I was on the Olympic Peninsula to make it absolutely clear: public lands should stay in public hands! Trump wants to keep cutting funding for our Forest Service and National Parks, and I won't let him.

Trump’s senseless trade war is nothing short of economic arson—no business can plan around Trump’s unpredictable tariffs, American credibility is shot, and costs are up. Republicans are afraid to stand up to Trump, but Democrats aren't. Stop Trump's tariffs NOW!

Red card holders are Forest Service staff with training and experience to help fight wildfires outside of their full-time jobs. They are the backbone of any wildfire response. Trump pushed out and fired THOUSANDS of them. Save the Forest Service. Save our forests.

This is sick and twisted beyond measure. But America is a democracy, and we choose the direction of our country when we use our voice and our VOTES. Together, we can ALL fight to END Trump's inhumane mass deportation agenda.

Republicans and Trump claiming ICE is going after violent criminals is an outright lie, and the numbers prove it. 800 people a day were arrested last month with NO criminal record. We can force a change using our voices and our VOTES.

Speak up NOW to help SAVE Head Start. Trump is pushing a new rule that would shred basic standards that keep kids safe and advance their education. It's not final yet, so it's more important than ever that everyone speak out and fight back.

Mifepristone is safe and effective—and has been widely used for over 30 years. In fact, it’s safer than viagra. But Trump officials want to rip away access to medication abortion in ALL 50 states. It was never about states’ rights—it was ALWAYS about controlling women.
- PM
If you know someone under 30, they need to hear this: the future of Social Security is on the line. Democrats have ideas to save Social Security so future generations can retire with something to show for it. Meanwhile, top Republicans think Social Security is a “Ponzi Scheme.”

Did you know Trump wants to cut public health work at the CDC even MORE? His budget would make bigger cuts to programs that help stop global outbreaks at a time when we need them most.

Trump can waste his time renaming Lake Ontario & other bodies of water all he wants, but here are the facts: Trump started this trade war with Canada, and his tariffs are raising prices for working families.

I stopped by CHAS Health's new learning institute in Spokane to hear about how they stepped up during the recent fires. Proud to have secured funding to help launch this space, and I’ll keep working to invest in Spokane’s health infrastructure and emergency responders.

Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Republicans' studies and reviews are not based on science. They are political tactics to help reach their end goal: to ban abortion nationwide, including medication abortion. We all need to speak out to PROTECT access to mifepristone.

I was in Spokane today to hear directly from people on the ground—from firefighters to families—about what they need in the wake of the recent wildfires. It's going to take time, but I will do everything I can to get this community the federal support they need to rebuild.

I won't let the unacceptable conditions on the USS Lincoln & elsewhere go without answers & accountability. Our servicemembers put their lives on the line for our country; they deserve better, and they were promised better. I'm demanding an immediate independent investigation.

My message to Trump: hands off our public lands. Without the Roadless Rule, 2 million acres of forest in WA state alone will be unprotected and up for grabs to Trump's highest bidder. This is outrageous, and I will do everything I can to fight back.

If you don't get a tax write-off for your private jet, Trump doesn't care about you. How do I know? At every turn, Trump has helped his billionaire friends get richer and made working families foot the bill.

Pete Hegseth’s pastor doesn’t believe women should have the right to vote. Seriously. That’s how extreme this administration really is. Your voice and your vote matter. Use it to help build a better future for our kids, families, and communities.

Americans are DYING from measles—a preventable disease—because Trump and RFK Jr. have decimated trust in vaccines. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR: vaccines are SAFE and EFFECTIVE. VACCINES SAVE LIVES!

States decide how to run our elections, NOT Trump. We'll keep fighting Trump’s corrupt & unconstitutional voter suppression tactics at every turn. In Washington state, we've been voting by mail for decades—and our elections are free, fair, and SECURE. We'll KEEP voting by mail.

Canada didn't start this trade war—Trump did. Trump's tariffs are a tax and you're paying the bill for his pointless and embarrassing tantrum. And just a reminder: Republicans could vote with us to BLOCK Trump's tariffs and bring down costs—they REFUSE.
- PM
Trump is letting taxpayer money meant for our kids' schools go to waste—all so he can claim the Department of Education doesn't work. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse! We ALL need to speak out to protect our kids' education.

REMINDER: Premiums are more expensive than ever because Republicans BLOCKED Democratic health care bills to lower costs.

Trump and Republicans think it’s ok for kids to go hungry if it means their billionaire friends get richer. It’s sick—and I’ll keep fighting to reverse these cruel cuts to SNAP.

