07/07/2022 Tweet - "I cannot think of a more fitting honor for Seattle's @mPinoe than the presidential Medal of Freedom. She has been a champion for equal pay and equal rights, and an inspiration to the people of our state and women and girls everywhere. Congratulations, Megan!"
12/19/2018 Tweet - "With days to go before a completely unnecessary #TrumpShutdown, Republicans have two choices. They can do the right thing and work with us to keep the government open and fund our national priorities. Or they can stand with President Trump."
12/17/2018 Tweet - "Last week, President Trump said he would be "proud" to shut the government down over his wasteful border wall and would take the blame for it--but I'm hoping that Republicans decide to work with us to fund our government and avoid a completely unnecessary #TrumpShutdown."
12/12/2018 Tweet - "Yesterday President Trump said he would be proud--PROUD--to shut down the government if he can't get taxpayers to foot the bill for his wasteful wall. This isn't what our country needs & it's up to Republicans to work w/ Democrats to avoid a #TrumpShutdown."
12/11/2018 Tweet - "I'm heading to the floor to speak against the nomination of Jonathan Kobes and keep up the fight against President Trump's efforts to swing our courts far-right by packing them with ideological judges."
12/11/2018 Tweet - "President Trump said he would be proud to shut down the government if he can't get billions of dollars of American taxpayer dollars for his wasteful wall--and that he would take the blame if he did. Well he's right about who would be to blame--but it shouldn't even come to that."
12/11/2018 Tweet - "Democrats oppose President Trump's wasteful wall. We don't think it makes any sense, we don't think it would make us any more secure --and we don't understand why he is asking American taxpayers to pay for it after promising, again and again, that Mexico would foot the bill."
11/28/2018 Tweet - "Instead of sending our US troops to the border, President Trump should have sent personnel to help process asylum claims and provide medical care. Asylum seekers deserve care and compassion, not tear gas and turmoil."
11/27/2018 Tweet - "Once again, President Trump is trying to create another distraction by threatening a government shutdown over the border wall. But we have shown before that we can work together to fund our government when Republicans push aside his unreasonable demands--and we can do that again."
11/26/2018 Tweet - "Last week the Trump Administration tried to bury the alarming facts found in its new climate report, but there's no hiding that climate change will continue wreaking havoc on our environment & our health unless we start working immediately to address it."
11/13/2018 Tweet - "Acting AG Matthew Whitaker should recuse himself from the Mueller probe because he: - is one of Pres Trump's loyalists - has publicly criticized the investigation This investigation shouldn't be undercut in any way."

11/09/2018 Tweet - "Nobody is above the law in our country--including President Trump."
11/09/2018 Tweet - "Newly-installed Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker has publicly criticized the Mueller investigation and now President Trump has put him in charge of it. Whitaker must recuse himself."
11/09/2018 Tweet - "With President Trump appointing Matthew Whitaker as Acting AG it's even more critical that we protect Special Counsel Mueller. No more delays--a vote on a bipartisan bill to shield this investigation from further political pressure must happen."
11/08/2018 Tweet - "Pres Trump put his loyalist in to oversee the Mueller investigation. It doesn't matter if you're D or R, we should all demand: Acting AG Matthew Whitaker recuse himself from the investigation A vote on bipartisan legislation to shield Mueller from further political pressure"
11/08/2018 Tweet - "People want us to listen to women & to hold this Admin's feet to the fire. I'm going to keep fighting against Pres Trump's ongoing attacks on women's health care." FULL STATEMENT on Pres Trump's latest steps to undermine women's access to health care:"
11/08/2018 Tweet - "Hours after Democrats regain control of the House, Pres Trump removes Jeff Sessions & installs an Acting AG who has publicly criticized the Mueller probe. GOP leaders: no more excuses. Schedule a vote on the bipartisan bill to safeguard the investigation. America is watching."

10/24/2018 Tweet - "Despite their claims, President Trump and the GOP continue working to roll back protections for patients with pre-existing conditions. People across the nation have rejected this backward agenda and I will keep fighting to protect families & patients."
10/24/2018 Tweet - "President Trump lit a fire with his decision to offer #JunkPlans that let insurance companies ignore protections for people with pre-existing conditions, now he's pouring on the gasoline--and Republicans are doing nothing to stop the sabotage."
10/24/2018 Tweet - "I urge Senate Republicans to step back from this mad dash to get President Trump's nominee on the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and step back from the shameful partisan path they have taken on what has always been a bipartisan process."
10/23/2018 Tweet - "While President Trump is focused on scoring headlines with empty words and broken promises, communities on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic are still in crisis. We need to do a lot more to help them recover."
