And Washington state's space industry is making it happen - from the thrusters that will guide the Orion spacecraft to and around the moon, to the parachute deployment systems that will return the astronauts safely to Earth. (2/2)
By sidelining protections for species like the critically endangered Rice's whale, manatees, and sea turtles, the administration is putting coastal economies and families on the hook for the consequences of increased oil and gas activity. (2/2)
Gulf Coast communities have already paid the price for offshore drilling with polluted waters, damaged fisheries, and costly cleanups, and this decision risks repeating that history. (1/2)
Today, the Trump administration convened the rarely used “God Squad” and voted to give oil and gas companies sweeping exemptions in the gulf that will strip safeguards from wildlife like manatees, Rice’s whales, and sea turtles.
Washingtonians cherish voting by mail because they know it is secure and convenient, but President Trump’s efforts to interfere with mail-in ballots could cause chaos and disenfranchise voters just months before the midterms. (2/3)
Today's executive order is another alarming attack on Americans' right to vote. (1/3)
BREAKING: President Trump has signed an executive order requiring states to impose stricter mail-in voting rules and directing his administration to create a list of confirmed U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state.
The economy of the Puget Sound is bigger than the economies of 36 entire states – expanded light rail will help ensure it remains a place where people want to live, innovate, and work into the future. (3/3)
In 40 minutes, commuters will be able to get from downtown Seattle to a job in Redmond and it will provide an affordable traffic-free option for getting to the airport or future Sonics games. (2/3)
The completion of @sound-transit.bsky.social light rail across Lake Washington is a historic moment for the region. And just in time for the World Cup! This expanded service will integrate Seattle with the Eastside. (1/3)
Crosslake Connection ribbon cutting
Every American deserves equal pay for equal work. Today – on #EqualPayDay – we’re reminded that women with full-time jobs make only 81 cents for every dollar paid to a man. That’s why I’ve joined my colleagues to reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act and end pay discrimination.
Every WA voter attests they are a U.S. citizen. The penalty for lying is up to 5 yrs in prison &/or a $10k fine. And somehow people think that immigrants who won’t even go to the grocery store, who are afraid take their kids to school, are signing up for a felony by voting illegally?
We never want to see a disaster like this again, which is why I worked with Rep. DelBene to pass a law that’s improved how we recognize and prepare for catastrophic landslide risks. I’m now working to renew and expand that program along with Sen. Murkowski.
I will never forget being there in the aftermath with the community. To the first responders, who searched for and comforted survivors, and those who restored services to areas cut off by the landslide: today we renew our gratitude to you.
Today marks the 12th anniversary of the Oso landslide, a terrible tragedy that suddenly cut short the lives of 43 people. My thoughts are with their families and friends as we honor and remember those we lost.
Nonpartisan election workers across the country say the SAVE America Act will force voters to find all sorts of documentation, and create unworkable chaos on Election Day. Hear their voices:
The SAVE America Act will force any voter who needs to change their registration to go in person to an election office and show proof of citizenship. This will make it harder for senior citizens, rural voters, working parents and so many others to vote. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...
