I'm doing everything I can to make sure that we address the fact that cheap health insurance is going to disappear in the next 60 days. But our Republican colleagues don't want to talk to us about a solution.
If you want free speech, if you want freedom of expression, you also have to have a free press. I appeared on Morning Joe today to say that FCC Chair Brendan Carr should come before the Commerce Committee and talk about his actions.
It will also overload our health care system with unnecessary doctor’s visits. We should be taking actions to make vaccines more accessible and affordable for seniors, especially as we enter flu season. (4/4)
The committee’s vote to require 'shared clinical decision-making' for the COVID-19 vaccine is just another attempt to impose barriers to access, while creating confusion about whether Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance will cover the cost. (3/4)
Secretary Kennedy’s committee members who believe in pseudoscience should not be making decisions that affect the accessibility and affordability of life-saving vaccines. (2/4)
As the Committee with jurisdiction over the FCC, it is our constitutional duty to conduct oversight over this matter and demand Chairman Carr answer for this unprecedented attack on the First Amendment. (2/2)
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.
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)
A Bill: To prevent violence in the West Bank and authorize the imposition of sanctions with respect to any foreign person endangering United States national security and undermining prospects for a two-state solution by committing illegal violent acts.
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.
Sen. Cantwell’s Sense of Congress calls for:
•	An immediate ceasefire in Gaza; and
•	Organizing a multinational force that includes international peacekeepers from NATO, major non-NATO allies, and members of the League of Arab States in coordination with local Palestinian civil leaders. The peacekeepers would support: 
o	Delivery of food, water, and medical supplies;
o	Capacity building for water, sanitation, electricity, health care, and food delivery systems; and
o	Final implementation of a 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
