UPDATE: Joanne finally received her procedure yesterday after waiting in pain for 6 weeks for no reason. It shouldn’t take a Member of Congress highlighting your case to get it approved. Seniors have earned their Medicare benefits. Companies using AI shouldn’t stand in their way.

The Supreme Court heard a case last week that could make it harder to vote by mail. WA permits ballots to be counted if postmarked by Election Day but delivered after. The court could force state officials to reject ballots that arrive after Election Day, even if postmarked on time.

I visited the Northwest ICE Detention Center in Tacoma to exercise my Congressional oversight duty. Lawmakers must have access to these facilities to ask questions & get answers from ICE & GEO, the private company that operates the facility.

Great to stop by Farine, one of our great local cafes, to try my hand at latte making & connect with constituents.

Meryl Streep is right. The SAVE America Act would make it harder for women to vote, requiring more paperwork for married women & others who changed their name. Women deserve to have their voices heard at the ballot box.

Small businesses are paying the price for tariffs. I held a roundtable with local Shopify merchants in Bellevue to learn how these policies are impacting them.

The Republican budget proposal reveals their true priorities. Instead of lowering costs for families, they want to waste taxpayer money on Trump’s ballroom & fund ICE without reforms.

According to a new report, consumer sentiment is at all-time low. Americans aren’t spending more because of a strong economy. They’re spending more because of Trump’s failed policies, which have sent prices skyrocketing.

Families are struggling with high prices in WA & across the country. Food, housing, health care, & energy costs have all gone up under Trump. Instead of lowering costs, Republicans in Congress continue to rubber stamp the president’s agenda.

Great to gather with young artists in our community & celebrate the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Congratulations to Tina Zhao, this year’s winner!!

On this day in my crochet (and college) history, 1-23 years ago! At the end, I have an assorted group of college memories. At the 2 minute mark are pics of me on stage in the production that this recording is from. I played Cain. That’s me getting murdered by Abel. So that’s me singing Scarlatti.

The U.S. is preparing for new military strikes against Iran Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump announced he would not be attending Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding this weekend. 😯

Junk mail meets the shredder. #idpol #idleg #idgop

The ultrafascist clown is wanking on FOXNEWS. The reality. Iran won the war. Iran controls the SoH. The US of A has to accept this and she will lose all bases in the region. By the way, he threatens nuclear strikes once again, but that's how it is, I guess. Our great NATO 'partner'.

We are finally back with the dub of #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm! I'm gonna say flat-out what we're all thinking: that Asuna guy is shady AF. No doubt he's gonna be trouble. On the other hand, seeing Asa so goofy around her brother is something I'll never get tired of. She will get that hug one day.

Why does ideological certainty feel like reality, even when it narrows our view? Ideology feels like reality. Certainty crowds out curiosity. That is the risk. #Curiosity, #Mindset, #Leadership

A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4¢ while ignoring the $1.50 problem. That's politics, not policy. And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. Some just hope you don't.

Good morning, y'all! Happy Hump Day! Well, I guess it's Hump Day, even though it's a short week. OK, that's too much thinking this early in the morning..... 🤪 I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during a static-fire test last night. The launch site is destroyed. The investigation takes months. Then you rebuild, re-certify, relaunch. What this actually delays: Amazon's first LEO internet satellites.
