Leslie, from a very rural part of our state, told me that her husband relies on the ACA premium credits to afford his health insurance. Without the subsidy, his monthly premium would increase from $200 to $700 a month, and he will no longer be able to afford it.

We want our public lands preserved for all Americans to enjoy. (2/2)
I hope everyone who enjoys the great outdoors will take a moment to recognize Public Lands Day! And be thankful that we were able to fight off a Republican proposal to sell off millions of acres of some of America's most beautiful places. (1/2)
You bet I’m calling on the GOP to come to the table to get health care funded. Americans are going to be choosing health care plans in just a few weeks. We don’t have time to wait.

I’m glad Sinclair and Nexstar listened to the communities they serve and returned Jimmy Kimmel to the air, including to KOMO-TV in Seattle. Local broadcasters have a duty to air programming that serves their communities of license.
Nexstar has joined Sinclair in ending its Jimmy Kimmel blackout. The show will return to all ABC stations tonight. https://cnn.it/3IiUZSB
Good news: Jimmy Kimmel Live! is back on the air in Seattle tonight, Friday night! Thank you Sinclair for listening.
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.
Given the popularity of Jimmy Kimmel’s show in the Seattle market, Sinclair’s decision not to reinstate the program appears contrary to the inherently local aspects of its station licenses. I urged Sinclair to return the show to KOMO-TV.
Today I released a snapshot report detailing drastic cost increases for Americans who buy their own health insurance. Time is of the essence if we don’t want to see these double-digit increases. The White House and Congress should address this now.

What a great moment for the Mariners last night. Congrats to Dan Wilson and all the players who keep delivering big performances game after game. “Refuse to Lose” still lives thanks to all the fans!

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.
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)
