    President Trump said he would be proud to shut down the gov if he couldn’t get taxpayer dollars for his wasteful border wall—he’d take the blame for it. Now, w/ hundreds of thousands of workers wondering when they will be paid, it’s up to Republicans to work with us to fix it.

    Workers across the country are the ones who will feel the impacts of President Trump’s shutdown. So many are left wondering over the holiday when they’ll get their next paycheck or when their government will be fully functioning. This was avoidable.

    On behalf of families in WA and across the country who are now left wondering when they’ll get their next paycheck or when their government will be fully functioning, I’m urging Republicans to work with us to do the right thing and re-open the government as quickly as possible.

    This shutdown is truly absurd, and would not have happened if President Trump had simply ignored the 11th-hour taunts of a handful of conservatives and instead moved forward with the Senate’s bipartisan bill.

    BREAKING: Government partially shuts down after Trump, Congress unable to agree on border wall spending.

    This is about people and families. Republicans need to do the right thing here before they hurt workers across the country for absolutely no reason at all.

    This shutdown will hurt relatively low wage earning public servants who will not get paid over the holidays. Whatever our disagreements, holding their pay hostage is just an awful thing to do over Christmas.

    I just landed in DC from home and am headed to vote now against the awful House bill. The Senate already passed a bipartisan bill to fund government and there’s no reason to head to a shutdown.

    Democrats have made it clear that we're not going to support taxpayer dollars being wasted to pay for President Trump's border wall. Republicans need to reverse course and do the right thing before they hurt families and workers across the country for absolutely NO REASON at all.

    The Senate passed a bipartisan bill to keep the government open through the holidays & into the beginning of next year. Pres Trump had a temper tantrum & now we're headed toward a completely unnecessary shutdown. This is truly absurd & no way for a country like ours to be run.

    It's clear that Secretary is more interested in pandering to the NRA than listen to the students, parents, and teachers she is supposed to serve. This is an insult to our students.

    The alarming number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in Washington state and across the country is absolutely unacceptable. We must address this crisis with the urgency it deserves.

    Washington state has the 2nd-highest number of murdered & missing indigenous women and girls in our country—this is alarming & unacceptable. We must do all we can to protect native women & girls, & will put us in the right direction.

    We must keep shining a spotlight on the ongoing threat of sexual assault and harassment on the job. With the results of this report, I’m urging all of my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, to join me in working to make workplaces safe for everyone.

    . released a report on workplace harassment showing just how pervasive this issue is. It’s time for Congress to advance policy that will protect more workers, promote accountability, and prevent harassment. Read the report here 👇

    As more and more brave women and men share their stories of harassment in the workplace, I asked my staff to help explore the ways in which survivors’ stories are leading to change, as well as the large gaps that still remain ➡️

    This is a MUST read. ’s report on workplace harassment shows we're still far from ensuring every person can work in an environment free from harassment & discrimination. Change is happening and I intend to keep fighting for a better workplace.

    Patients don’t want to go back to the days when insurance companies had the power & could discriminate against them based on age, gender, or pre-existing conditions. Let’s be absolutely clear—if this blatantly partisan legal threat goes into effect, that’s the whole ball game.
