When workers unionize, it helps all of us. Organized labor is good for pay and benefits, good for the economy, and good for America.

I’m thrilled to see more workers, like those at Volkswagen, taking action to collectively bargain and organize for their workplace rights!

At town halls back in Wisconsin, Gaza is a big concern. It’s not just on college campuses. It’s in rural America too.

This week, I cleared some new trails with Washington Trails and met Carole, who’s pushing for more women in technical leadership in the outdoors! You can have the opportunity to work on amazing projects just like these — sign up for the American Climate Corps: acc.gov

This is a big step by the Labor Dept to modernize our visa system, strengthen worker protections, and increase flexibility, transparency, and recruiter accountability. I was proud to support this rule to improve our H-2 visa program.

ANOTHER giant win for all Americans! President Biden and Secretary Pete Buttigieg are making airlines fully refund passengers ASAP when their flights are canceled or significantly changed. Oh, and they’re cracking down on hidden fees. Democrats will continue to deliver. npr.org/2024/04/24/124…

Extreme MAGA Republicans across the country are putting in place cruel anti-abortion laws and threatening to throw Americans in jail for making their own health care choices.

It’s inhumane, anti-freedom, and un-American. We must fight back and enshrine abortion rights for all.

There is a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. There are massive shortages of doctors and teachers, pharmacy and grocery store shelves are empty, and people are suffering. This country is only 100 miles from our border — and we must engage diplomatically with them.

Thank you to everyone who came out to my 110th town hall last night! 

Hearing directly from the people I have the honor of representing is the best part of my job. These are always such great conversations and I'm so grateful to have such engaged constituents.

One of the top things I hear when I talk to my constituents is that the skyrocketing cost of child care is completely unaffordable.

That's why I proudly support Elizabeth Warren's bill to ensure that no family pays more than 7% of their income on child care. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/i…

This was the first time Congress could weigh in on the direction of the war in Gaza & was an important moment to showcase the necessity of a policy shift to stop the killing of innocent civilians. We should not be supplying Netanyahu with military aid to further this destruction.

As SCOTUS hears arguments today on cruel abortion restrictions, a reminder:

Abortion is health care. Health care is a human right. Democrats will keep fighting to ensure that every person has access to reproductive care and the ability to make their own health care decisions.

Thanks to Sanders Institute for convening a critical discussion about our housing crisis. Each year, tens of thousands of Americans have their homes damaged by climate disaster. I joined our champion Rep. Pramila Jayapal to talk about her groundbreaking Climate Resilience Workforce Act.

I was proud to lead a letter with Chris Murphy 🟧, Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Scott Peters urging the FTC to quickly finalize this rule. 30 million workers in the US are bound by non-competes and this rule will give workers more freedom and ensure we have a strong job marketplace.
