We are facing a housing crisis—and it has been especially hard on families in Washington state. I fought hard to secure a more than $3.7 billion increase for critical housing assistance and homelessness programs to help families keep a roof over their head. There’s a lot more we need to do and I’ll keep pushing for progress every day.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at my State of the Union guest Kayla’s busy day in Washington, D.C.! I am so grateful she could come out to the Other Washington to share her story and lend her voice to the fight to restore reproductive rights.

🚨🚨🚨IN CASE YOU MISSED IT🚨🚨🚨 Donald Trump said THIS WEEK that there is “a lot you can do” to cut Medicare and Social Security. Meanwhile, @potus released a budget that protects and strengthens these benefits for families & seniors, all while putting our country on more stable fiscal footing. It could not be more painstakingly clear that Trump wants to cut your Social Security and Medicare.

Today, Senate Republicans blocked my bill to expand access to IVF and family-building services for veterans and servicemembers. This should not have been controversial: servicemembers and veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, but they should never have to sacrifice their ability to start a family.

Kayla Smith’s decision to speak out and share her story about not being able to get abortion care in Idaho is not only inspiring, and brave—it’s important and it makes a difference.  
 
I am not going to stop talking about abortion—and making sure people are paying attention to the horror stories coming out of states where abortion is banned. And I’m going to keep standing with women like Kayla, being a firewall against Republicans’ continued attempts to pass anti-abortion policies through Congress, and fighting to restore Roe so that every woman across our country once again has the right to make her own health care decisions.
