The question before Congress right now is about life and death issues: Will hospitals stay open? Can kids stay on their health care?
OR are billionaires like Elon going to get trillions in tax cuts—at their expense?
Not a hard question. I know my answer—I'm with families.

Great to hike on Cle Elum Ridge with @nature.org to discuss the importance of federal investments for forest restoration and protection.
Protecting our natural resources has to be a top priority.
In the Senate, I'll be fighting back against ANY proposed cuts to funding for our public lands.
As Trump fires vets, cancer researchers & so many others, his administration is encouraging agencies to ignore HR recs and pay Trump political appointees the max salary—nearly $200k.
Padding loyal operatives' pockets while decimating basic services.
I'm demanding accountability.
My family relied on food stamps briefly when I was a kid—our country had our back, and all 7 of us kids grew up to give back to our communities.
Investing in nutrition assistance? Investing in SNAP? That’s an investment in people, and cutting SNAP won't help anyone.
When it comes to vaccinating pregnant women & children, the benefits greatly outweigh the risks.
People should be able to make that choice for themselves.
RFK Jr. is making it less likely that insurance will cover this vaccine and less likely that people can have that choice.
I'll be a broken record on this: The GOP tax bill puts tax breaks for billionaires over health care for millions.
Premiums will skyrocket for middle-class families. Working people—and CHILDREN—will lose health care. Hospitals will close.
We've got to stop them. Help spread the word.
Right now, Republicans are trying to kick millions off Medicaid and spike your premiums.
But remember: we stopped Republicans from repealing the ACA in 2017. I stood with @cantwell.senate.gov to say: Now is the time to get loud and speak out.
NO CUTS TO MEDICAID!
We should NOT cut food assistance in America so that Trump can pad the pockets of billionaires and giant corporations.
If Republicans won’t listen to common sense and common decency—then we are going to get a megaphone and shout it from the rooftops:
HANDS OFF SNAP.
Guess what: because of how badly the GOP tax bill would blow up the national debt, it would eventually trigger a budget law that would force $535 BILLION in cuts to Medicare.
It’s downright criminal.
They’re slashing Medicare through the back door to cut taxes for billionaires.
Today, on Memorial Day, we remember the cost of war and the sacrifices our military families make.
I hope friends and neighbors in every part of WA take a moment to reflect on those sacrifices. I'll always work to honor our fallen servicemembers through my work in the Senate.
"One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is a stupid name.
But more importantly, it will kick millions of Americans off their health care, including CHILDREN, it will spike premiums, and explode our national debt.
It's a raw deal for middle-class Americans and a huge giveaway to billionaires.
More than a week later, and still NO answer from RFK Jr.
This is alarming. How many NIH clinical staff have been fired? How is that impacting patient care?
This information is not meant to be secret.
Good morning.
The minute the Republican tax bill arrives in the Senate, it should promptly be thrown in the trash.
No way to Medicaid cuts. No way to kicking kids off their health care. No way to pushing seniors out of nursing homes.
An anti-abortion group that helped write Project 2025 puts out junk science on mifepristone—and now the Trump administration is calling for a "complete review."
Trump's FDA is laying the groundwork to rip away access to medication abortion.
We can't be quiet about it.
I explain to FDA Commisioner Makary: when it comes to food & drug safety, it's downright dangerous to mass fire 1 in 5 people, then frantically rehire some—only because you couldn't think for 2 seconds if these jobs were actually important.
Oh, and I'm tearing up Trump's budget proposal.
A top government watchdog confirms: Trump's breaking the law to block funds owed to the American people.
I don’t care about Russ Vought’s personal interpretation of our spending laws.
The Constitution is clear. President Trump does not have the power of the purse—Congress does.
Horrified at the murder of two young Israeli embassy aides last night at the Capital Jewish Museum.
We must all condemn this kind of violence & antisemitism in the strongest possible terms. Hate has no place in America.
My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.
House Republicans don't want you to know they just passed a bill that makes health care MORE expensive and kicks MILLIONS off Medicaid, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations.
We need to make sure America knows.
And we need to kill this bill in the Senate.
While Trump's tariffs explode costs, his new tax bill will also make health care & groceries more expensive for millions, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires.
Worse health care so billionaires can pad their pockets?
Every Member of Congress should vote NO on this scam bill.
My message to Energy Secretary Chris Wright: Your budget cuts BILLIONS from research to manufacturing, and it will RAISE energy bills.
With Trump's budget, the only energy we are going to save is from the lights that go out at factories across the country.
Congress should rip this budget up.