Under RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz's leadership, Medicare rolled out a pilot program that allows AI companies to profit from denying seniors their health care. They are literally incentivized to RIP health care away from seniors. I’m fighting to END this program.

Dump Trump’s tariffs. Rebuild the American-Canadian partnership. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
- PM
Canada is NOT the 51st state. Trump owes our friends and neighbors an apology for nearly 2 years of his boorish insults and jeers. Canada IS Washington state’s biggest trading partner and our country’s closest ally. Dump Trump’s tariffs. NO TRADE WAR. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
- PM
Let’s be clear about who pays a 50% tariff on Canada: American businesses. American families. Costs are already too high thanks to Trump’s war and OTHER tariffs—and Trump just made them HIGHER. A tariff is a tax WE pay. STOP TRUMP’S TARIFFS.

I'm calling Republicans' bluff on whether they ACTUALLY support IVF like they claim to.

REMINDER: The single biggest driver of our national debt for the last 25 YEARS have been Republican-led tax cuts.

Miscarriage is not a crime. Abortion is a basic medical procedure. Legalize abortion rights in ALL 50 states.
- PM
Trump and Republicans want to take every federal grant hostage and use your tax dollars to reward Trump’s friends. Democrats fought back and blocked this plan for now, and you can bet I will keep working to stop this corrupt heist.

Pete Hegseth is stripping women’s roles in the military and stalling women servicemembers’ promotions. He is completely detached from reality. I helped introduce legislation to make it clear: servicemembers should be evaluated on merit-based standards, not their gender.

From illegally impounding money for Head Start to firing staff & closing offices overnight, Trump has made clear he is coming after America's kids. No way. Time for all of us to SPEAK UP and SAVE Head Start.

Heidi Overton is a far-right, anti-abortion extremist who has no business leading the FDA. The American people deserve someone who will put science and facts FIRST, not another Trump sycophant who will make it their mission to attack medication abortion. I will vote NO.

Reaching a deal to delay the 50% tariffs on Canada is good, but know what's better? Not threatening our closest ally with these idiotic policies that drive up YOUR costs just because Trump wants to feel like a big man. Way past time to permanently BLOCK these tariffs.

From food and water shortages to mental health crises and more, the reported conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln are absolutely unacceptable. Our servicemembers deserve so much better. I'm demanding answers and accountability from Secretary Hegseth.

There is no get-rich-quick scheme Trump won't try. The latest? Selling early access to his posts on Truth Social. If this sounds like BLATANT CORRUPTION—that’s because IT IS. We cannot let this crooked money grab go unanswered. I will push for accountability.

Social Security isn't a "Ponzi scheme." It's YOUR money. SAVE Social Security.

Republicans delivered $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid last year. They also delivered $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1%. That's not a coincidence.

Grateful for the 40 years of partnerships that have helped conserve and protect the Columbia River Gorge. Making our public lands a priority is good for our planet, communities, and the local economy–and I will always fight to preserve WA state’s natural beauty.

This was actual, real-life debate during the Texas Republican convention before banning IVF became part of its official party platform. Republicans are not being coy about what their end game is—they are literally shouting it out loud. L We need to believe them, and be ready to fight back.

Homeless and foster youth face barriers most kids will never encounter applying to college. We should make it easier, not harder, for these kids. I have a bipartisan bill to make sure homeless & foster youth get the hand up they deserve.

RFK Jr. has badly eroded trust in our public health system, undermined science, and put conspiracy theories before facts. He should RESIGN or be FIRED immediately.

How about instead of a $1.5 trillion war budget, we make sure every working family in America can afford child care?

THIS is the Social Security election. Republicans are calling the program a scam. Democrats are fighting to strengthen the program and make sure it's around for generations to come. Senators elected this fall WILL decide the future of Social Security.

This is all by design. Trump and McMahon cut staff and are dismantling the Department of Education without giving a second thought to the students they will hurt or leave behind. We can stop this. We can fight back. And eventually we will rebuild the Department of Education.

Trump is using YOUR tax dollars to fly his cabinet around in new luxurious private jets. There's even one with a bed, shower, and minibar! There must be accountability.

The Mann-Grandstaff VA is so critical for the entire region. I've been in constant contact with VA and am glad to see this progress. THANK YOU especially to the VA workers who are making this possible, even as many were affected by the fires themselves.

Some good news for Spokane. It's important that so many thousands of families can return home, but please continue to keep Spokane in your thoughts. Many won't have a home to return to & will need support to rebuild. I promise to be there every step of the way to support Spokane's recovery.
