May the Lord protect Rick Steves 💚♥️

The last thing our veterans need is FEWER people making sure they get the health care they need. This is a grossly short-sighted decision by Secretary Collins. We need answers and accountability.

I told Trump's trade ambassador that Trump's insults and trade war have driven away Canadian visitors and dealt a serious blow to Washington state's economy. There is quite simply NO reason for this. We should not be picking fights with our close friends and allies. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Very confused December berry.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

One of the strangest things I have seen.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I have a bill! I picked Saturday but am open to a friendly amendment. 👻https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5159&Year=2025&Initiative=False

That is like half a ballroom!

Not generally a Ronald Reagan fan but he was right about tariffs. Canada is a good neighbor, has been for years but especially now is that friend who points out when we are in a relationship with a narcissistic economically illiterate baby. www.seattletimes.com/business/tru...

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

On Day 8 of the Republican shutdown I want to be clear: Democrats are still here. We are still at the table. And we are still ready to work together on a deal to reopen the government and address this health care crisis.

Think of the 79 year olds in your life. How would you feel? I am shaking.

Californians — don’t take medical advice from President Bleach. Trust your doctor.

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.

I condemn Charlie Kirk’s murder. Political violence has no place in the U.S. It is sickening. I extend condolences to Charlie Kirk’s family as they grieve this tragic loss.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Canadians have HEART! So much heart: Before Wednesday night's game in Toronto between their Blue Jays vs our Minnesota Twins, the whole stadium, (42,000+), observed a moment of silence for the victims of the mass shooting at Annunciation Church and School in south Minneapolis. Thank you Canada!

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

It is primary day! Have you turned in your ballot?

“We cannot claim to be the party of law and order while turning a blind eye to financial crimes committed under the banner of Republican leadership,” Kremer said. Correct but that list of crimes needs to be much longer: Epstein, Jan 6, lying to congress, defying judges….

Sitting at a bar in Denver eating tacos and the guy next to me is getting ready to run for office (as a 💙). Makes me feel good about what can happen in 2026! 🗳️💙🧢🏃‍♀️

The economy got half a percentage point smaller last quarter

According to a 2022 study, people with low financial literacy were significantly more likely to engage in expensive credit behaviors. But financial behavior can be improved, says guest writer Adam Wright, by teaching people about budgeting, credit, interest rates and investment vehicles.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Field reporting… Can confirm there are bees… (See story below @cascadiadaily.com)

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

EPC priority bill, #HB1670, the Sewage Spill Right-to-Know Act, was signed into law this weekend! 🎉 This is a win for public health. #waleg

Congratulations to Bremerton! Opposition to parking reform is a mile wide but an inch deep.
