There's a bill on deck in the state Senate that would lower Washington's estate tax, a $856 million hit to the education legacy trust account through 2031. I am surprised to see this advanced out of committee without a recommendation from Rebecca Saldaña.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop. Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough. Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

Disband ICE and give their budget to the IRS Criminal Investigation branch. Surging these guys in the Hamptons and Palm Beach would reap the greatest benefits for the American public of any law enforcement action.

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.

The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else. The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one. Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

There are very few Democrats that I will not vote for: I voted for and ENDORSED Kamala Harris, for instance, in the last election. Gavin Newsom is one of them. His election would be an active threat to transgender people, and I lay out the case in my piece.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.
