Senator Murray has ALWAYS been a GREAT communicator. www.huffpost.com/entry/patty-....

Rep. Justin Pearson of Memphis is standing up for his citizen’s right to breathe clean air. It is not just climate that suffers, it’s people’s lungs. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Good to have a caring, competent doctor from Washington State calling out Robert Kennedy’s dangerous deceptions about vaccines. www.huffpost.com/entry/congre...

Republican congressmen surely are sweating like everyone else under this heat dome. Unless they change course, they’ll have plenty of reasons to sweat in November 2026 for their reconciliation bill votes that do so much to injure our ant-climate change effort. www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/c...

The Founders understood that America could one day wind up with a walking disaster as president, so they reposed the war making decision in Congress. Man, were they farsighted

Democrats are now lucky to have Washington’s Shasti Conrad as Vice Chair. Good news for the party. Promising news for the Nation.

We have work to do, to counteract the republican insistence on increasing pollution and thereby accelerating the deadly heating of our planet. One, accelerate our state actions building clean energy opportunities. Two, free republican climate deniers for retirement. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/c...

Trump/Musk’s knee capping of science may be the most damaging long term legacy of his deficit busting, climate destroying, corruption enhancing Administration. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Weakening the judicial system’s ability to rein him in, is one of Trump’s top autocratic aims. Kudos to the American Bar Association for standing up against a creeping totalitarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

A boneheaded move by certified conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy in firing as eminent a physician as Dr. Chu, makes you worry less about artificial intelligence and more about natural stupidity. RFK Jr. fires 'Washingtonian of the year' from CDC vaccine panel www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

One if by land Two if by sea We’re coming by ferry For democracy

One King was enough. Two would be too many.

Ev’s are coming on strong, more range, more sales, and more models. Trump is wrong forcing Washington to slow down this progress by abrogating the California clean car rule which we use. Washington shouldn’t have to wait for Mississippi on the road to clean energy. www.virta.global/global-elect...

Leah is exactly right. Every time Trump rips up some environmental protection, he finds another way to force dirty, expensive energy down our throats, this time keeping obsolete coal plants open nobody wants.

Let’s make sure this happens. No Kings in America! Come say so. I’ll be there.

Love the creative juices that can advance the cause of climate! Join us.

It’s so dry in our Washington forrests that fire danger is growing. Things will only get drier, and more dangerous, if the Republicans succeed in gutting our nation’s clean energy efforts. komonews.com/news/local/r...

He sits on his hands while thousands of his minions attack the US Capitol, then arrests a labor leader standing there with his hands on his hips? He’s giving hypocrisy a bad name. Who is David Huerta, the labor leader arrested in Los Angeles? www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

First Trump cuts any program aimed at reducing climate change flooding risk, then cuts previously approved funding for levees. He gets you coming and going. This is beyond infuriating. The hard working people of Hoquim deserve better. So does America. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/u...

On the 81st remembrance of D-Day when defenders of democracy stormed the beaches of Normandy, it is well to not only honor their heroism but also to continue their protection of democracy that is now under attack.

If you like to breathe, there really are few places in the eastern half of the country to escape the impacts of global warming. It cause soil to dry. It increases wildfires. We can run, but we can’t hide. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/w...

Ev’s are safe, cost effective, fun, clean, readily available, coming down in cost and up in range, and legal. Which is what Trump’s stopping ev charger infrastructure is not. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I do not know the whole service record of service of Harvey Milk in the United States Navy, but I do know that he did not let foot bone spurs to keep him from serving. Hegseth orders the name of gay rights activist Harvey Milk scrubbed from Navy ship www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

The Ukrainian’s courage is world class. So is their ingenuity. Now we need an American President to quit groveling and start standing up to Putin. Then peace may be possible. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Killer heat,” may strike the ear as alarmist, but that is exactly what it is. Get ready for several years of killer heat, top weather forecasters warn www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

It’s great to see 11 states forming the Affordable Clean Cars Coalition, a development both so necessary given federal attacks, and so promising given the enormous strides forward of affordable EVs. Plug in! Take off! usclimatealliance.org/press-releas...

