I just received a call from Mike Pence, thanking Washington state for our efforts to combat the coronavirus.
I told him our work would be more successful if the Trump administration stuck to the science and told the truth.

Not one single question about the climate crisis.
Not one single question about the climate crisis.
Not one single question about the climate crisis.
This is the existential crisis of our time. Not one single question, and that’s completely inexcusable. #DemDebate
I think you’ll like my new stump speech.
In Washington state, we know that voting by mail is the best way to ensure everyone has a safe, secure way to vote. It should be the right of every American across this country
The coordinated smear campaign on Senator is racist and vile. The Trump family is peddling birtherism again and it’s incumbent on all of us to speak out against it.
President Trump's inflammatory and dangerous rhetoric towards Ilhan Omar is jeopardizing her safety. He is deliberately putting her and all Muslim Americans in harm's way.
For those who say that climate action costs too much, look at what climate change is costing California right now.
The president doesn’t understand how electricity works.

Trump on wind energy: "When the wind doesn't blow you don't watch television that night. Your wife says, 'what the hell did you get me into with this Green New Deal, Charlie?'"
The crowd responds with extremely tepid applause.

I’m focused on fighting COVID-19 and against systemic racism. It’s too bad the president isn’t focused on either.
This was supposed to be off the record.
Nearly 90 minutes without a single question about the climate crisis.
That’s completely unacceptable. #DemDebate
It's the climate crisis, John.

I’m a Boomer and it’s time for our generation to do our part to defeat climate change. Ok, Boomers?
(Did I do that right?)
Last year, BP spent $13,000,000 to block climate action in Washington state.
I know you agree that our mission to defeat climate change must continue to be central to our national discussion -- and must be the top priority for our next president. But I’ve concluded that my role in that effort will not be as a candidate to be our next president.

Our national parks belong to every American. Trump is raiding funds meant to improve our cherished lands and wasting them on this ludicrous vanity parade.

What happened in Georgia yesterday is not what democracy looks like.
Every American in every state should be able to vote by mail. We’ve made it a reality in Washington and it’s time to make it a reality across the nation.

We’re still waiting. #DemDebate

Not a single climate change question. Horrifying.
I can’t believe I have to say this, but don’t listen to this President about the COVID crisis. He cannot be trusted.
So early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and organize. Together, we will continue the fight to defeat the climate crisis.
“There is no middle road on the climate crisis. We will either address the problem meaningfully and in accordance with scientific consensus, or we will not.” Well said, .

Asking people to vote in person during a deadly pandemic is voter suppression. Vote by mail is the right of every Washingtonian, and it should be the right of every American.
Thank you, Washington. On to November!
Early to bed, early to rise. Work like hell and organize.
Today, I am proud to endorse for President of the United States. He’ll be a president who believes in science, responds to facts, and understands the responsibility of the office he will soon hold. (1/3) #EarthDay50

Our hearts go out to the families of those killed and injured in El Paso today. We stand with all El Pasoans in the face of this senseless violence, and thank the brave @eppolice officers & first responders. I stand ready to help @ElPasoTXGov and @Mayor_Margo any way I can.
Donald Trump thinks that wind turbines cause cancer. Here in Washington, we know they cause jobs
Thoughts and prayers to the NRA. In Washington, we will continue to fight for commonsense gun safety.
Our next president’s climate plan cannot just be to “rejoin the Paris Agreement.”
America must lead the world in a global effort to defeat the climate crisis.
I agree. We should start by getting you and your white nationalism out of the White House.

In Washington, we’ve proved that vote-by-mail works and works well. It’s safe, reliable, and secure.
Every voter, in every state should be able to vote by mail—especially in the middle of a pandemic.
Climate change is a winning issue for Democrats. That’s it. That's the tweet.

Every time Trump tweets, I'm more energized than ever to vote him out this November.

Sleepy Joe Biden refuses to leave his basement “sanctuary” and tell his Radical Left BOSSES that they are heading in the wrong direction. Tell them to get out of Seattle now. Liberal Governor @JayInslee is looking “the fool”. LAW & ORDER!
My head is going to explode because we still haven’t gotten a question on the climate crisis.

The #ClimateDebate was never about me or my campaign. It was always about solving this existential threat.
I’m out of the race, but I feel stronger than ever — we must have a #ClimateDebate.

Vote-by-mail is the easiest, safest, most reliable method of voting there is, period.
We already know that here in Washington state—and in traditionally red states like Utah, too. This isn't a partisan issue.
More than 24 hours have passed since Trump’s racist attacks on , , and , and not one Republican has stood up to condemn them. Shameful and embarrassing.

No matter who Republicans try and put on the Supreme Court, I want to be clear.
As long as I am governor, pre-existing conditions protections under the Affordable Care Act will be the law of our state and we will defend a woman’s right to choose, no matter what.
We must get off coal completely if we have any chance of defeating the climate crisis.
Wearing a seatbelt isn’t a political statement. Not smoking indoors isn’t a political statement. And putting on a mask isn't a political statement.
This is about following the science and taking care of ourselves and our neighbors. #MaskUpWA
Whenever I walked to the Capitol to vote next to John Lewis, I always felt like I was walking with justice in the flesh. I did not know MLK but I knew John Lewis, and the spirit, and the inspiration, to me were on the same exalted plane. He made us all better. Thank you John.
It is absolutely essential for the future of humanity that we elect leaders who understand, value, and are willing to act on climate science.

Thank you to all the activists who have fought for a #ClimateDebate. You’re on the right side of history.
Together, we’ll make sure the Democratic nominee is ready to confront Trump on his disastrous climate failures and defeat this crisis.
Nothing is more important.
Eight minutes tonight. Seven minutes last night. Fifteen minutes in four hours. The will not address the climate crisis with the urgency it requires. We must hold a #ClimateDebate. Now. #DemDebate2

Let’s be clear: Trump himself has voted by mail many times. He’s not on a crusade against fraud. He’s terrified to his core that if more people vote, America will make him a one-term president.

Impeachment shouldn't be taken lightly, and it shouldn't be about a political disagreement — impeachment should be about a threat to our democracy.
To put it plainly: Of course the president has broken the law. It's time for him to be impeached.
