I have visited the Gaza solidarity encampment at Princeton and have talked to plenty of people who have visited encampments at other campuses. And it is 100% clear to me that they are not antisemitic or even close to it. Anyone who suggests otherwise are deceiving you. The day…

Wonderful joining the Kitsap Mental Health Services board meeting and hearing from the incredible team that makes the “Hope lives here” mission a reality.

I’m proud of the $773K investment Rep. Simmons and I helped secure that will enable KMHS to expand its Bremerton campus🧠💪

Accepting the things I cannot change does not mean approving them.

'Those are mafia margins.' ‼️ The work to make the gig economy better for workers, customers, and small businesses (and Seattle City Council's attempt to roll back important gig industry guardrails) is on Last Week Tonight ‼️

Such an incredible honor!! I miss you and your colleagues already! ❤️
