Students will face much higher costs if enhanced premium tax credits aren’t extended -- a 26-year-old part-time student in Eastern WA would see his health insurance premiums quadruple.

Ranking Member @cantwell.senate.gov and Chair Ted Cruz have reached a bipartisan agreement on aviation safety legislation to close the ADS-B Out loophole, strengthen FAA oversight, & help prevent future tragedies in our skies. #AviationSafety

We've made some big investments to grow the middle class, like in the CHIPS & Science Act.
But now we have a president who isn't embracing that policy -- he's making things more expensive with tariffs, and that’s making it harder to grow the middle class.
Today is #SpiritDay — a day to take a stand against bullying and show support for our #LGBTQ+ youth. Too many LGBTQ+ young people still face harassment at school. That is wrong and unacceptable, and it must end.
If Congress doesn’t extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, health insurance premiums for a single dad in Snohomish County will more than triple.

Airports are right to refuse to air DHS Secretary Noem’s partisan video.
And now @cantwell.senate.gov is demanding a Hatch Act investigation.

If enhanced premium tax credits aren’t extended, new costs will hit some seniors hard. A 60-year-old woman in Yakima County earning $41K/year with a husband on Medicare would see her annual health insurance costs skyrocket from $70 to $1,945.
We're already facing the cost of Trumpflation. No one has spare change to now make health care payments that are more expensive. Thanks @momsrising.org for getting the word out.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay we honor Native Americans as the first inhabitants of our country. Indigenous peoples have faced and risen above immense challenges, and today we celebrate the strength and resilience of Native culture.
Throughout WA’s history, Hispanic pioneers, entrepreneurs, and activists have made us stronger. Hispanics are 13.5% of WA’s workers, including some of our top business leaders, judges, politicians, and athletes. This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate their contributions to our country.
I took few minutes with @momsrising.org the other day to get the word out: In 29 states, health insurance rates are projected to go up by more than 20%. If my Republican colleagues are serious about driving down health care costs, then let's protect ACA tax credits that are expiring.

Sen. Cantwell is urging Big Ten university presidents to think twice before selling a stake in their athletic revenues to private equity firms.
She stated that the deals “may be counter to your university’s academic goals”

Hopefully this critical breakthrough will be quickly followed by an immediate surge of humanitarian aid delivered by a multinational peacekeeping force and a genuine effort to find lasting and prosperous peace in the region through the acceptance of a durable and equitable two state solution. (2/2)
After two years of terrible conflict and suffering, it looks like a ceasefire will finally go into effect in Gaza and the hostages will be returned home to their families. (1/2)
Our neighbors in Idaho are going to face skyrocketing monthly health care costs unless we extend the ACA tax credits.
More than 70,000 King County residents receive enhanced premium tax credits to help them afford health insurance. If the credits aren’t extended, a couple earning $52K/year with an adult dependent son will see their annual health insurance cost skyrocket from $490 to $2,830.
We need to act right now. We need to say to families who are going to be threatened by this that we can work together and we have a plan.
God forbid that these people get sick or have a condition that is really life threatening, because people don't want to come up with a solution today. It is not that hard. We can extend these tax credits. We can have affordable health insurance in the market.
As Congress debates the future of the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, new KFF polling finds significant concern about affordability if they expire at the end of the year.

72% of Americans say they want an enhanced premium tax credit extension.
So let's do our jobs. Let's quickly act to extend the ACA tax credits.
Let's make a bipartisan effort to show the American people that we hear them.
Health insurance premiums for a single person will more than double on average next year if the enhanced premium tax credits expire.
This will be on top of the rising prices Americans pay for household goods, gas prices, electricity, housing, and groceries.
