I love seeing our Governor @govmlg.bsky.social on the national stage for values we share. Universal Childcare and Early-childhood Education is something we’ve worked so hard to achieve. Great leadership matters! #nmpol www.vogue.com/article/new-...

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Congress — not any one president — has the constitutional authority to declare war. Military escalation in Iran puts American troops, our allies, and global stability at great risk. The American people want peace, not another prolonged war.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Top Dems on House and Senate Intel Committees — Jim Himes and Mark Warner, both members of Gang of Eight — were not briefed before the attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, per sources.

Checking on my colleagues today and praying for all state legislators feeling the impact of the MN State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the attempted assassination of Sen John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. We must condemn political violence in all of its forms.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.
