I introduced bipartisan legislation to extend @CDCgov's important work through the SUPPORT Act to address the root causes of the opioid crisis and make sure pregnant women, mothers, and families have the care and treatment necessary to treat addiction.

55 cents. That's how much Native American women make on average compared to non-Hispanic white men—and it’s the largest wage gap in the country. We've got to fix this. We've got to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. #NativeWomensEqualPayDay

30 years ago we passed the Brady Act & last year we signed new gun safety legislation into law—but there's still more to do as gun violence continues to tear families apart. I'll keep working for commonsense gun safety protections to help build safer communities & save lives.

It was great to see folks from the National Alliance on Mental Illness Washington today. I'm so grateful for their advocacy and critical work to connect people with the mental health resources and support they need.

In Nevada, it can cost more to send your kids to child care than it does to send them to college — it's outrageous! The lack of resources for child care in this country hurts our children, our families, and our economy. We must work to ensure access to child care now.

There’s no way around it: America has a child care crisis. It’s time to invest in affordable child care to help Michigan families. twitter.com/PattyMurray/st…

In September, child care funding I helped pass expired, leaving families at risk of losing affordable care. I’m on the Senate floor to share stories from families and providers and discuss the need to renew this funding to help providers stay open. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Every American family deserves access to affordable child care. I’m heading to the Senate floor soon to urge my colleagues to support President Biden’s $16 billion request for child care stabilization grants. Tune in here ⬇️ senate.gov/legislative/fl…

For every parent, child care is a “do it now” problem, not a “do it later” problem. Congress needs to treat it the same way. Urgent. Essential. RT if you agree.

As I've said many times before: child care is an urgent, economic priority and Congress needs to take action. I'm leading a group of Senate Democrats on the floor to once again make the case. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

2023 was another year full of Republican attacks on women's ability to make their own health care decisions. But I'm fighting back and together we WILL restore Roe. RT if you're with me. #wrapped2023

House GOP needs to remember the toplines they passed into law, come to the negotiating table, & leave the partisanship & poison pill riders at the door so we can pass reasonable, bipartisan funding bills that address the challenges around the world & needs of families at home.

My team visited Fairchild Air Force Base & saw homes with cracked foundations, siding falling off, roofs in need of replacement, & more. Renovations have got to move forward to ensure our servicemembers & their families have good, quality housing. spokesman.com/stories/2023/n…

I'm laser-focused on passing supplemental funding for Ukraine, Israel, and our allies in the Indo-Pacific, and to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Our nation's leadership—and long-term security—is on the line. There's overwhelming bipartisan support & no reason for delay.

Make no mistake: the national abortion ban Republicans are fighting for would bring the suffering these women were forced to endure to women in every state in America. Democrats will fight like hell to stop them and restore Roe.

Today the brave women filing suit in Zurawski v Texas had their case heard by the Texas Supreme Court—challenging the unspeakable cruelty of Texas’s abortion ban that has forced women with dangerous pregnancy complications to wait until they are on the brink of death for care. twitter.com/ReproRights/st…

Gun violence has ripped apart far too many families and communities. It's past time this epidemic is recognized as the serious public health crisis it is and that Congress passes commonsense gun safety legislation. twitter.com/JudiciaryDems/…

Republicans didn't stop fighting to take away reproductive freedom when Roe v. Wade was struck down—far from it. They are coming after birth control, Plan B, the right to travel, & more. We need all hands on deck to speak out & stop the GOP's anti-woman crusade.

The leader of the Republican party wants to rip coverage away from 40 million Americans, ending pre-existing protections for over 100 million, and sending costs skyrocketing. While the GOP fights to repeal the ACA, Democrats will work to protect health care and lower costs. twitter.com/sahilkapur/sta…

My heart goes out to the three Palestinian students who were viciously attacked & their families. There needs to be a full investigation and the perpetrator must be held fully accountable & we must all make clear that there is no place for hate in America. vermontpublic.org/local-news/202…

A clean energy economy is essential to addressing the climate crisis and building a better future for the next generation. We've made important progress over the past two years to speed the transition to clean energy, but we've got to keep up this critical work.

Without support, child care providers are staring down some impossible decisions— laying off staff, cutting child care slots, raising prices for families, or even shutting their doors. This is a huge problem not just for working parents, but for businesses, and our economy.

Small businesses are at the center of so many of our communities and are the backbone of our economy. I hope folks can get out there and #ShopSmall today to support the small businesses that you love!

Republican politicians think they know better when it comes to a woman's body and health. They're wrong. Women have got to be able to make their own health care decisions about their bodies, families, and futures—and I'll keep fighting until this is the reality.

Exciting news: Hurricane Ridge is back open starting TODAY! I'm grateful for the dedicated @OlympicNP employees & partners making it possible for folks to enjoy the winter season on the ridge & I'll keep fighting for federal funds to rebuild the Day Lodge. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing everyone in Washington state a wonderful day spent with family and loved ones.

Each month, 70 women are shot & killed by an intimate partner. I introduced a bill to strengthen current laws by restricting those under emergency domestic violence restraining orders from purchasing or possessing a firearm. This is a critical step we can take now to save lives.

In just 2 years, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has delivered nearly $8 billion in funding to WA state to expand high-speed internet, clean water, & public transit, massively upgrade our basic infrastructure, & more. It's brought real improvements to every corner of our state.

RT if you agree: we need to restore Roe v. Wade and the right to abortion for all women, no matter where they live.

The financial aid process has long been too complicated and cumbersome—but the reforms & new FAFSA form, which I negotiated & got signed into law, will make a big difference for students and families. cnbc.com/2023/11/15/1po…
