By removing all members of the independent and bipartisan federal Election Assistance Commission, President Trump is making our elections less secure.

We are asking you to leave this ceremony and go register to vote […] You took the test. You know what it's about. Let's go put it into action.

The formal review of the USMCA started today. The agreement and the subsequent investments in supply chains built on a three-country market have created wealth and opportunity for all of North America. I ask the USTR to negotiate in good…

With this key federal environmental review complete, it's time to put the $2.1 billion in federal grants to work building a bridge that will serve our region and the Nation for generations.

This bridge carries one of the Nation's most important freight corridors, with $48 billion in American-made and American-grown goods crossing it each year.

Let’s get building! The signing of the Record of Decision brings the Pacific Northwest one step closer to replacing the aging Interstate Bridge with the modern, resilient crossing our region has needed for decades.

Replacing the Fishing Wars Memorial Bridge is essential to restoring a critical freight and commuter connection that supports the Port of Tacoma, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Tribal communities, and thousands of Washington jobs. Before its…

This investment will modernize one of eastern Washington's most important freight corridors by reducing congestion, improving safety, and keeping goods moving through Spokane Valley more efficiently. Upgrading the Sullivan and Trent…

The Port of Bellingham plays a vital role in Washington's maritime economy, and this investment will upgrade critical infrastructure needed to move cargo safely and efficiently for decades to come. The upgraded North Pier will reinforce…

Today’s employment data does not suggest a booming economy. In fact, it shows we are just hanging on. The growth in jobs is tepid and any growth in wages still falls short of inflation. While President Trump and his family are making…

This is especially important for our seniors and people living in rural areas to have their voices counted.

I ask the USTR to negotiate in good faith with our partners and extend the agreement.

Accordingly, we insist that the Postal Service abandon this proposed regulation and return to its core mission of providing universal postal services to every American. The Constitution and federal law demand nothing less.

Our country has long held that children born on U.S. soil or U.S. territories are citizens. Today they no longer have to worry about an administration who tried to deny them this right.

Unfounded attacks on safe and secure by-mail voting should stop, including the Postmaster imposing a rule to delay postmarking.

The court has affirmed what we have known all along: states have the right to set rules for counting ballots when they are received.

I fought to secure $2 million for this Health Resource[s and] Service[s] Administration grant to help build this 9,800-square-foot facility to integrate behavioral health and primary care, and say we can have one-stop healthcare shopping.

Too many people are falling through the cracks. More than 4,000 low-income residents in downtown Spokane do not have access to a community health center, let alone integrated behavioral health services.

Integrated care and the partnership that is between Frontier Behavioral Health and the CHAS Healthcare System is really rethinking how healthcare works, and it's being delivered here in Spokane.

Accordingly, we insist that the Postal Service abandon this proposed regulation and return to its core mission of providing universal postal services to every American.

Snohomish County, Washington, recently conducted a test to assess the postal delivery times in their area.

I ask my colleagues to stand up for their constituents — because if we don’t stop this administration’s war on voting rights, I guarantee you, millions of Americans will be disenfranchised.

Voting in America is your right. Americans have been beaten, they’ve been bloodied, and they’ve given their lives to secure that right. Disenfranchisement today is more bureaucratic, and it’s more technical, but the results for ordinary…

The Administration will use the Supreme Court’s inhumane TPS decision to send thousands of law-abiding immigrants back to unstable and dangerous home countries. Congress must act to rectify the error.

I think what’s going to come up is that [athletic directors] and presidents are going to get their comeuppance from regents who were all of a sudden like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’
