what Trump’s leadership looks like in real life:

This is what Trump’s leadership looks like in real life: * A voter suppression bill that could make it harder for eligible Americans to cast a ballot. * Endangered whales and sea turtles are put at risk for more offshore drilling. * A new attack on vote-by-mail, the system Washingtonians have trus…

re: calling out climate denial

This is exactly why we need Maria Cantwell in the Senate. She’s willing to go toe to toe with the Trump administration, call out climate denial for what it is, and say the things too many people in Washington, DC are afraid to say. While too many politicians are still burying their heads in the sa…

Do you believe climate change is real?

I need you with me

Trump and his Administration have spent this month pushing one reckless attack after another. They’re trying to destroy vote-by-mail, a system Washingtonians have trusted for decades. They’re backing the SAVE Act, which would make it harder for eligible Americans to vote. They’re attacking endang…

It’s Maria with one last message before tonight’s deadline. In just a few hours, our FEC report will be finalized and made public. And I’ll be honest: we’re still a bit short of where we need to be. I’ve been on the Senate floor fighting to protect voting rights, lower costs by pushing back on re…

More baseless claims

Instead of presenting a plan to lower costs for Americans (as he promised to do), Trump used his State of the Union address to spread more baseless claims about our voting system. He even called upon Congress to pass the SAVE AMERICA Act because "cheating is rampant in our elections." Despite inde…
