Jill and I are praying for the victims, their families, and the people of Jacksonville following yesterday’s shooting. As we continue searching for answers, we must say clearly and forcefully that white supremacy has no place in America. Here’s my full statement.

In 2021, Washington passed a capital gains tax aimed at the rich. As of May, the state has raised nearly $850M. All of the revenue will go toward child care, early learning programs, and school construction. The rich are still doing fine. This is how it’s done, folks.

We had higher gas prices last summer before the Climate Commitment Act went into effect! Big Oil wants us to believe climate policy is the reason for the price at the pump because it allows them to maintain their stronghold and continue to rake in billions in profit...

With his first bill in the Senate in 2014, former Sen. John McCoy (D-Tulalip) established Native American Heritage Day in WA — celebrated the fourth Friday of November. When Sen. McCoy passed on earlier this year, it was clear his legacy will live on for years to come. #WALeg

Women should be making their own decisions about their pregnancies and when to start a family—not politicians or judges. RT if you agree.