As the West dries up, so does federal funding for the clean energy we need to fight the climate crisis. Work on senators, then our states, to take action that trump cannot stop. Snow melting fast in WA, American West www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Trump will try and play the macho man on Pennsylvania Avenue in a few weeks at his birthday parade while he’s a pathetic wimp caving to Putin with nothing but whining in Ukraine today. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/u...

Trump argues the thousands of tons of pollution coming from coal and gas plants aren’t worth worrying about. Tell that to a kid with asthma struggling to breathe. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/c...

Brad Johnson in Hill Heat has the quote of the day, capturing the true depth of the R’s depravity in attempting to destroy America’s clean energy economy; As the maxim goes, you can’t kill the climate without breaking a few democracies.

When eviscerating multiple state clean air/ev laws, not just California’s, the R’s acted unlawfully in several ways, trampled on the inherent state’s independent ambitions, gave our kids dirtier air, ceded markets to China, and denied climate change. See you in court. www.npr.org/2025/05/22/n...

Seldom has one bill killed more jobs, more quickly, in more industries than Trump’s dirty energy bill. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/c...

How did the nation of that put a man on the moon become the only one in the world to ignore science so completely that it withdrew from the Paris Climate Treaty, then dismantle it’s clean energy future? By putting an anti-science cult in charge. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/c...

Dust storms in Illinois, firestorms in California, and windstorms in Missouri, and at the same there is a storm of anti- clean energy mania going on in DC. Its time for R’s to pull their heads out of the drying soil and stand up to Trump’s phobias. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/w...

You can be assured, that if Mount Saint Helens exploded now, instead of 45 years ago, Trump would blame it on hard working immigrants. www.king5.com/article/tech...

You can’t applaud a jailbreak, but you can note a departing guest changed “I Innocent” to “We innocent.” That was changing the “me” to the “we,” a principle of leadership. Hope they are soon back working on leadership in a more constructive way.

Trump’s enviro vandal Zeldin asserts he can ignore clean energy laws passed by a previous Congress and signed by a previous president because Trump was now president. That’s not how it works in America. Maybe Russia. Maybe Hungary. Not here. www.yahoo.com/news/epa-chi...

The more you know about the republican’s efforts to gut the clean energy revolution, the worse they look. Why do republicans want to deny Americans cheaper electricity and cleaner air? Addicted to fossil fuel money? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/c...

When republicans gut America’s successful clean energy efforts they decrease protection against pollution, and increase the costs of electricity. Talk about having it backwards! thehill.com/policy/energ...

It’s amazing how Trump’s ideological blinders, blind him to the plight of those affected by the climate crisis. Is it too much to ask that a president help people injured by heat and flooding?Trump administration pulls plug on UW climate research partnership www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

It would preferable if the Trump FAA radar could find planes instead of focusing on mayors. www.cnn.com/us/controlle...

Washington’s ban on the sale of high capacity magazines I signed in 2022 has always been common sense, and now it is clear it is constitutional as well. Gun ruling: WA high court upholds ban on high-capacity magazines www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

When a president willfully violates an order of the Supreme Court, no-one is safe. www.huffpost.com/entry/kristi...

Elba?

Of the many, one of the most boneheaded moves by Trump is trying to deny Americans access to inexpensive and clean electricity by using abundant wind and solar resources. Glad we have aggressive attorney generals like our Nick Brown to take him to court. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

My call for lawyers to stand up against Trump was vindicated in only a couple of weeks. Congratulations Perkins Coie. www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n...

Tony Evers and Janet Mills makes me proud to have been a Democrat governor. These people are not made of sugar candy. Blow all you want Donnie 2 Dolls, they don’t fall over. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Great to see Governor Janet Mills be vindicated when Trump’s Dept. Of Ag. folded, and restored funding for food programs. Congrats on your courage, Janet. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/u...
