Happy 136th birthday to Washington state. My ancestors homesteaded along the Skagit River. My great-great-great uncle James Watson and his wife Cecelia dedicated themselves to their work at the School for the Deaf in Vancouver when Washington was still a territory.

I’m from a family of veterans. My dad was a Navy veteran. Both my grandfathers and many of my uncles served. Our state is home to almost 500,000 veterans who exemplify the best of our state.
Thank you for your service.

It is breathtaking that the Trump Administration has fought so hard to keep food from hungry families.
However, here in Washington state, we've caught up on the SNAP benefits that were delayed due to the shutdown. We're now delivering full benefits.

It was an honor to help celebrate Lenny at the unveiling of his statue at Climate Pledge Arena this summer. He was a giant in Seattle sports, but cared even more about giving back to the community.

We’ve worked hard to get benefits out as quickly as possible. Thanks to our dedicated team, we have gotten funding to hundreds of thousands of Washington families. Everyone who receives SNAP benefits should check the status of their cards – if there are funds available, people can use them.
November SNAP benefits are beginning to flow to Washington households.
Thanks to multiple lawsuits, and repeated court orders, hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians across our state finally have the SNAP benefits they need to put food on the table.

In 1909, Dr. Cora Smith Eaton climbed Mt. Rainier with a “Votes for Women” banner.
A year later, on November 8th, women in Washington state won the right to vote – the 5th state to do so, and 10 years before the 19th amendment.

I recently signed an executive order kicking off a campaign to increase FAFSA completion rates.
Today, our advisory board, which includes college and high school students, had its first meeting.
Far too many students don’t fill out the form. We're going to change that.

Great to see construction on the new 350-bed forensic hospital at Western State this week. Single rooms, more capacity, moving us toward federal certification, and huge for us on many levels.
We must have treatment that matches the scale of the behavioral health crisis.

President Trump has now been ordered to pay full SNAP benefits by Friday, after attempting to delay partial payments for "political reasons" according to a federal judge.
Washington state will keep working to be ready to get benefits to people as fast as possible when funds are available.

As Attorney General, I adopted a Tribal consultation policy to ensure we sought consent before starting a project that could affect Tribes.
I signed an executive order adopting a similar process for our state agencies.
Tribal consultation must be more than checking a box.

President Trump's tariffs are unlawful, and already wreaking havoc on Washington's economy and our businesses' ability to plan for the future.
LATEST: Supreme Court appears skeptical of President Trump's use of an emergency law to impose tariffs, though some conservative justices seemed sympathetic to his case.
Trump tariffs showdown reaches the Supreme Court
The justices will hear oral arguments on whether the president had the authority to issue sweeping tariffs under a law reserved for use during times of emergency.

We must keep our ports competitive despite President Trump’s chaotic trade policies.

Donald Trump is raising prices with his reckless tariffs.
Now, he’s trying to import just enough beef from Argentina to hurt ranchers, while not actually making a difference in the price of beef! He's ripping off Washington ranchers to help another country's president.

President Trump plans to quadruple beef imports from a political ally in Argentina, ostensibly to lower prices — a reversal of his "America First" campaign promise.

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...
