Great to see business & civic leaders from Greater Spokane Inc. here in the Other Washington to talk about how funding I secured for their region—on everything from child care to housing—will help support families & the local economy.

REMINDER: If you were affected by the devastating Gray and Oregon wildfires, the deadline to apply for relief through @FEMA and SBA is TOMORROW, April 20th.

Democrats fought hard to reign in big pharma—and won. For patients, that's meant:

🏥capping Medicare Part D at ~$2,000,
💉capping insulin at $35/mo for seniors, and
💊allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs.

Republicans voted against it all.

Let's be clear: abortion is essential health care.

And Senate Democrats will keep fighting until the right to abortion is restored nationwide.

Great to join @momsrising's 'Toddler's Choice Awards', talking to families about child care.

I got into politics fighting to save my kids’ preschool program. Today, I'm fighting to fix our broken child care system for families across America.

Thrilled to have met students and teachers from Bellarmine and congratulate them on making it to Center for Civic Ed.'s #WTPFinals . It's always exciting to see young leaders engaging in their democracy—they're making Washington state proud!

Damage caused by the increasing number and severity of wildfires is a huge concern in Washington state. I met with WRECA to discuss how we can work together to protect utilities and the communities and families they serve.

The recent reports of abuse & a lack of accountability at military child care centers are absolutely unacceptable—period. I pressed the Department of Defense 🇺🇸 on exactly what happened and what steps it is taking to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. military.com/daily-news/202…

.@HalleBerry is doing important work advocating for menopause research and breaking the stigma around women's mid-life health care. It was great to talk with her about how we can work together to better support women throughout all stages of life.

I'm glad the House is finally moving forward on the national security supplemental, which mirrors the bill I negotiated & passed overwhelmingly in the Senate. We have no time to waste—our allies in Ukraine and around the world desperately need our help.

Proud to introduce Judge Rebecca Pennell at Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on her nomination to be a U.S. District Court Judge for Eastern WA.

Judge Pennell is a true public servant with deep ties to WA who is committed to a justice system that treats people fairly & works for everyone.

Bob Graham was a true statesman and he loved his state of Florida deeply—that was plain to all of us who served with him in the Senate.

He leaves an incredible legacy of public service and my thoughts are with Adele and the entire Graham family.

Salmon recovery is always a priority for me. It was great to meet with the Six Sovereigns to discuss our shared efforts to save our salmon & how I'll keep fighting as Senate Appropriations Dems Chair to support this important work.

From Tribal justice and protecting victims and survivors of crime to gun violence prevention, U.S. Department of Justice's work is vitally important in keeping families and communities safe.

Reports of abuse at military child care centers are unacceptable—and I expect these horrific incidents to be investigated & swiftly addressed so that men and women in uniform can be certain their kids are in safe hands.

The Black maternal health care crisis is real—and it's alarming.

As we work to restore reproductive rights across the country, we absolutely have to address the systemic racism and gaps in care that disproportionately hurt women of color, especially Black women. #BMHW24
