How that guy ever got a reputation for smarts is beyond me. He might have had skills as a statistician but he has the political instincts of a stone.

RFK Jr. must go. Now. He is a sociopath bent on inflicting pain and illness on the country.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): âIf there are any adults left in the White House, itâs well past time they face reality⊠We cannot let RFK Jr. burn whatâs left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the groundâhe must be fired.â
This is one of the most chilling stories about the Trump immigration rampage Iâve yet encountered. The Seattle Times is doing a great service to your readers and the country at large. One of the many reasons I subscribe. Keep up the excellent work.
There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
Essential reading back then. Still essential now.
Camo plus safety vests. Perfect visual representation of the entire debacle.
And everyone will be above average in everything.
I go out to visit my car in the garage every night so that it won't get lonely.
My brain just fell out of my head.
Can I burn a photo of the flag? Burn a version with 14 stripes and 51 stars? A thin blue line flag? Can I burn the Confederate flag? Can I make an AI image of a burning American flag? Can I draw a picture of someone burning a flag and then burn that?
I. Am. Dead.
Washington state is proud to be a welcoming community that values the contributions of immigrants and refugees to our economy and our cultural fabric. We will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations from AG Bondi or President Trump.

My best tweet ever was âLetâs put the cialis in socialismâ and Iâm still mad it didnât go wildly viral
It gives to those who lobby and takes from those who labor. A brilliant aphorism.
In robbing bank, John Dillinger sidesteps financial norms.
We're clinging to our guns and our god.
The Big Ugly Bill makes the most significant cut to Medicaid in American history, hurting members across our community. Cierra from Bonney Lake shared how Medicaid is a lifeline for her family and how these cuts will impact their access to healthcare. Read more about what she had to say below.
Klaxon call to militias to carry weapons in the city.
"Imagine the impact if, wherever these patrols appear,they are met by larger numbers of citizens making clear they are not needed and not wanted. Show up. Stand together. And drive home the message with numbers and tenacity: Trumpâs emergency is not our emergency." open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...
Thatâs exactly what it is.

I was the first AG to challenge President Trumpâs efforts to trample our Constitution in court â and the first AG to defeat him. My team and I won in court 55 times. AG Bondi, if you choose to challenge me and my state, be advised that we will defeat you and seek all appropriate costs and fees.
Real populist street cred here.
Oh lookâ @andrewcuomoâs memes guy, who just bragged about his role in this dumpster fire đ„ of a campaign (as he called @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social an âidiotâ)⊠also bragged about being ANTI-UNION. What a surprise! That should go over great in NYC. đ
The Conformist is brilliant, and deeply unsettling to watch in our current state of fascist surrender.
I recommend Sarah Kendziorâs Hiding In Plain Sight, and They Knew. Exhaustively researched, enraging and depressing, they detail exactly how and why Garland, among many, many others let Trump get away unscathed. Both books are essential reading.
Where have I seen that style of Sharpie signature before? Thinking, thinking...
Tell them General Sherman says âHi!â
Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee spent four years and hundreds of thousands of lives trying to occupy Washington, DC. MAGA accomplished it without firing a shot. South Carolina was the first state to secede. If South Carolina troops are the first in DC, let that symbolism not be lost on anyone.
South Carolina is, in Charles Pierceâs trenchant phrase, the home office of American sedition. Now itâs sending troops into DC.
How long before someone decides to use force to protect themselves, or others? Self-defense is justified if there is a reasonable belief of imminent harm, and the force used is proportional to the threat faced.
I donât need a Russian dictator to lecture me about clean elections.
Letâs hold a memorial for that guys brain cells.
You are not, and never have been, nuts. Quite the contrary.
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.
You and me both.
Does Patel ever not look like he's lighting farts?
We are at the point in this country where military personnel & law enforcement personnel & government officials need to say no to the tyrant. We are at the point in this country where Americans serving in government need to disobey his orders. Weâre well past that point.
Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldnât have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be ârepealed,â and women should âsubmitâ to their husbands: âAll of Christ for All of Lifeâ
I can definitely feel it and admitting that is no defense of the (also relatively empty) hellscape that is X. I wish people would use the repost button more than the like button to boost content they appreciate, which might help. Encouraging activity by news media and journalists also might help.
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.đ Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
Just received a survey from WAPO asking my thoughts about resubscribing. I was able to choose editorial independence and political bias among reasons I cancelled. Couldn't finish without choosing a RE-SUBSCRIPTION plan. Whole thing appeared to be a way of getting me to sign up again. Pathetic.
Poor Matt is upset about his pathetic and pointless life.
Elizabeth Warren went to CNBC today and destroyed Donald Trump on the economy. Trump is trying to bury this appearance with a tantrum on his failing media site. Make sure this goes viral instead. www.cnbc.com/video/2025/0...

Thank you.
This âLook forward, not backâ nonsense started with Nixon. Every time it sends us further down the line to unaccountable authoritarianism. You donât âmove forwardâ and ignore major crime sprees.

First, RFK Jr. replaced scientists and doctors with anti-vaccine advocates on the vaccination advisory panel. Now, heâs replacing the doctors on the preventive health task force. Eating more broccoli will not prevent cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine will. uk.news.yahoo.com/rfk-postpone...

Trump's Big Ugly bill will wipe out clean energy investments. It's a giant job killer & utility bills will skyrocket. I'm in Seattle today to make sure people know itâs thanks to Republicans. Meanwhile, Democrats will deliver more jobs, clean energy, and a brighter future.
The Supreme Court will find a way to hold that Dear Leader can revoke your citizenship by wiping his backside with your birth certificate.
Absolutey.
This leaves a cold pit in my stomach.
Water is essential to life on earth, so why are you so worked up about the Texas flood?
Even by Trump standards this is a deranged performance today. And the âreportersâ in the room just play along. Itâs frankly terrifying.
Trump at the Oval Office press availability with Marcos is just spewing incoherent gibberish. Incomprehensible mashup of every random grievance ricocheting around his curdled brain. Gramps canât stop ranting.

It's also long past time for the Times to quit this reflexive mollycoddling of right wing idiocy.
No, it's time for them to get over their precious selves.
Actor Mandy Patinkinâs plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahuâs Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids â but also endangering Jews across the globe.
It's like a black hole of stupidity.
Amen, brother.
His body, our choice.
The Trump Admin attacks her as part of its war on truth. Abetting war crimes doesn't bother them. That's why the facts she reveals are so damaging. She is one of the clearest, most respected, most essential voices on the Gaza slaughter anywhere. We should ensure efforts to silence her backfire.
Likely to blow up on takeoff.

PLEASE READ and SHARE from the CHILDREN'S Hospital Association: âYour childâregardless of their insurance statusâcould see the services they rely on reduced or eliminated... The bill amounts to fewer doctors and nurses to see your child, longer wait times, and sicker children."
Hey @schumer.senate.gov Democrats are âconsideringâ forcing clerks to read the entire megabill on the floor?! This shouldnât be optional. Force the full bill reading. No more âI didnât know what was in itâ excuses. Make every Senator sit through it and own it. @housedemocrats.bsky.social
Thread... I was 19 when 9/11 happened. I lived through post-9/11 hate, the "anti-Shariah" movement, & hype around the Muslim ban. But with Zohran's primary win, I don't think I've ever seen THIS level of Islamophobia & anti-Muslim hate from BOTH GOP and Democrats. And the sad truth is thisâ 1/4
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation Iâve seen. It âs relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.
Keep it up, Senator.
