I've created this account to see what Bluesky is about. It appears to be a polite society version of X (aka Twitter). We'll see how the feed is over time.

It was a pleasure to welcome President Hilda Heine of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to Washington state. The United States and the Marshall Islands share a special relationship, and Washington is proud to host the second largest Marshallese population in the U.S.

One of the most important parts of my job is hearing from YOU.

This Tuesday, March 11, join my telephone town hall for an update on what Democrats are doing to fight back and to have your questions answered live.

@murray.senate.gov would you consider holding a town hall in Richland, Washington, since our 4th congressional district congressman Dan Newhouse is too much of a coward to do so? The March recess is coming up. PLEASE HOLD A TOWN HALL so we can voice our concerns and rail against our GOP congressman.

Thank you to the over 14,000 constituents who joined my telephone town hall last night!

My office has received thousands of calls and messages from concerned constituents, and it was great to have Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown join me to help answer your questions.

Local news deserves high marks for coverage of the doge fallout Reporters are telling gripping human stories, connecting the dots from DC to main street, going beyond acronyms to explain what government agencies do & giving voice to concerns of regular people

@newsjennifer.bsky.social on the gripping and impactful DOGE reporting by local news outlets: "It would be both ironic and so very American if the rich and powerful oligarchs were finally stopped by the underfunded newsrooms and working-class reporters." jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/local-news...

Opinion | A Book Club for Bewildered Democrats Democrats will have no shot at containing Trump if they don’t first understand why voters turn to him.

"Democrats have been ineffective so far at holding Trump accountable, and he will do much more damage in the coming years unless we liberals figure out how to regain the public trust," our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.

We all know they track us. Make it hard on them. Maybe delete Google Maps and Apple Maps. Oh, man. Google owns Waze?? Yup. Choice is an illusion. Try downloading Magic Earth. I did. It added to my newfound serenity.

I agree that weekends would improve turn out. I think this date was chosen because Trump will give his State of the Union Address on that evening.

Does "commit to use must-pass bills to defend our constitution, our data, & our services" mean to withhold support of such bills until the rule of law is reestablished?
