Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.
Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.
When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.
Washington state's economy was just ranked 2nd in the country by WalletHub.
That's no surprise. We have the 9th largest economy in the nation. We dominate in space industry manufacturing. We had the largest increase in the country in requests to form new businesses.
And our state continues to grow, with U-Haul rankings showing that Washington state ranks 6th for gaining one-way movers.
We're going to keep continuing this progress by investing in our roads and bridges, building more housing, and making our tax system more fair.
AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge.
The wealth it generates must benefit humanity — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other AI oligarchs.
That’s why I’ll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act — to give the public a direct ownership stake.
MAGA hates working people.
It’s a disgrace that nearly 20 GOP states still have a $7.25 minimum wage.
In California, it’s $25 an hour for an entire sector of workers! As it should be.
Elon Musk: “AI and robots will replace all jobs.”
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft: Most white-collar work “will be fully automated" in 12-18 months.
Dario Amodei, Anthropic: AI is a “general labor substitute for humans.”
Congress must act NOW to protect American workers.
James Carville on Trump: “Please let this son of a bitch stay alive and cognizant through at least m the middle of November this year. If he has still got his wits about him, he’ll get the fuck out of there and leave cause his life is gonna be so goddamned miserable”
Your neighbor didn't raise your rent. Your coworker didn't gut your pension. Your kid's teacher didn't rig the tax code.
Billionaires did. And they're counting on you to blame each other.
I spent two hours yesterday at Delaney Hall in Newark where 700 detainees are being held by ICE. What I saw and heard was horrific: worm-infested food, no access to medical care, no way to connect with their families.
Many of the detainees were lawful visa holders, including one 18-year-old who is missing her graduation and prom because she is being held in a cell.
This is not America. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop now.
Whoops! Earlier this week, while running down the stairs in a rush, I tripped and ended up breaking my ankle—I wouldn’t recommend it. 🙃
Next week, I’ll be back at the Capitol for votes and hearings and doing everything else I can to be a voice for Washington state in the Senate—I’ll just be swapping one of my tennis shoes for an ankle brace for a bit.
Whether on foot, crutches, or wheels—I have no doubt I’ll still be one of the fastest Senators, and I hope to be speed walking through the halls of Congress again very soon.
I also want to express my deep gratitude to the staff at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center for their excellent care and treatment.
I think one of the biggest challenges of democracy is that we’re asking short-term leaders to solve long-term problems. Decades of policy choices have compounded into a crisis cost of living crisis that can’t be solved in one term.
🚨HOLY SMOKES: Trump spent weeks calling on Iranians to rise up and overthrow their government.
They didn’t.
Instead 8 million Americans rose up against his.
In 3,000 cities. On the same day.
The regime change he wanted happened in the wrong country’s streets.
Iran’s Foreign Minister said the people being killed are dying because Trump wants to have fun.
8 million Americans said they’re not having fun.
Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. DC. San Francisco. New York. London. Tel Aviv. Scotland. San Diego.
The uprising came home.
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that we Americans don't owe allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.
Happy No Kings Day!👑
Protest loudly, and peacefully.🙏💪
Bruce Springsteen is currently playing to a #NoKings crowd of over 200,000 people in Saint Paul Minnesota right now!
Trump is using government to hurt people who disagree. That is what kings do to scare others. We will not be scared. We will not be silent.
🚨NEW: Robert De Niro at a No Kings rally: “It’s time to say no to Donald Trump. We’ve had enough. No corrupt leader enriching himself and the Epstein class buddies. Trump has to be stopped."
RETWEET if you stand with De Niro against Trump!
Great to join the No Kings protests in Shoreline and Edmonds today. It’s inspiring to see so many people peacefully standing up for our democracy. As long as I am Governor, Washington state will never bend the knee to Donald Trump.
Pope Leo XIV on Palm Sunday, forcefully denounces those who use God to justify war: “Brothers and sisters, this is our God, Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them saying “Though you make many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.”
