HOT TAKE
Government employees should work mostly in person

This statement is false, @GovInslee knows that it is false, and the media knows that it is false. This "agreement" is a partisan attack on Eastern WA residents and farmers, and does not "secure" anything except more campaign donations from extreme environmentalists for Democrats.
Today's historic agreement helps secure the future of our iconic salmon and represents a plan forward to secure the long-term economic, energy and salmon recovery needs of our region. whitehouse.gov/briefing-roomβ¦

This is what @SenMarkoLiias proudly thinks is worthy of spending your tax dollars on for his winter holiday - turns out if you drive slower in winter, you have fewer accidents.
Had to use your money to take his massive carbon footprint to Finland to learn that.
Really.
Shift Washington retweeted
Will @MarkoLiias tell his taxpaying constituents how much this vacation is costing, who is paying for his trip, and who has joined him on this junket?
Or will the morally bankrupt Senator just keep laughing in the face of those paying for his holiday journey?
Guess which one...
Just landed in Helsinki for our weeklong traffic safety visit! Too bad @dospueblos couldnβt join to cover the trip and enjoy the 20Β° weather and severe snow/ice warning π₯Ά
Iβll plan to post some updates along the way since this trip generated so much interest a few weeks ago.

Before anyone contributes, @BobFergusonAG should say whether he agrees with @PramilaJayapal's comments on Hamas and rape.
After all, Bob claims to be a "progressive", and Rep. Jayapal is the chair of the Progressive Caucus in DC.
Bob, if you want the money, where do you stand?
This is the final push before Washington state law requires state elected officials like me to shut down all fundraising until the legislative session concludes next spring.
Please make your contribution before 11:59 PM on December 8th!

This recommendation is the type of thing that @SenMarkoLiias is flying to Finland to learn about.
Seems some people can come up with ideas without taking a foreign junket.
How about learning locally and stop wasting taxpayer money, @MarkoLiias? Or admit who is going with you.

How many WSDOT employees will it take to plow a clear path for @SenMarkoLiias to take his taxpayer-funded holiday shopping trip to Finland next month?
Please provide the names of your travelling partners @MarkoLiias so their constituents know who shares your climate hypocrisy.
WSDOT is working hard to ensure our roads are clear and safe while youβre traveling this holiday season. Keep an eye on their website for travel updates, stay clear of plows, and pack chains for potential snow. wsdot.wa.gov/about/news/2023β¦

This is the worst statement on Israel I have seen yet, this time from @ShastiConrad and @washdems
Nothing about getting back the hostages
No condemnation of Hamas terrorists
The party left you my friends. Time to #WALKAWAY

Experts estimate that Olympia's deeply flawed Cap & Trade program is adding at least 50 cents/gallon in compliance costs for gasoline - nearly 4x more costly than predicted.

The long-term care tax, sponsored by Legislative Democrats, will likely be raised soon after it takes effect July 1st. Legislative Republicans argue that we must repeal this insolvent tax hitting every WA worker (SB 5479). #waleg #UnaffordableWA

You know who didn't behave like this and hide behind female staffers when confronted by Choe on this very topic? @MayorofSeattle.
#EXCLUSIVE: Earlier today, @kcexec dodged my questions about the HOMELESS MEGAPLEX he's trying to RAM through #Seattle.
#Chinatown-ID is begging him to put a moratorium on project until public comments are gathered. This is a TOP 3 story in the city. We need more MEDIA on this.

The @EverettHerald asked the @MurrayCampaign and I to do a joint, in-person debate today.
Like she always does, my opponent refused. Sadly but predictably, the Herald caved to Murray's demands for separate Zoom interviews.

With the dramatic increase in gas prices, it is not surprising that some legislators who bragged about increasing gas prices to reduce CO2 emissions now pretend they didnβt do that.
