Big news: my @WildOlympics bill got a Senate hearing and picked up dozens of new endorsements from local sportsmen groups and more this week.
This is a big step in our fight to protect key areas of the Olympic National Forest & preserve world-class recreation. Let's keep it going!

While supporting a thoughtful review of #USAID, @SenatorWicker emphasized the imperative of U.S. international assistance in outcompeting China, “I have felt for a long time USAID is our way of combating the Belt and Road initiative.” #ReformNotRetreat

As his time in office winds down, we've got a simple message for our founder and America's climate governor: Thanks, @GovInslee.

@zrottmann Just sounds to me like a lot of people dying in their Elons.

@BrianBonlender This is a correlation study and should be viewed with caution. when controlled for speed of impact shows fatalities are far less. Crash data shows Tesla vehicles have a lower inverse-weighted fatality rate (0.03) vs. other cars (0.07).

Totally agree. Was great to see Oregon crush the Huskies, who killed the PAC12 and convinced Oregon to join them.

We’re starting to say it out loud: ideologues w a misguided notion of equity is what’s really behind this push to close schools. Equity’s important, but lowering standards and cutting choices isn’t the path to real equity - it’s just a race to the bottom.

I agree with Brock Huard:
@UW is responsible for destroying the @pac12 (start listening 9:10).
And today isn’t #applecup

Thank you @PattyMurray for your leadership with #WildOlympics!

I had a great time hiking on the Olympic Peninsula and talking with local leaders about how important it is we pass my #WildOlympics bill to protect this land and natural resources for generations to come.

The party needs a new presidential nominee and can’t rig things for any one candidate.
Sounds like a pretty good plan. search.app/YpZQ5iDH4pfgCk…

Elected governors, senators and house members circle the wagons to protect Biden while the country circles the drain toward Trump.
So many elected Democrats failing to do the right thing for the country and urge Biden to drop out. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

@RepAdamSmith is correct. Biden should step aside. Sadly, other elected democrats are failing a serious leadership test or just out of touch.
Jim Brunner@Jim_Brunner
I spoke w. @RepAdamSmith about his call for Biden to withdraw. He says he called the WH right after the debate to say Biden should step aside. Gave them time to allay concerns. That didn't happen. So he went public. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p… via @seattletimes

IMO, @JoeBiden is a patriot and a dedicated public servant. He defeated @realDonaldTrump Trump when the country needed him.
A diminished Biden will be far better for the country than Trump on his best day.
But it is clearly time to let go of that torch. Do the right thing.
