Coastal brown bears walking in Misty Fjords National Monument

We came across this coastal brown bear mom a d her cub clamming in Misty Fjords National Monument in May. While mom was super intent on clamming, the cub would get bored and appear at times to pout.

Juneau, Alaska!🇺🇲❤️

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
 
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Some incredibly helpful info from @contrariannews.org

I can't agree more. It's the oligarchs.

I'm so sorry, I enjoyed seeing photos of him. ❤️

I'm in tourism, and for 20 years, we've welcomed people from all over the world to tour Alaska with us. Trump's policies once again are hurting our economy, our friendships, and our reputation.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

What a wonderful read! You and an amazing, talented young woman and I have so much respect for you and your feisty personality. I love that you are you! ✨️❤️

Life on piling

I enjoyed a day of making photographs at Semiahmoo to take my mind off current events. There's beauty out there. Don't forget to stop and appreciate it.

I have no words to express how ugly a move this is. How many peoples lives were saved by the Navajo?

If the Marshals Go Rogue, Courts Have Other Ways to Enforce their Orders Opinion | Even a rogue marshal’s service is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.

"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER.

TOMORROW MORNING: everyone MUST call en masse.

Do you have a recurring donation to your Democratic Senator? PULL IT IF THEY ARE VOTING YES.

We can still fight back!!

YouTube video by Senator Patty Murray Murray Slams House Republicans’ Power Grab Funding Bill & Urges Senate to Pass Short-Term CR

The House GOP's CR gives Trump & Musk a blank check to steal YOUR taxpayer dollars. I won't vote to help two billionaires pick winners & losers.
 
I spoke on the Senate floor about exactly why I'm voting NO—let's pass my bill to prevent a shutdown ASAP.

Done!
