I’m extremely sorry to hear about the death of State Trooper Guting in Tacoma. Our roads are unsafe, and when that is the fact, we all suffer. My heart and prayers go out to her family and to all our state trooper community.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Thank you so much @wck.org for helping our communities!
WCK teams delivered our first meals in Burlington, Washington to first responders and families impacted by recent severe weather. Residents of nearby Mount Vernon came to pick up sandbags to fortify their homes, and we made sure they also had sandwiches in hand before they left. #ChefsForWashington

Some good news.
I just received a phone call from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Secretary Noem informed me that the president signed our request for an emergency declaration. We have also received written confirmation of that emergency declaration.

Go now means GO NOW. Skagit County friends, make sure to check if your home needs to be evacuated.
Skagit County has issued a GO NOW evacuation order for all residents in the 100-year flood plain. Find out if your home is affected: www.skagitcounty.net/Maps/iMap/?m...

I'm on a call right now with folks at every level of government getting updated on the statewide flooding emergency. This is a very serious event, including in the Skagit River basin. Limit travel, pay attention to warnings, don't drive through water, and if told to evacuate, GO.

Do you want to come chat before session starts? The 36th LD Delegation will be holding a townhall on Monday, December 15 at the Phinney Neighborhood Association, in Room 7. Doors open at 5:30, townhall from 6-7 — I may sing a carol! 🎄

Not to brag but of the 15 House bills that have been pre-filed in the first week of session... 5 of them are mine 😂 🤓 You can track the bills that get prefiled here: app.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/pre...

If you see something you like, contact your legislator to encourage them to co-sponsor. #waleg

🚨Bill Alert 🚨 I just dropped HB 2098, Affordable College for All. This bill would make higher education accessible to all working and middle class families in Washington State by removing an artificial cap the biggest tech companies put on their own tax rates: app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...

Just when you start thinking you're a big deal, you show up to Joint Transportation Committee to find out hat there's no seat for you or the other vice chair so you end up just sitting in the audience 😂 #waleg #humility

Way to go @pwhltorrent.bsky.social — welcome to the magical 36th legislative district (the only one in Seattle with all women elected delegation)! Sorry you didn’t take home the win today, but there will be other games and this town is ready to cheer you on.
SEATTLE SHOWED UP! 🤩

Today's home opener sets the record for the largest attendance for a women's hockey game in a US arena AND the highest attended home venue game in PWHL history!

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

One of the best lines from the @arnoldventures.bsky.social Housing Master Class: “If you don’t want housing in your backyard, be prepared to see it on your front lawn.”

Tent cities and visible homelessness are directly connected to the housing shortages in our communities. #waleg #Seattle

Having a great time at the @arnoldventures.bsky.social Housing Master Class, connecting with bipartisan legislators from across the nation on policy — and not just because Jess Bateman is here! I *rarely* get a chance to attend this kind of PD so it’s a real treat. #housingforall

Minneapolis built more housing than any other major Midwest city & it’s not a mystery why.

They allowed modest density housing types city-wide, cut regressive parking mandates, and made it easier to build apartments near transit.

The results: more homes + slowed rent growth.

One of the weird things about my algorithm lately is it’s showing me a lot of June Lockhart content? I mean I like Turner Classic Movies maybe more than the next lady but no particular allegiance to this actress and it’s *highly* random.
