I appreciate the Colville Business Council for taking the time to meet with me in Nespelem. Hundreds of thousands of acres of their reservation have been impacted by fires. I announced today that the federal government granted my request for an emergency declaration...

Yesterday afternoon, I made a request for an emergency declaration and direct federal assistance as we fight devastating wildfires in Washington state. This morning, we had a call with FEMA representatives. We have not received word yet that's been granted. However, FEMA is already moving...

Universal healthcare. ("Heal the sick.") Affordable housing. ("House the homeless".) SNAP and EBT. ("Feed the hungry.") Clothing Allowances for the underprivilleged ("Clothe the naked.") You know, stuff we'd be doing if we were actually a "Christian Nation". 🤷‍♂️

While the working class struggles to make ends meet, the proposed $1.5 TRILLION DOLLAR war budget propels the U.S. into more endless wars to enrich weapons and tech billionaires. What would you fund instead of war? ➡️ cutthepentagon.org

I don't know how accurate these numbers are but I'm hearing that upwards of 450,000 acres have been burned or are burning across Eastern Washington State with at least 6 major fires in addition to the Spokane blaze. This is unreal.

people who aren't from here don't understand that central and eastern washington have a SEMI-ARID climate. it's not at all like the rainy western part of the state (and we have fires there, too). the east side of the cascades is a tinderbox in the summer. from cnn yesterday:

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson implemented a statewide state of emergency and burn ban Saturday morning as the National Weather Service issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning across Central and Eastern Washington – a rare designation reserved for the most severe fire weather conditions.

This marks the first time the weather service has issued such a warning in Washington, meaning “new fires can grow out of control rapidly, our aircraft response may be limited by wind and smoke, and our already taxed wild land firefighters will be in more dangerous conditions,” the Washington Department of Natural Resources said.
