On World IVF Day, we celebrate the new life that IVF brings into the world. Congress must protect families’ access to IVF by passing the Right to IVF Act, which establishes a nationwide right to IVF and makes fertility treatments more affordable.

Democrats have the vision: Bringing the supply chain back to America, demanding that critical manufacturing happen here, and creating jobs through apprenticeship programs.

We should not accept the fact that in this country women, especially Black women, earn less than men for doing the same work. I join my colleagues in shining the light on this inequity in order to push for a real solution to this problem. (1/2)

57 years ago, astronauts Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin became the first people to set foot on the moon. Subsequent Apollo missions landed 3 lunar rovers built in WA – and we’re very proud that 40+ WA companies supported this year’s Artemis II mission.

To honor Rep. Lewis’ legacy, Congress must continue to work to ensure equal rights and equal access to the ballot box. I was honored to have joined him in 2019 in his annual civil rights pilgrimage across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. (2/2)

Six years ago today, we lost John Lewis – a civil rights icon who inspired us to fight for justice and equality, even in the face of great adversity. We now fight for our voting rights, which are under threat by the President of the United States. (1/2)

The SAVE America Act and redistricting to eliminate minority-majority districts are actions to take away the right to vote.

Thank you to Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action advocates from WA for our recent meeting in DC. We discussed the urgent need to prevent gun violence, which affects far too many people across Washington state.

I recently celebrated with Congressional Award Gold Medalists from Washington state. They dedicated hundreds of hours to serving their communities, a feat they should be very proud of.

I ask my Senate colleagues to stand up for your vote and for our rights – because if we don’t stop this assault on vote-by-mail, I guarantee you millions of Americans will be disenfranchised.

American exceptionalism is that we are a melting pot, and that melting pot makes us stronger. Today in Seattle, I celebrated our nation’s 250th anniversary with 252 new U.S. citizens.

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. (1/3)

This week marks the 57th anniversary of the #Stonewall uprising, an act of bravery and resiliency in the face of violence and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. We must always honor all those fighting for LGBTQ+ equality.

The court has affirmed what we have known all along: states have the right to set rules for counting ballots when they are received. The Supreme Court affirmed both a key element of by-mail voting and the constitutional authority of states to administer their elections. (1/3)

Happy #FathersDay to all the dads in Washington state and all over the country! Today, we appreciate and celebrate all you do.

On Juneteenth we reflect on America’s history of slavery and what it has meant for our country. It is also a day to look forward and recommit ourselves to the fight for civil rights, voting rights, and social and economic justice.

Thank you to the Planned Parenthood Alliance advocates from WA who visited me in DC. We talked about ways to ensure that Planned Parenthood can continue to provide care for the tens of thousands of Washingtonians who count on their services.

Schools are cutting Olympic sports programs & dropping scholarships. We can & should write better rules that put athletes first & keep our institutions strong. That is exactly what the Protect College Sports Act does. Thank you USOPC for voicing support!

On #WorldOceansDay, we recognize that healthy oceans are essential to Washington’s economy and environment. I will continue fighting for investments and legislation to protect Puget Sound and our coasts.

82 years ago today, U.S. troops – with our allies – launched the largest amphibious invasion in history, storming the beaches of Normandy to defend freedom and democracy. We owe so much to those who served, those who sacrificed, and the families who stood behind them.

Happy #PrideMonth! This June, we celebrate our LGBTQ+ community and recommit ourselves to ending discrimination and prejudice so full equality can be achieved. I’ll continue to stand with the community and fight for legislation to protect LGBTQ+ Americans.

On this Memorial Day, we remember those service members we have lost. Among those lost in this war, we remember and recognize Capt. Ariana G. Savino of Covington, WA, who earned her commission through the Air Force ROTC program at Central Washington University. (1/3)

Today, I joined House and Senate Democrats to oppose the Republicans' new spending package that won't do anything to lower costs.

Across WA, Head Start is a lifeline for working parents. On the week of Head Start’s 61st birthday, we celebrate free childcare, nutrition, and healthcare services provided to 15,000 Washington Pre-K kids, and we recognize this essential federal support for families.

For generations, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities have contributed to WA's cultural vibrancy, our economy, and our way of life. It’s an honor to sponsor the annual Senate Resolution marking May as AANHPI Heritage Month. www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

The State of Washington is already seeing real-world impacts from sea-level rise, but Sen. Johnson of Wisconsin blocked a Senate resolution to simply recognize the problem. We cannot bury our heads in the sand with so much at risk.

I’m concerned that decreased grocery store competition in local communities is raising food prices. Anti-competitive land restrictions can prevent new grocery stores from moving in. My letter to the FTC:

Happy Mother's Day to moms everywhere! Moms raise us, guide us, and inspire us. I’ll continue to do all I can to support the success of mothers & their families.

Happy #NationalNursesDay to all the hardworking nurses across the State of Washington. Thank you to WA members of the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses who met with me last week. I am proud to support you for everything you do to help keep Washingtonians healthy.
