As a United States Senator, it is my responsibility to thoroughly review lifetime appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court. I take this responsibility very seriously. I owed it to my constituents to review his full record. After having done so, I oppose his confirmation.

Main Street has paid the price for risky gambling on Wall Street for too long. I've introduced a Glass-Steagall Act for the 21st Century.

We need Carolyn Long's voice in Congress. Get involved today and help her #Flipthe3rd! #waelex.
Healthcare isn't just a policy matter to me, it's personal. Sharing stories like mine is how we make sure our leaders understand we won't tolerate an administration that sabotages our healthcare & refuses to defend protections for pre-existing conditions. It's time to #Flipthe3rd

Kamala Harris is a strong voice for the future of our party and our country. She's a westerner who has taken on special interests and knows how to fight for families living paycheck to paycheck.

Happy to announce that @PattyMurray and I have secured more funds for community health centers in Washington state. I’m proud to support these health centers and glad we secured more resources to foster innovation and deliver high-value care to families.

Truth matters, & the truth about @cathymcmorris' record matters: Despite her statements to the contrary, she's repeatedly voted to undermine protections for preexisting conditions. This election is bigger than us. It's about honesty & accountability in politics. #TruthMattersWA05

Kamala, like Joe Biden, knows that working families need to put food on the table, and the two of them know how to deliver economic security for all Americans.

I was so proud to rally with @DrKimSchrier today in Issaquah. We are going to make the #WaveOfWomen she talks about in this @GMA story real! #waelex.
Meet Dr. Kim Schrier, a pediatrician in Washington state and a first-time candidate running for a House seat to "fix" healthcare for all Americans and stabilize the health insurance markets under the ACA.

I have monumental questions for the next Supreme Court nominee. Is the President able to pardon himself? Do you believe Roe v. Wade is settled law? Do you believe in the Emoluments Clause? See my full interview here:

I need Lisa Brown in Congress to help me fight for Washington families with pre-existing conditions. #waelex.
How can @cathymcmorris say she’s offended by allegations that she’s voted to cut protections for people with pre-existing conditions? The ACA is the only legislation that protected ppl with such conditions at a national level.

Kamala Harris is a fierce advocate for working-class Americans, for reproductive rights, for investing in our nation and every citizen. The contrast between her and Donald Trump couldn't be more clear and consequential on our environment, our fiscal health, and our democracy.

Very proud of this bipartisan bill! Especially for WA State, as it prevents new mining activities on federal land in the Methow Valley, explores new technology for fighting wildfires, gives Seattle's Nordic Museum a national designation and much more to protect our #PublicLands.
The U.S. Senate Tuesday passed a rare, bipartisan bill that will bolster some public lands and help others prepare for climate change. (Story by @evanbush).
