in a violent insurrection should be a good enough reason for any job not to hire someone. Yet, under Trump, you can be rewarded with a job at the Pentagon. This is a CLEAR threat to our national security—and this appointment should not even be REMOTELY acceptable.

Trump's efforts to try to ban vote by mail are all part of his scheme to undermine our free and fair elections–and it’s going to take all of We the People to make sure he never succeeds.

Abortion bans are putting women's lives in danger, and it's not by accident. This is a situation Republicans explicitly manufactured simply because they believe they should decide what a woman does with her body, no matter the consequences. We've got to keep fighting back.

Senate Republicans are blindly confirming unqualified, MAGA loyalists to lifetime appointments on our federal bench and hoping you won't notice. The only way we can stop this partisan takeover of our courts is with a Democratic Senate majority.

The Trump administration is politicizing federal funding in a truly obscene and unforgivable way & robbing communities of funding they're owed. Republicans should work with Democrats to stop this plan in its tracks.

Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE—and one of the most studied medications we have. FDA opening a new study has nothing to do with science and everything to do with advancing the anti-abortion movement's agenda to control women's bodies and lives.

Trump's DHS thinks it can avoid answering for the inhumane conditions and rising death toll of its detainees by no longer tracking it. Absolutely not. DHS has something to hide and Members of Congress must fight for transparency & accountability.

Federal agents killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. Tear-gassed and brutalized families. Detained thousands of children and pregnant women. How do Republicans respond? At nearly 5AM they passed $70 billion more for ICE, no questions. No reforms. No accountability.
- PM
Instead of doing ANYTHING to help families afford the health care or groceries, Republicans forced a marathon voting session to send ICE a $70 billion check. No reforms, zero accountability, and they rolled over for Trump—again. Make sure everyone knows it.

It’s past 4 AM and the Senate is still voting. Why? Because Republicans want to cut ICE another $70 billion check. They found money for Stephen Miller, but there’s nothing to make health care more affordable.
- PM
It’s past midnight and Republicans are fighting to pass $70 billion for ICE—but they can't find a single cent to make health care more affordable. All while Trump's war and tariffs send prices surging. That's the Republican agenda: Drive costs higher. Do nothing for families.
- PM
In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE. After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms. I'm voting NO.
- PM
Republicans should work with Democrats to ban Trump's criminal slush fund. In law. Today. Why won't they? Because the President has explicitly said he LOVES it—and Republicans are more than willing to cut checks to violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars.

Back in March, Rubio said this war would end in "weeks, not months." Yet, here we are, 4 months later. Hundreds of troops injured or killed. Billions of dollars set on fire for a war Americans do NOT support.

Republicans voted down an amendment to block Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund for violent insurrectionists. They're choosing to bend the knee to this corrupt President who wants to pay off cop beaters—all while Trump & Republicans won't spend a cent to lower health care costs.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate. Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms. A disgrace.
- PM
Trump and Stephen Miller built up a paramilitary force at DHS that they essentially promised immunity, and set it loose on American communities. I'm not going to write a blank check for a federal agency that refuses to distinguish between American citizens and violent criminals.

I'll take my wins where I can get 'em! My bill with @repricklarsen.bsky.social to restore marine habitats in the Northwest Straits just passed the House! I'll keep working to get it through the Senate so we can keep protecting marine species & growing WA state's outdoor recreation economy! 🌊🛶🌲

It's been two weeks since I connected Trump's Acting Attorney General with Epstein survivors and they haven't heard a peep from the DOJ. That's disgraceful. Todd Blanche said he'd meet with them—and I will not let him off the hook. Epstein survivors deserve justice.

I trust Trump about as far as I could throw him. Congress needs to BAN any kind of corrupt slush fund like this from EVER existing. A wink and a nod won't cut it—we need to ban it by LAW.

Everyone should be able to get affordable health care close to home. But after Trump and Republicans passed the largest health care cuts in American history and refused to extend the ACA tax credits, rural communities are being hit the hardest. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/06/01/w...

DHS is on track to break last year's record for people dying in its custody. ICE agents tear gassed a U.S. Senator last week. I'm not writing a blank check to an agency that is engaged in nonstop brutality and abuses of power.

Bill Pulte is a proven crook who will target anyone Trump considers an enemy. He isn't qualified for his current job, and he would pose an actual threat to our national security as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Every Senator should demand he be fired immediately.

Part of why people are spending more is because Trump is making everything more expensive. In the face of Trump's tariffs, his war & rising gas prices, and the rampant government corruption, I think it's safe to say most people are NOT so optimistic.

The American people should understand that Trump is spending massive taxpayer resources to needlessly detain families who pose no threat, including CHILDREN. This is disgusting, inhumane, and must stop immediately.

No one should assume Trump will voluntarily put an end to his $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists. So let's put it to a vote—to bar any President from EVER putting taxpayer money toward a crooked scheme like this again. Put every Senator on the record.

On a whim, Trump decided FEMA should be abolished—so Kristi Noem cut staff, resources, and funding to run it to the ground. It worked, and now we're less prepared for disaster than we've ever been thanks to their thoughtless and dangerous policies.

This is what happens when you let the opinions of anti-abortion extremists into the doctor's office. They don't care that medication abortion is THE BEST standard of care for miscarriages. All they care about is controlling women's bodies, no matter the outcome.

So, in an effort to "punish" Democratic cities, Trump wants to tank our economy even further. Halting international flights into some of the busiest hubs in the country is not just idiotic, it would spell economic disaster for the ENTIRE country.
