@BankofAmerica because of your bad banking app, I double paid my credit card balance today. I just spent 45 minutes on the phone. I will get a check for 1/3rd of it in 10 days, and the balance within the next 2 months. Ridiculous. Aren't you a bank? Just send my money back

@iamyola @AMAs @ABCNetwork So cool! @iamyola we used to play in a band at school together in Bristol . Live in seattle now - keep getting unlucky when you play in town. Will keep trying to see you. Love your music, your voice is incredible.

3 years ago when I ran for State Senate I was told it wasn’t my time.

I won in a landslide despite being outspent 4-1.

People think I’m the underdog in this race.

I think the opposite is true.
