If full presumed liability is too big for #waleg to swallow in one bite, what if it only applied to pedestrians in marked crosswalks, like in Poland? I think that would have less opposition.

Washington Talking Book and Braille Library will no longer have walk-in hours – access is by appointment only – and also only accepting voicemails – no one answering phones. This is due to illegal cuts to IMLS and failure of the state legislature to backfill the budget. #waleg #disability

Washington State is showing up where the federal government is failing us.
Thanks to the Climate Commitment Act, #WALeg can fund projects all over the state that: make clean energy at home more affordable, make it easier to get around with zero-emission, climate-friendly options, and so much more.

"HB 1409 isn’t just about reducing emissions—it’s about centering equity in Washington’s clean energy transition. This bill ensures frontline communities and diverse small businesses aren’t left behind but are empowered to lead in building a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future,” said Paula Sardinas, Founder, Washington Build Back Black Alliance
#climateleadership #WALeg

Special shoutout to major climate champion, Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon who not only held the line on climate progress, but kept pushing forward, and Sen. Sharon Shewmake, who helped shepherd HB 1409 through the Senate.
We need more climate champs like them in #WALeg
#Climateleadership

Yet another federal attack on all things climate and clean energy.
#WALeg can and should take the lead on our clean energy transition and pick up work on our transmission lines, community charging infrastructure, and more in the next legislative session

There is plenty of work yet to do. But in a year of a big state budget crunch, and attacks coming from the federal level, Washington proved that we will remain a beacon of progress, and we won’t back down on climate action. #WALeg

ACLU of Washington sues Trump administration over efforts to eliminate Head Start #waleg #waedu

Be careful! Some blame #waleg for inaction on tax reform, but that downplays the WA governor’s real power over fiscal policy. Recent events show #wadems shifted course after Gov. Bob Ferguson’s remarks—his influence clearly shaped what did or didn’t get passed. #bobfergusonbetrayal

REQUIRED READING FOR WA Honestly, I think they should just commit to a special session & chain Bob to a desk in the chamber & start over if we could still f'n adopt IDAHO'S existing tax code & make billions with a B. I mean.. IDAHO? Land of the anti-mask law? #taxtherich #waleg 2 days, PPL!
