We cannot wait any longer to pass the #BuildBackBetterAct to combat the climate crisis. The $555 billion investment will set our country on course to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, create good-paying union jobs in the U.S., and cut costs for consumers. (2/3)
We are already seeing the catastrophic consequences of climate change – extreme weather, wildfires, rising sea levels, and longer droughts – worsen each year. (1/3)

President Biden's #BuildBackBetterAct is crucial for families across this country who are struggling to make ends meet. This bill will help break down economic barriers and create economic opportunity for all our children and families. (1/3)
The bill funds all of these important initiatives, which will have dramatic impacts on the lives of millions of Americans, by making the tax code more equal. The #BuildBackBetter Act will raise around $2 trillion in revenue – while reducing taxes for the middle class. (3/3)

Today the Supreme Court is hearing arguments on a new York concealed carry law that imposes limits on carrying guns outside of the home. The decision in this case could reverse gun safety laws throughout the country. (1/4)
The high rates of gun violence and mass shootings that our country experiences call for a comprehensive approach to gun reform. We must enact common sense gun safety measures, especially as existing law comes under threat. (2/4)
That's why, along with 130 of my colleagues on the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, I signed on to the amicus brief in the case before SCOTUS today. Together, we are calling for the Supreme Court to reject the challenge to New York's gun laws and protect public safety. (3/4)
In Congress, we must pass legislation that will protect our communities. (4/4) #GunLawsSaveLives
If you are in need of coverage and you live in Washington State, you have until Dec. 15 to enroll in a new health insurance plan or renew or update your existing plan. #GetCoveredWA Click the link below to get started. (2/3) https://t.co/GTDMNRlwP4
The American Rescue Plan expanded eligibility and created tax credits that lower premiums and make plans in the marketplace more affordable. We can continue to expand access to health care by passing the #BuildBackBetterAct - let's get it done. (3/3)
Every American should have access to affordable, high-quality health care – no matter what. Starting today, the open enrollment period through @WA_Health_Care begins. Visit the website to choose a plan that fits your needs. (1/3)
It's time to get it done. Let's pass the #BuildBackBetterAct. (3/3)
That means investing in programs that help individuals and families combat the economic barriers they face. @POTUS's #BuildBackBetterAct would provide significant funding for programs such as childcare and universal pre-k and paid and family and medical leave. (2/3)
It is vital to me that each and every American has the opportunity to pursue the education and job they want to create a good life for themselves and their families. In order to achieve this vision, we must create equal economic opportunity for all. (1/3)
A key part of this fight is combatting climate change, which is a major driver of crop failures. That's why we must invest in programs that decrease our use of fossil fuels - this includes programs that reduce global emissions through climate-smart agricultural practices. (3/3)
This week is Feed the Future Week. @FeedtheFuture is a U.S. Government initiative that works to address hunger, malnutrition and poverty around the globe. Now more than ever, families in the U.S. and abroad need access to clean, sustainable and nourishing food sources. (1/3)
@POTUS knows the importance of this issue. That's why the Biden Administration announced earlier this year that they are investing more than $10 billion to create sustainable food systems throughout the globe to feed our world for generations to come. (2/3)
It’s increasingly clear that Republican obstructionism in the Senate knows no bounds – not even when it comes to voting rights and the very health of our democracy. Inaction on voting rights is unacceptable. It's time to scrap the filibuster.

But Senate Republicans wouldn't even allow the chamber- supposedly the world's greatest deliberative body- to begin debate on the Freedom to Vote Act. Voting is the very core of our Democracy & Democrats will do everything in our power to enshrine the sacred right to vote. (3/4)
Today the Senate is voting to try to advance the Freedom to Vote Act. This bill would expand the right to vote, regulate big money in our elections, and end partisan gerrymandering. (1/4)
Today I sat down with the SeaTac-Tukwila Rotary Club for a conversation about supporting local governments and bringing people together to solve local problems. I had the opportunity to discuss the work being done at the federal level to bring investments to our region. (1/2)
The SeaTac-Tukwila Rotary Club has done incredible work to create a local forum for discussing pressing issues within their communities and brainstorming solutions. (2/2) https://t.co/vbwaXOYNfS
My bill, 911 Diversion to Unarmed Personnel Act, would authorize funds to programs like these.

Yesterday, I met with first responders from the @RentonRFA and @PugetSoundFire. Their Mobile Integrated Health program utilizes specialized vehicles and personnel to respond to calls for people who are vulnerable and in mental distress to connect them with social services. (1/2)

Substance use and mental health disorders don’t discriminate. These issues affect us all, which is why we must work together to support those in recovery. I’m wearing purple today to show my support. #CongressGoesPurple (2/2) https://t.co/nMjzQPevc3
That's why I co-sponsored the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act, which would expand practitioners’ ability to prescribe safe & proven treatments to patients with opioid addiction - an example of the policies we should endorse that will help guide us out of this crisis. (3/3)
Last year alone, more than 93,000 people died from overdoses in the U.S. Congress must take action to address the prescription drug abuse epidemic by investing in prevention, treatment, recovery, and efforts to dismantle international and domestic criminal drug networks. (2/2)
This morning the @DEAHQ issued a public safety alert, warning the public of the alarming increase in fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and meth.
