I had a feeling, so turned on the camera… My friend in this video was with me 30 years ago in Cleveland where we sat in the right field bleachers surrounded by Cleveland fans and saw the Seattle Mariners beat the Indians in Game 3 of the ALCS in extra innings. This is the year! #SeizeTheMoment

I’ve known Maura Healey a long time — I’m not surprised that she more than honored our Super Bowl bet, but we got an unexpected twist. Well played, Governor Maura Healey!

What’s happening with ICE is outrageous. I'm excited to support a bill from Senator Valdez that says you cannot be masked as a law enforcement agent.

Florida’s surgeon general was asked if any studies were done before ending school vaccine requirements. He said no. That’s a shocking answer. If you’re a concerned parent in Florida, come to Washington. We make sure all families have accurate information to make decisions.

No matter how much the president wants us to believe that foreign countries bear the cost of these tariffs, that’s simply not true. There is no scenario in which these tariffs are good for Washingtonians.

I bought some milk from the Mt. Rainier Creamery last week. They're based in Buckley, and they started a pop-up location with Reynolds Trading Co. in Enumclaw after the White River Bridge closure. That's an example of the community spirit and resilience that makes Washington great. Stop by soon to support local businesses while we fix the bridge!

BREAKING: I support a Millionaires’ Tax on income over $1 million a year. The fairness of our tax system ranks 50th. Let’s make this historic change this session. This is a separate proposal from the budget I announced today — revenue would not be realized until 2029.

In Seattle, we're making it accessible and cost-friendly for soccer fans visiting for the World Cup. In other cities, people will be paying a lot of money to get to stadiums that aren't in the downtown core. It's the exact opposite experience here.

I’ve said that any Millionaires' Tax I sign must send a significant percentage of that revenue back to Washingtonians. The Senate came out with a good start. Here's my proposal for cutting taxes on small businesses, getting money to working families, and reducing sales tax.

I find it deeply un-American that individuals in unmarked cars get out in masks and pluck people off the streets. When I reflect on the hundreds of bills this session, I am especially grateful that Sen. Valdez's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing masks reached my desk.

We're bracing ourselves for this being the deadliest industrial tragedy in modern Washington state history. We're going to need every ounce of the resiliency shown by the Longview community going forward. I spoke alongside local and state officials today on our state's response.

We can't talk about our state's budget without talking about the Big Betrayal Bill, which cut essential services like Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. That bill costs Washington at least $165 million directly in this budget. We worked to mitigate those harms.

Our health inspectors have been turned away 10 times at the Northwest ICE Processing Center. We're seeking a court order to get our inspectors into this facility. These are some of the over 3,500 complaints — including food with worms, refusal to give medication, and assault.

Our tax system is way too regressive. Let’s use resources from a Millionaires’ Tax to provide tax credits for Washingtonians and make sure small business owners pay less in taxes.

I'm requesting legislation establishing that if you're not a law enforcement officer, you can't be wearing something that gives the impression you are. I also completely support the concept to ban face coverings for law enforcement officers, which Sen. Valdez has proposed.
