Cecile Richards was a dear friend & invaluable partner in so many fights, from making sure the ACA covered birth control to keeping Planned Parenthood's doors open no matter what.
She changed the conversation around women's health & was a fighter to the end. She will be missed.

Republicans want to extend the Trump tax cuts to line the pockets of their billionaire friends rather than invest in what really matters to working families: affordable child care, quality health care, & making our communities safer.
Repost if you agree they've got it backward.
The new law we passed to make sure public workers finally get the full Social Security benefits they earned applies to spouses, too. If your spouse worked in public service and you weren't able to get benefits in the past, now is the time to sign up. Learn more! 👇

BIG NEWS: Thanks to Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, Medicare is negotiating lower prices for 15 MORE of the most costly drugs. This is another huge step toward making lifesaving medications more affordable for people across the country. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...
House Republicans want to rip the rug out from under tens of millions of children and families who rely on Medicaid for health care—in order to pay for their agenda to reward billionaires. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-g...
RFK Jr. is an outright, unapologetic, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist.
He is a dangerous pick to lead Trump's Department of Health—and it's Americans' health and safety that are at stake if the Senate confirms him to this critical role.
Capitol police officers put their lives on the line to keep everyone safe—Democrats and Republicans—during a violent insurrection. Yet Speaker Johnson can't be bothered to put a plaque on the wall to honor the law enforcement who protected him.
The November bomb cyclone had catastrophic impacts across WA state. I'm leading the WA state delegation in urging President Biden to open up federal assistance to help families, businesses, and communities recover. mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-...
The Laken Riley Act would cost up to $83 billion in the first 3 years to implement—more than DHS's entire annual budget.
That’s a lot of money to spend on a bill that'll cause chaos, punish legal immigrants, & undermine due process—while drawing resources away from true threats.
Enacting the Laken Riley Act as written would mean it doesn't matter if you're innocent—if you're arrested, even if you’re a child, you can be deported. This would be an all-out assault on due process, with devastating and far-reaching consequences—including for legal immigrants.
Pete Hegseth—Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Defense—has spent years denigrating women in the military and I don't buy for a second his 11th hour reversal on the topic.
I introduced a resolution with @senduckworth.bsky.social to honor the contributions of every woman servicemember.
I'm encouraged by the news of a deal for a ceasefire, and look forward to the release of hostages who have been held in Gaza for more than a year in unspeakable conditions, & an immediate surge in humanitarian aid flow to Gaza to meet the dire humanitarian needs.
My statement ⬇️
Despite my firm opposition to his nomination, I met with RFK Jr. today.
A vaccine denier should not be our nation's highest-ranking health care official. It takes no imagination to see how dangerous he would be at HHS, and it takes mountains of willful ignorance to ignore it.

Exciting news for Spokane! This Tech Hub award is a testament to the cutting-edge research & collaboration happening across our state as Washington continues to be a leader in aerospace innovation & job creation.

House Republicans are making their priorities clear: cutting SNAP—which millions of moms and babies rely on to afford nutritious food—to pay for more tax cuts and handouts for their billionaire friends. www.huffpost.com/entry/republ...
Washington state is taking home the largest-ever award from the Rural federal grant program to expand U.S. 12 to a four-lane highway. This will reduce traffic, give people their time back, and make our roads safer! www.theolympian.com/news/state/w...
Repost if you agree that none of the 72 million Americans on Medicaid should lose their health care so that Republicans can pass giant tax cuts for billionaires and mega corporations.
Things our tax dollars should go toward:
- child care
- education
- health care.
Things our tax dollars will go toward if Republicans renew the Trump tax cuts:
- Handouts for billionaires and mega-corporations.
Servicemembers & their families will have birth control covered with zero out-of-pocket costs.
Access to birth control helps women plan their lives and futures—this new law will make it easier for women in the military to get the reproductive health care they need.
