Morning tea: a 2021 Liu Bao Hei Cha (dark fermented tea) from Guangxi. Earthy, moving to dark chocolate with sea salt, ripe fruits & a sweet, slightly sour finish. Gives a relaxed, calm energy. “Compassion is a verb.” -Thich Nhat Hanh

NEW: Voting rights advocates joined 23 blue states in urging SCOTUS to uphold a block on Trump's executive order attempting to restrict mail voting ahead of November's vote. They warned that lifting the block less than 100 days before the midterms would sow chaos and risk disenfranchising voters.

Morning tea: a wonderful blend of Jin Junior Mei, a black tea, and expertly dried rose buds. From Fujian. Chocolate, brownies with burnt edges, roses. Gives a calm easy going energy . “Some days the bravest thing to do is keep going.” -Charles Schultz

Alongside our entire Congressional delegation—Democrats & Republicans—I'm calling on the President to approve our state's request for an expedited emergency declaration. We need every bit of support we can get to fight the devastating fires we're seeing in Eastern & Central WA.
