That’s another horrendous ACIP meeting on the books. This clown show did a lot more than weakly recommend delaying the HBV birth dose and compare vaccines to planes. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/say-hello-...

The CFPB has returned billions to Americans scammed by corporations. But now the Trump administration is canceling lawsuits and taking money out of consumers’ pockets. The government should work for the people, not billionaire CEOs — and I’m demanding answers.

that fake ass fifa trophy has this energy

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

Want to support actual journalists? I’ve been hard at work for the past two weeks analyzing a giant .csv file with the over 2 million Flock searches made on Spokane County camera so I can do the kind of real accountability work that makes a difference. We take tips or monthly donations!

For any justice making up reasons to say the clear language of the 14th Amendment impeachment should be understood as the most lenient available consequence. It would generously and magnanimously allow the protection of law for those decreeing that it should not apply.

He can admire all the places he's bombed and sent troops.

Democrats wanted to force big airlines to pay you if they delayed your flight for hours and hours. Then Trump came into office and cancelled the entire plan. Why? Because he only cares about helping out his billionaire buddies, not you.

THIS. Testify at city council committee meetings.

Some day a conservative will understand the movie they're watching.

You don’t have to be an expert in drug trafficking to know it would be utterly pointless to have 11 people on a small boat to bring drugs from point A to point B. If the boat gets stopped, 11 of your men get arrested instead of 1 or 2

You have to shut down the police officer who lives in your mind and take the elf off of your shelf.

Not going to reproduce it here, but a high powered individual in their field sent me a PowerPoint to review, and one of my notes was, "you don't need the AI Tony the Tiger in his underwear." I will not elaborate on work stuff.

HAPPENING NOW: I’m hosting my fifth Shadow Hearing, focusing today on Trump’s detention abuses. The administration is kidnapping and disappearing immigrants to detention centers with absolutely horrific conditions. If Republicans won’t conduct oversight, we will.

Finally, you can say "Christmas" when committing war crimes.

After just over a year of bargaining, union employees at The Stranger, the Portland Mercury, EverOut, and Bold Type Tickets have just ratified their first-ever contract! 🥳 🎉 🥳 🎉

🚨Bill Alert 🚨 I just dropped HB 2098, Affordable College for All. This bill would make higher education accessible to all working and middle class families in Washington State by removing an artificial cap the biggest tech companies put on their own tax rates: app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?... #waleg

I realize that these are bad people making bullshit excuses to act poorly. But if people in military towns can't recognize military ID and people in places with large Native populations can't recognize tribal ID's, they need to sit in a conference room and pass a basic test.

On the day that @opb.org CEO Rachel Smolkin posted this video, saying OPB’s funding gap of $5 million was closed, I was also told by the Chief Content Officer that Hush was canceled. Eighty percent of my income, and my health insurance - gone. I was given no reason for the cancellation. 1/x

RFK Jr. is praising private insurers for removing prior authorization while he is ramping up a pilot program requiring AI-led prior authorization for Medicare patients in 6 states, including WA state, which will delay and deny care for seniors.   No AI prior authorization. No way.

We spent the past month (months?) talking w/ protesters detained at Portland's ICE bldg about their experiences. We heard everything from being questioned about antifa, to not being read Miranda rights, to photos w/ arresting officers. Their stories point to a slapdash, chaotic federal operation:

it means you should stop f*cking publishing sh*t republicans say as if you believe it's in good faith.

Regence makes the decision in my household.

This shouty speaker phone call at the bus stop could be a text chain that I don't have to listen to.

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.

*FAAAAAAARRRRRRRT NOISE*

Senator Saldaña talked about what she hopes to accomplish in the legislative session that starts next month

Siri, play “in the arms of an angel”

To recap this week: •Trump fires 8 immigration judges •DHS tweets "remigration now,"—an actual Nazi policy •DHS defies court order & deports a 19-year-old college student •Trump regime removes report on Missing & Murdered Indigenous women, calling it "DEI" This is an overt policy of white supremacy

This is the crosswalk right outside Kent Des Moines Station (opening Saturday) that allows you to get across State Route 99. See that teeny bus stop off on the distance? That's the closest stop for southbound RapidRide A Line riders.

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

This young woman has lived in America since she was 7. On her way to visit family for Thanksgiving, she was abruptly detained, shackled, and deported to Honduras. It's not even clear if she had a deportation order. This isn't going after criminals. It makes no one safer.

This is a very cute dog, but that's no excuse for blocking the bike lane.

Rude that I have to pay my rent every month.

‼️‼️ "Over the year, bike and scooter share carried about 60% as many trips as the state’s $2.15 billion SR-99 highway tunnel under downtown Seattle. During summer months, that number may have been more like 80%."

We tried it twice, and the left complained the entire time both times.

The Trump Administration continues to fight to keep food from families — now, trying to restrict SNAP eligibility for green card holders. Our Attorney General Nick Brown is fighting to protect SNAP for Washingtonians.

I feel like all you need to do to get people properly In the streets over healthcare now is to tell them how little admin you have to do about it when it’s free

But I am not ready to make amends.
