Thank you, @murray.senate.gov & @cantwell.senate.gov, for standing up for Washington families & working to prevent millions from losing their health care.

I am voting no. This funding proposal fails to address the fundamental needs of the American people.
BREAKING: The Senate voted to end the 41-day government shutdown, setting the stage for the House to reconvene later this week to pick up the legislation and send it to President Trump’s desk.

Joined my @newdems.bsky.social colleagues for a trade & tariff roundtable to discuss how we can strengthen Washington’s economy, support our exporters, & push back against Trump’s reckless tariffs that are hurting our communities.

Italy's biggest pasta exporters plan to stop exporting their products to the US due to Trump's proposed 107% tariff on pasta.

The government funding proposal fails to address the fundamental needs of the American people. That’s why I will vote against it.

November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, & contributions of Tribal Nations.

I’m grateful for the enduring leadership & traditions of Tribes here in Washington & across our country.

Job cuts are skyrocketing to 1.1 million layoffs this year. Families are paying the price while Trump puts the wealthy first. We need policies that protect workers & grow our local economy.

Washington is home to some of the brightest minds in science, technology, engineering, & math. On STEM Day, I’m celebrating the innovation happening right here in our communities & the young people who will lead the next wave of breakthroughs.

Honored to join the Korean National Day reception in Seattle celebrating 80 years of Korea’s liberation. Our Korean American community plays an important role in strengthening the friendship between the U.S. & Korea & enriching our region’s vibrant culture. 🇺🇸 🇰🇷

Seniors shouldn’t face senseless barriers to care. We know prior authorization delays treatment & hurts patients, but the Trump administration wants to expand it in traditional Medicare. I’m fighting back with legislation to block this harmful plan.

Nancy Pelosi broke barriers & improved the lives of families across our country. As she prepares for her next chapter, her leadership will continue to inspire all of us working to move our country forward. Grateful for her decades of service & the example she’s set for so many.

Justice Sotomayor is right — only Congress has the power to tax. Trump’s tariffs are an illegal power grab that hurts American families & businesses.
November 5, 2025 at 9:55 PM
Trump’s tariffs are an illegal tax on American businesses & families that are increasing prices. The Supreme Court should follow the law & the constitution & overturn them.

Trump is refusing to comply with multiple federal court orders that require him to pay SNAP benefits to the 42 million Americans who rely on the program to keep food on the table. He is forcing families to go hungry.
November 4, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Trump’s trade policies are making beef more expensive for American families while abandoning local ranchers. We need trade policies that put our farmers & consumers first.

Today we honor Día de los Muertos, a time to remember & celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed. May this day bring comfort, connection, & joyful remembrance to all who observe.

It shouldn’t take a court order for a president to help feed families. Trump had the funds to pay SNAP benefits & chose not to. This ruling is a win for Americans & a reminder that compassion, not cruelty, should guide our government.
Judges say Trump administration must continue paying SNAP food stamp benefits during shutdown
Two federal judges on Friday said the Trump administration must tap into contingency funds to make SNAP payments during the government shutdown.

Health care premiums are rising. SNAP benefits aren’t being paid.

And House Republicans? They’re on vacation while Americans struggle to make ends meet.

Great to meet with the new University of Washington President Robert Jones to discuss federal priorities that impact higher education, research, & innovation in Washington. Excited to continue working together to ensure UW students & researchers have the tools they need to succeed.

While House Republicans are on week 5 of their paid vacation, @momsrising.org Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner & I were in DC highlighting how Republicans’ refusal to extend ACA tax credits means higher premiums for Washington families.

SNAP puts food on the table for 900,000 Washingtonians & strengthens our economy. President Trump is choosing to cut off funding for it this weekend. This cruelty must end.
Comment: Trump, GOP holding emergency SNAP funds over politics | HeraldNet.com
Even during the shutdown, emergency funds could sustain food aid. It’s just another attack on SNAP.

One month into the Republican shutdown & families are paying the price because House Republicans refuse to come back to DC & do their jobs.
