Tonight I sent a letter to Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz requesting he call FCC Chair Brendan Carr to testify before the committee following Carr's threats to use the regulatory power of the FCC to compel ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel. (1/2)

In a follow-up letter to Secretary of State Rubio, I am demanding answers about two violent attacks on American citizens in the West Bank, including the fatal shooting of UW student Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi.
Small businesses deserve stability and certainty, and I want to fight every day until they get it. The Supreme Court must end these tariffs. The President must follow the law. Small businesses must be repaid for the illegal tariffs.

Sanctions include blocking U.S. visas and freezing assets. (2/2)
Pleased to join @booker.senate.gov on his bill that aims to deter rising destabilizing violence against innocent civilians in the West Bank.
It would authorize sanctions against those who commit violent acts undermining peace, security, and stability. (1/2)
We can't afford to go back to the situation we had before the ACA, when 1 of every 7 Americans didn't have health insurance.
We can't afford the wave of uncompensated care costs that will hit hospitals and eventually, all of us.
Let's quickly act to extend the ACA tax credits.
I am introducing an amendment calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the creation of a multinational force to protect delivery of humanitarian aid and support any final diplomatic two-state solution.
Republican policies making it harder for us to hold down health care costs should stop. The cost of health care has risen 4.2% in the last six months, and Americans are facing higher bills in general.
The Trump administration is ignoring these real-life impacts on families.

FCC Chair Carr has no authority to police speech he or the President dislike—especially with a $6.2B merger pending before the FCC.
Threatening broadcast licenses to silence critics is censorship, not public service. #FreePress #FCC #FirstAmendment
Today I'm joining small business owners from across the country on the steps of the Supreme Court to push back against President Trump's tariffs. WATCH LIVE:

I look forward to October 15th when tank waste will be removed, treated, and safely stored for disposal for the first time in the decades-long effort to clean up Hanford. (2/2)
The Department of Energy heard our history lesson and made the right decision to protect 3,000 jobs and support the over 20-year, $24 billion investment we made to protect the Columbia River and Tri-Cities community from radioactive tank waste. (1/2)

Thank goodness the West Coast Health Alliance today said adults over 65 should receive COVID-19 shots, creating more certainty that hopefully insurers will follow. (3/3)
The end result is we are seeing a rise in measles across the U.S. where it once was considered eliminated, and reporting shows some seniors are being denied access to COVID shots when they used to be free. (2/3)
Dr. Monarez confirmed today what we already knew: Secretary Kennedy was trying to ‘replace evidence with ideology.’ Instead of basing childhood vaccine standards on hundreds of years of scientific evidence, he wants to use pseudoscience. (1/2)
America’s public health system is headed to a “very dangerous place” with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his team of anti-vaccine advisers in charge, fired Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chief Susan Monarez warned senators on Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/4gwkAEf

Reliable, affordable clean energy helps drive WA's economy and is a big reason so many innovative companies choose to locate and hire in our state.
Across the U.S., clean energy is making our air and water cleaner, and creating new, high-wage jobs. #CleanEnergyWeek
I recently met with this group of young adults representing the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. The Clubs help thousands of kids across WA stay safe, get nutritious meals, and find jobs each year.
Yesterday, we were told to brace ourselves for higher health insurance premiums over the next year. The trade and budget policies of this Administration are driving this economy in the wrong direction. We need to change course. #Trumpflation (3/3)
Here’s what that breaks down to for the increasingly squeezed family: In the last 12 months, food is up 3.2 percent; electricity is up 6.2 percent; used cars and trucks are up 6 percent; shelter is up 3.6 percent; and medical care services are up 4.2 percent. (2/3)
