Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, an important time to remember people we've lost. Across our state, Washingtonians are gathering to remember those who lost their lives to overdose, and offer support to their neighbors who are dealing with addiction.
Overdose death is preventable

The President should listen to the courts, end his illegal tariffs, and stop driving up prices for American consumers, small businesses, and manufacturers. And Congress should pass the bipartisan Trade Review Act and end these reckless trade wars. (2/2)
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 30(source)
Three federal courts have now ruled that the President does not have the authority to impose arbitrary tariffs. Trump tariffs are already starting to fuel inflation at a time when too many Americans are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. (1/2)
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 27(source)
It is a reminder that Congress must act on common sense gun reform from supporting red flag laws and extreme risk protection orders to passing universal background checks. And it is not the time to cut federal funding for state and local law enforcement. (2/2)
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 27(source)
I am deeply saddened by the senseless acts of violence and the loss of innocent lives today in Minneapolis. My heart goes out to the students, their families, and faculty. No child should face danger at school or in church. (1/2)

On #WomensEqualityDay we honor the women who struggled hard & long to win the right to vote. Because of them, our democracy includes our voices – and that makes our country stronger.

Health insurance premiums are skyrocketing thanks to the cuts under the President’s "Big, Beautiful Bill." Affordability is such a critical issue across many fronts -- food, household goods, and others. Let's not make health care more expensive. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...
Leaders and policy analysts warn of ACA insurance costs increasing to 75% next year, potentially impacting thousands in eastern Washington
Health insurance costs for people who buy individual coverage through the Affordable Care Act could spike next year, affecting thousands of people across Washington state.
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 20(source)
Stacey Johnson, Founder and President of Your Insurance Gal Agency in Vancouver, explains how recent federal policy changes will increase health care costs. This is a real threat to our health care affordability. Congress should act to preserve Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Our limited state and local law enforcement resources are needed to fight violent crime and fentanyl. Washington law prioritizes public safety and provides due process. (1/2) komonews.com/news/local/w...
'Washington will not be bullied:' Ferguson responds to Bondi's sanctuary policy threat
"You are hereby notified that Washington State will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations," Governor Bob Ferguson wrote in a

I am proud that we have 44 companies across the state contributing directly to the upcoming Artemis II and Artemis III missions, thanks to the outstanding work of our state’s talented STEM professionals. (2/2)

Happy 90th birthday to Social Security! Without this program, nearly 300,000 Washingtonians would fall under the poverty line. That is why I take offense when the Treasury Secretary says the Trump Accounts might be a back door way to privatize Social Security. Not on my watch!
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 13(source)
Dana Christiansen, owner of a child care center in Camas, says rising health insurance costs create tough choices for her business: “How much do I take on and absorb? How much do I pass on to the employee? How much do I pass on to the families in the form of tuition increases?”
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 11(source)
It may take a while for the courts to act on this overreach by President Trump who is simply trying to project power. But the American people know there are better ways to solve their problems than this authoritarian move. (6/6)
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 11(source)
If the President really wanted to fight crime in our cities, he would create a Fentanyl Task Force with the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and local law enforcement sharing resources and working collaboratively to tackle this scourge. (4/6)
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 11(source)
The U.S. Attorney General should let DC mayor Muriel Bowser do her job and the FBI should do theirs. Which means the FBI fighting money laundering, sex trafficking and combatting drug trafficking. (3/6)
Sen. Maria Cantwell@cantwell.senate.govAug 11(source)
One of best ways to help cities fight crime is funding community policing programs that have reduced violent crime rates in some cities by as much as 50%.   But the President has cut these community programs, Byrne JAG, and other grants by $500 million. (2/6)
