		My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.If you’re with us, donate to her campaign here: secure.actblue.com/donate/social-bfp-july-2024-v2

		The interests of Eastern Washington will not be served by a Trump/Vance administration.You know how people are worried about foreign investors buying up US farmland?There's a shady tech company that helps them do that! It's like Uber for buying US farmland, which upends generations of family farms and their communities. And who's one of its investors, profiting off of every sale?J.D. Vance.(link in comments)
