I’m supporting a constitutional amendment with three of my colleagues to stop abuse of the pardon power: no self-pardons, no shielding family or insiders, and no corrupt get-out-of-jail-free cards.
The rule of law matters.

One reason why Republicans won't extend expiring ACA subsidies?
Koch-backed lobby groups have spent over $1.1M pressuring GOP lawmakers to let 20M Americans' health insurance costs go up.

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.
So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Trump and Republicans are trying to BAN states from regulating AI by slipping a ban into any bill they can.
So if WA state, or any state for that matter, wants to protect kids, protect people's privacy, or protect their jobs—they'll have their hands tied.
No way.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
