Speaking on the Senate floor to share stories of moms in my state who have been hurt by the GOP ideological agenda. #MothersDeserveBetter when it comes to their health, repro rights, & economic security. I’ll fight for them every day in Congress. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Trump is trying to strip #TitleX grants from @PPFA, which serves thousands of women in WA each year and that provides critical care for mothers like Shannon and Cindy. We need to support, not burden, providers that help women get the care they need.

#MothersDeserveBetter
President Trump has ignored how his cruel policies would hurt women and their families, like Yolany, a mother who was detained in Tacoma, WA while her 6-year-old son was sent to New York. They were kept apart for almost two months before being reunited.

I'm live on the Senate floor to speak out about the release of the January 6 tapes and their total misuse by a Fox News personality to distort and change the truth of what happened that day. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
There are so many challenges facing us as a nation today. But there is one overriding concern that I have: that people trust our democracy.

All of us—no matter our opinions or our beliefs—have a responsibility as leaders to preserve it & never allow brute force to win the day.
I was in the Capitol during the worst of the January 6 insurrection. It was a dark, violent chapter in our nation’s history. To hear a prime time Fox News host downplay that...it's infuriating.

Three weeks ago, the Republican-stacked Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade & dragged our country back 50 years.

The consequences have been harsh & swift. Today I’m leading a @HELPCmteDems hearing to shed light on the health care crisis Republicans have caused.
Republicans’ cruelty has already been devastating. States have banned abortions for any reason. Health care providers risk jail time for doing their jobs. Patients can’t get life-saving medications. Women live with deep uncertainty for their futures.
Republicans’ response to this devastation is to work to be even crueler. They're talking about:

❌A federal abortion ban
❌Putting women and providers in jail
❌Banning travel for abortion

Today, Republicans dragged this country backwards by half a century.

Republicans ripped away our rights and made this generation the first generation of American women with fewer rights than their mothers.
Republicans are forcing women to stay pregnant and give birth when they don’t want to—no matter the circumstances. They are even passing laws to jail women who get abortions and the doctors who provide them.
Right here in the Senate, it was Republicans who stacked our Supreme Court with anti-abortion justices, who blocked Democrats’ efforts to protect abortion rights, and who right now are pushing for a federal abortion ban.

LIVE: I’m on the Senate floor voicing my strong, enthusiastic support for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Judge Jackson is one of the most exceptional SCOTUS nominees I’ve ever met with. I am so excited that she’s on her way to our nation’s highest court. It’s incredibly well deserved.
It’s clear she’s got the experience, understanding of the law, a seemingly endless supply of (perhaps unwarranted) patience, and the heart, compassion, and commitment to justice needed for this role.

It should be no surprise her nomination was met with wide acclaim.

LIVE: I'm on the Senate floor to speak out against the recent wave of hateful attacks on transgender youth happening across the country.

We all have a responsibility to stand up and make clear that this isn’t right. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Republicans are targeting trans & gay students, & taking incredibly important & personal decisions away from parents & families.

Right now, it feels like far-right lawmakers are racing to pass the most extreme, most hateful bills they can think up at the expense of trans kids.
Trans kids deserve to just be kids. To play sports, to go to school, to see a doctor, to get health care.

They should be able to get the same opportunities as any other kids to learn, grow, play, and thrive—free from fear and discrimination.

The Senate is broken.

My colleagues know I am someone whose focus is always on getting things done for WA state & our country. But outdated, misused procedure is getting in the way of debate & legislation. With all our country faces right now, we’ve absolutely got to fix it.
When a single Senator can block even a debate on legislation a majority of us support or hold up the otherwise uncomplicated, run-of-the-mill confirmation of very non-controversial administration officials—just by hitting send on an email—that’s absurd.
Millions of Americans wonder why bills that pass the House only ever come to the Senate to die. It’s because a single member of this institution can shut down even the opportunity to confirm a nominee or debate legislation that a majority of this chamber supports.
