I've had hospitals tell me that one uninsured person can cost millions of dollars by just constantly coming to the hospital. So when Republicans take away health insurance for 15M Americans, they are increasing costs for everyone.
We need to keep people covered to help reduce costs for everyone.

The world should condemn the senseless and horrific attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. Our world should respect all religions. Jewish people should feel safe in their own communities every single day, but especially as they celebrate their holidays.

Today I toured flooding damage in Snohomish County. We're hearing that everybody worked together, first in the preparation and planning, and then in the execution and cooperation. Give the community the tools, and the community will respond.

I just got off the phone with the National Weather Service and am alarmed to hear that the Skagit River will peak 4-5 feet above the record crest level. Please please please stay alert and follow evacuation orders. This is not just another flood.

Washington state produces amazing agricultural products that the whole world wants to buy, but Trump’s tariff chaos is sabotaging decades of hard work winning overseas shelf space. Washington farmers don’t want a meager bailout, they want to be able to export their goods across the globe. (1/2)
President Trump is proposing a $12 billion farm aid package, a White House official says, as the sector grapples with China tariffs.
This post replaces an earlier one that incorrectly attributed the connection to tariffs to the official.
