  1. People across WA & the country watched our discussion as they worry about how to best keep themselves, their families, & their communities safe. We must continue to get people reliable info about how vaccines are safe, effective, & lifesaving.

  2. Reminder: President Trump said that he "didn't need" to declare a . Last month, the House voted against the president's excuse to violate our Constitution and laws and I hope we follow suit in the Senate.

  3. The idea that President Trump not being able to pass his wall spending through Congress constitutes an ‘emergency’ is absurd. The idea of the president cutting our country's military pay and pensions to pay for his wall is wrong.

  4. ICYMI: Under the Trump Admin's rule, providers at health centers that receive Title X funding will be blocked from telling patients about where & how to get a safe, legal abortion. This includes Planned Parenthood centers that serve 41% of Title X patients.

  5. Because of the measles outbreak in WA's Clark County, more than 800 students are having to stay away from classrooms for up to 3 weeks. We must continue to educate parents to understand the science—vaccines are safe and effective.

  6. Measles isn’t just deadly—it’s one of the world’s most contagious diseases. This is why the measles vaccine is so important in providing protection. We know that and we must continue to educate people & families & build vaccine confidence.

  7. 4M people, including low-income women & women of color, go to funded centers—including Planned Parenthood centers—for birth control, lifesaving cancer screenings, STD tests & more each year. The Trump Admin's Title X rule puts care they depend on in jeopardy.

  8. This week Republicans confirmed Trump court pick Allison Rushing, who has alarming views about women and the LGBTQ community. Another reason we must continue to fight their efforts to jam through judicial nominees who want to take our country backwards.

  9. We haven’t forgotten when Republicans tried to jam through their awful Trumpcare bill, and we won't forget this week when Republicans voted to confirm Chad Readler—President Trump's right hand man for undermining health care for people across the country.

  10. The in WA's Clark County is just one of many that are happening around the country. It's clear we have to do more to make sure parents understand that vaccines work and are safe and effective.

  11. Democrats: We'll stand up for women’s access to affordable birth control & against those who want to put politicians in the doctor’s office where they do not ever belong. Republicans: We'll undermine women’s access to health care they need & providers they trust.

  12. The Trump Administration's rule ignored people all over the country who know personally how much it matters to have unbiased, quality care at Title X centers—including at Planned Parenthood. Republicans may have ignored them, but Democrats won't.

  14. Grateful for the work of people like , who are working hard to get parents reliable info about the importance of vaccination. We must help people in WA & across the country understand that vaccines are a safe way to keep their families healthy.

  15. We won't stop fighting to make the Trump Administration do the right thing—end their immoral and dangerous policy of detaining pregnant women and make sure pregnant women get the medical care they need. We won't stop fighting to give these women .

  16. I'm proud to celebrate by saluting all the amazing women worldwide who continue to inspire me and others as they work to make a difference in their communities, expand opportunities, and fight to break down barriers for women.

  17. Yesterday I released a memo highlighting statements from people across the country that were submitted in strong opposition to the Trump Admin's rule that once again undermines women's access to health care. If this is a fight that Republicans want—we're ready.

  18. It’s disappointing that the Trump Admin hasn’t reversed course on its heartless policy of detaining pregnant women. This week, I reintroduced the Stop Shackling & Detaining Pregnant Women Act to end this immoral policy & make sure pregnant women get the medical care they need.

  19. Under the Child Care for Working Families Act: - middle-class parents would pay at most 7% of their income on child care - parents who make less than the middle-class level would pay less - many parents would pay nothing at all
