Something strange happening with Washington EPA’s Air Quality Monitoring. It says the air is clear, but I smell smoke and it doesn’t look good. Looks like it was 6 days ago. Reported numbers appear inaccurate. Sensors need to be recalibrated, or maybe data is being tampered with. Check Purple Air.

Happy to have Senators Murray representing Washington State in these moments. The GOP doesn’t care about poor or working class people.

I’m happy that our Senators are holding the line to protect our healthcare and won’t back down. Republicans need to start representing the working class instead of billionaires.

“Former aide to Senator Harry Reid wants to put the last nail in the coffin of the Democratic Party.” There, I fixed the title. The think tank is completely out of touch with reality and the base of the party. I’d say this was a joke, but it seems to be the norm for establishment (privileged) “Dems”

My family escaped Ukraine from the pogroms and were lucky enough to escape to the US. They took my family in — we had nothing and offered nothing, but a desire to get ahead and be free while being safe. This is a country of immigrants, and we should be honoring that history.

I'm sorry Congresswoman. You can't simultaneously declare your objection to sweeps while also endorsing a mayor in your own city who has aggressively swept your constituents and slow-walked any meaningful expansion of services. 🤦🏽‍♀️

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

RFK Jr. talks about people with autism in such degrading and dehumanizing terms as if they were unproductive parasites. Then he wants to put them on a government registry?
Just before making the inflammatory comments, Kennedy mischaracterized autism as a “preventable disease.” He then spoke about children, many of whom he claimed “were fully functional and regressed because of some environmental exposure into autism when they’re 2 years old.”
“These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date,” Kennedy said. “Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted. And we have to recognize we are doing this to our children, and we need to put an end to it.”
Autism, the health secretary said, “destroys families.”

Bob was a great AG, responding to threats from the Feds. Thus far, he hasn’t met the moment as Governor. A Governor needs to plan ahead, to prepare and act before a threat appears, so our most venerable are preemptively protected. It seems he doesn’t understand his assignment yet. #TaxTheRich

This is why we need new progressive revenue, including a wealth tax! You're making the argument for us. We have the second most regressive tax structure in the nation wherein our state's poorest citizens pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthiest. Tax the exploiters!

This was the end goal of crypto aligning behind Trump - the crypto economy has very few actual dollars in it and relies on finding new people to hold the bag to get their dollars. The US government is the ultimate bag holder and they’re going to use your tax dollars to bail out crypto owners.
