Today marks Religious Freedom Day, a time to observe and learn the worship of our neighbors. In a time when freedoms are under attack, it’s important to remember that hatred is fueled by ignorance.

For a guy who ran for office saying "I'm the peace candidate" Trump certainly seems more interested in building his own empire.

Today, the homeless population in King County is about 12,000 people, and we need more resources to support these individuals. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s effort to restrict funding to address homelessness.

It’s difficult to afford basic necessities, from groceries to housing. We need a minimum wage that reflects the affordability crisis in our country. Now, more Americans will earn a minimum wage of $15 or more than workers who earn the federal minimum wage of $7.25.

Donald Trump is spearheading a political, pointless investigation into the Federal Reserve, jeopardizing the independence of the agency as well as the financial stability of our country. It is Congress' role to preserve the Fed's autonomy and not bend the knee to an autocratic president.

Rep. Smith: Trump is saying that the law doesn't apply to him. When you have a leader of a country who says, 'I can do whatever I want, no law, international or domestic, is a check on that,' I would challenge someone to explain to me why that isn't an authoritarian fascist approach to governing.
