Lindsey Graham was a smart, funny, dedicated member of the United States Senate whose passion was evident every time he took the Senate floor. No colleague traveled the corners of our world more than Lindsey Graham as he advocated for his positions on foreign policy, defense,

By removing all members of the independent and bipartisan federal Election Assistance Commission, President Trump is making our elections less secure. Only Congress can eliminate the EAC -- but that hasn’t stopped the President from trying to fully disable it. I call on my

The court has sided with the rule of law in allowing health inspectors into the Northwest ICE detention center. Everyone, including contractors to the federal government, need to comply with our state’s health laws for detainees and Washington workers.
