Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Happy Thanksgiving! No matter where we celebrate, it is worth counting our blessings and sharing what we can with others. I'm grateful to the team at 2nd Harvest for putting food on tables across #WA05. 2-harvest.org?form=donate&...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Grateful to the Garfield County Democrats for welcoming me to their #Thanksgiving potluck. As the days grow colder and the nights get longer, breaking bread as a community and discussing solutions to shared concerns is a real gift. And the Pomeroy Golf Course is a hidden gem! #WA05

From birth to old age, Washingtonians depend on Apple Health (Medicaid) for essential care. The GOP's budget bill does nothing but make it harder for families and seniors to get the care they need. From increasing health care costs to closing rural hospitals, this bill puts our communities at risk.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“But democracy…requires accepting that some things are not subject to popular vote.”
“So here is what I believe,there are rights that majorities cannot touch. Freedom of speech, even speech that offends. Religious liberty, even for minority faiths. Equality before the law, even when inequality would be more efficient. Privacy, even when surveillance promises security”.

A community distressed by announced staff cuts turned out for the East Adams County Hospital Town Hall in Ritzville this weekend. The hospital is one of 11 critical access hospitals in #WA05 - essential care providers and employers without which their communities would wither.

Narrowing the range of information about the world by (1) slashing and demoralizing U.S. intelligence and diplomatic operatives and (2) alienating allies and partners — undermines national security. It’s not making America great, but it’s a great bonus to our competitors.
Colombia's suspension of intel cooperation and the EU's plan for its own intel cell point to the same problem: allies fear U.S. intel will be used for unlawful or unethical actions, not shared security. Our assessment warned that politicized intel and erosion of oversight would have global fallout.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Happy 250th Birthday, Devil Dogs! Working with U.S. Marines was a highlight of my career with the DOS, and I was grateful to know that visiting family and friends were always welcome. Those who serve abroad know how important it is to maintain ties to home. #USMC250 #USMC #WA05

I commend Governor Ferguson's commitment to deliver SNAP benefits to the 880,000+ beneficiaries in Washington state in full. The President is weaponizing hunger and withholding funds that could put food on empty plates.
This morning, we received guidance from the federal government on how to administer partial SNAP benefits. That guidance indicates SNAP recipients will get 50% of their usual benefits.
Despite the president's callous social media statement this morning, we're proceeding full steam ahead...
