Instead of starting trade wars with our allies, running up the national debt, cutting infrastructure investments, and badgering the Federal Reserve, the Trump Administration should course-correct and focus on economic policies that lower costs for American families and businesses. (2/3)

Today’s report shows a quarter million fewer jobs in May and June than previously asserted by the administration – evidence that Trump’s tariffs are raising costs and slowing the economy. (1/3)
The US economy added only 73,000 jobs last month, less than half the average of last year as the labor market weakens. Estimates of job growth in past two months were also revised downward. Manufacturing jobs fell for the third straight month. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/u...
Tariffs increase what Americans pay for household goods and food.
No president has the authority to raise taxes on their constituents without Congress acting.
The Constitution protects Americans from this kind of activity, and Congress should make that clear.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens daily. I joined 43 other Senate Democrats to call for the immediate large-scale expansion of humanitarian aid in Gaza by NGOs. I also urged the administration to resume diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire agreement and end the war.
We warned our colleagues that the SCORE Act will leave small and mid-sized institutions behind.

We lost civil rights icon John Lewis five years ago today. He spent his life showing us how to fight for justice and equality, and he continues to inspire Americans to stand up for what is right – even in the face of great adversity.
By ripping away funding for these local stations that millions rely on when disasters strike – from flash floods and hurricanes to tornadoes and wildfires – Republicans chose to cut vital public safety communications, threatening rural communities who depend on public media most. (2/2)
Tonight, Senate Republicans pulled the plug on more than 1,500 public radio and TV stations across America – silencing broadcasters that delivered more than 11,000 life-saving emergency alerts last year and a Tsunami warning to Alaskans hours ago. (1/2)
Today I took to the Senate floor to urge my colleagues to vote against cuts to emergency broadcast funding. How could anyone possibly think that's a wise idea given the extreme weather events that we are facing in our nation?

The more you can move people and resources out of the way of a storm, the more you can predict what might happen, the better prepared we're going to be. And that's going to help us save lives, and certainly save dollars.

If you thought the dissolution of the Pac-12 was a heist, the SCORE Act is the National Championship of all heists. This legislation is a power grab by the two biggest conferences that will leave athletes, coaches, and small and mid-sized institutions behind. My letter with Rep. Baumgartner:
Reposted bySen. Maria Cantwell
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) told "Face The Nation" that the federal government must take responsibility for investigating the breakdown in flood warnings during the recent deadly storms in Texas, calling it a "national responsibility" to improve forecasting systems. https://cbsn.ws/44rnENq
NOAA plays an incredibly important role in preserving life and property.
So I don't agree with the Trump Administration proposal to cut NOAA programs.
How do you preserve NOAA's core mission when we're cutting so much of the science budget?

The proposed rescission of $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting isn't just an attack on NPR and PBS -- it's a reckless endangerment of 13 million Americans who depend on these stations for lifesaving emergency information.

The average American family is already seeing $2,300 in increased costs over last year from the Trump tariffs. We can't afford an endless summer of more tariffs and trade wars. (2/2)
Seattle’s annual Independence Day Naturalization Ceremony is an unbelievable way to celebrate the Fourth of July. I was so happy to welcome over 500 new citizens from more than 70 countries, and to say "Congratulations, my fellow Americans."
They stuck to their cruel plan to kick 17 million Americans off of their health insurance and take SNAP benefits away from millions of families -- all so that billionaires and corporations could get another tax cut. (3/3)
This law is the largest cut to Medicaid in history, which will raise costs for everyone’s health insurance. Hospitals, local elected officials from both parties, and everyday Americans all begged Republicans to make changes, but they refused. (2/3)
With the House green lighting President Trump’s goal of taking away health care access and food security for millions, many Americans are going to suffer, and many working families will see their costs go up. (1/3)
