This $25.5 million dollar investment that helps this project is going to attract over $100 million in private sector development, and that is why you put federal dollars on the table, and that's what you sent me to Washington to do.

This is what America gets and American workers get when you make port infrastructure investment.

If there are people that are overriding the Constitution and not following the Constitution, that would be an area where I would think about [eliminating the filibuster.]

For more than a quarter century, FDA has repeatedly and consistently affirmed that mifepristone is safe.

Decades after FDA’s initial approval of mifepristone and years after the in-person dispensing requirement was eliminated, Louisiana now seeks to re-impose this onerous nationwide restriction on all Americans.

For the good of our country, the rule of law, and the American people, we demand that you change course and restore the previously awarded funding.

At a time when energy prices are skyrocketing, the administration is hell-bent on political retribution instead of working to bring down costs for millions of Americans.

Once an administration begins punishing Americans for how they vote, the threat extends far beyond these projects: no state, community, business, or worker can trust that the federal government will apply the law fairly.

Now that court documents have confirmed what we knew to be true, we write to demand that you restore previously awarded funding that the Trump administration has weaponized in an attempt to punish perceived political enemies.

While we were unable to reverse these harmful changes, I will keep fighting to make childcare more affordable.

Today, Senate Republicans voted to keep a Trump Administration policy that will make childcare more expensive and less accessible for many of those families.

“More than 15,000 low-income families in Washington rely on the Child Care and Development Fund,” said Sen. Cantwell.

If we're going to get our fiscal house in order, the least we can do is fund our own tax accounts receivable function.

Making sure that the IRS is funded and staffed is essential to having a fair system.

We need to make clear to those law-abiding citizens that the well-connected are not above the law, and they don't get a free pass when it comes to compliance with our tax laws.

My constituents were outraged by the $1.8 billion slush fund, but the offer of blanket immunity from any tax enforcement claims was especially appalling.

The U.S. Postal Service has no role in deciding who can vote. The Supreme Court should reject President Trump’s latest demand to allow him to interfere with the ability of Washingtonians to vote by mail. It’s unconstitutional and with…

The Administration is using the Supreme Court's mistaken ruling on Temporary Protected Status to strip legal status from thousands of law-abiding Haitians nationwide, including many community members in Spokane.

We are making women travel all over just to get care, and now we're telling Americans we don't even know if we believe in IVF. This nonsense has to stop.

We urge the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to go back to the drawing board and work directly with tribes and states on a new proposal that actually improves the consultation process without undermining the rights and voices of…

We support efforts to modernize and improve the Section 106 review process, but that cannot come at the expense of meaningful tribal consultation or the expertise of the people who have protected these places for generations.

Let’s be clear: there is a difference between making the consultation process work better and cutting tribes out of the process.

This proposal disrespects the expertise that states and tribes have in protecting our national history and culture, and it erases the requirement for the federal government to meaningfully consult with tribal governments before they take…

These draft regulations by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation are unacceptable — eliminating tribal consultation as we know it.

I take solace in knowing the success that that movement made … historic efforts of people just like you to come together to put the pressure on to explain what was really at stake: our ability to have our voice heard through casting a…
