‪Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal made this inspirational speech to No Kings protestors in Seattle on Oct. 18th. It's well worth a listen. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. #NoKings #NoKingsSeattle www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBzo...

Medicare Dis-Advantage Summary from Clark Howard clark.com/insurance/me...

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

Mark Greenblatt is an example why we need inspector generals. #IndictTomHolman www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

On Sept. 23, Seattle's KOMO 4 (Sinclair) aired news instead of Jimmy Kimmel Live! In this area, kindly ask sponsors of news in the JKL timeslot to remove their ads in support of free speech. KIA; AAA Washington; Lexus; Papa Murphy's; Chase; BFFR Podcast; Unfiltered Soccer Podcast: Skechers

Jimmy Kimmel had a great show last night. In Seattle, we had to watch a replay on YouTube because our ABC affiliate (KOMO 4) is owned by Sinclair. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/a...

Let's boycott all of the advertisers who support Sinclair and Nexstar stations during the normal Jimmy Kimmel Live! time slot. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/b...

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

#RageAgainstTheRegime, Olympia, Wa

April 19 50501. Many present in Olympia, WA. #50501 #EvergreenResistance

Trump & RFK Jr. fired the ENTIRE staff who run a program that 80,000+ households in WA state rely on to heat and cool their homes. If funds don't go out and working families and seniors are stranded in deadly heat waves this summer, we know exactly why.

Today’s Tesla Takedown at Bellevue Square (Bellevue, WA) #TeslaTakesown

Join me tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. for a Virtual Town Hall. Join a livestream on social media or visit adamsmith.house.gov/live. I hope to hear from you then.

Olympia, Washington. Hand’s Off! Thousands of people here today. #handsoff2025

Skylight Social - Another way to fight back against oligarch and government ownership and control of social media. It's built on the Authenticated Transfer Protocol, developed by Bluesky. Skylight is seen as much more secure alternative to TikTok. #skylightsocial www.geekwire.com/2025/mark-cu...

The rest of the story: Three HR day for Judge! A bad day for the former Seattle Pilots (long, long ago), now known as the Brewers. #MLB #baseball #NewYorkYankees #SeattlePilots www.mlb.com/yankees/news...

Baseball history is filled with phenomenal stories. Imagine a team starts the game with three homeruns, each on one pitch. Then one of the most awe-inspiring hitters in the game, Aaron Judge, hits two more for a 3-HR game. #MLB #baseball #NewYorkYankees www.mlb.com/yankees/news...

#teslatakedown #bellevue The protest was good with lots of people, signs, and LOTS AND LOTS of supportive drivers honking and waving. It was COLD! Hoping more people will come out, especially to the Hands Off protest April 5. This IS what democracy looks like. Now is a good time to fight for us.

Trump defied a federal court order—and he’s daring the system to stop him. If Congress won’t act and the courts have no enforcement power, what happens next? Democracy doesn’t survive on its own. Are you ready to fight for it? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-rule-o...

For Mariners fans, it nice to see them add an affordable streaming service that works on any device without any blackouts. And the service is no cost with any TV package that includes ROOT Sports. I've tested it on Fire (Silk), iPhone (app), and PC (Edge). www.mlb.com/mariners/new...

From Hopium: - Gov. Walz kicks off Dem Party’s “People’s Town Halls” in red House districts - In this week's polling Trump falls, now deeply underwater on economy, inflation, foreign policy, tariffs, Ukraine - We Dems have a lot of work ahead of us More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/sunday-hop...

Washington State is leading the way in the courts to oppose President Trump, spearheaded by AG Nick Brown. We are blocking the withdrawal of birthright citizenship, ending gender affirming care for minors, NIH cuts, federal funding freeze, and mass firings of probationary federal workers.

Under the far-right budget, people in WA-09 will see their premiums skyrocket, making it harder for families to afford basic health care. For a 60-year-old couple in WA-09, premiums would soar by nearly $17,000, a staggering 234% increase.

Please share this with people in your life who care about social security!

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely. When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger. @repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.

In the 1970s, NYT and WAPO arrived via mail to my high school. The journalists were heroes. 50+ yrs later NYT continues to print well-written, ethical journalism, while WAPO fades under an oligarch's thumb. Maureen Dowd: The attack on Zelensky "looked like a setup." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

Fire Musk and Tesla

"Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy." - Walter Cronkite Having open debate in "Opinion" articles is essential to a free press. I hope The New York Times Company continues to stand strong against efforts to control the press. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Another 75,000 subscribers of The Washington Post have had enough. My red line was last June when Sally Buzbee was forced out as the executive editor. Bezos now controls the opinion pages so that only his views will appear. New subhead: "Democracy Dies with Bezos." www.npr.org/2025/02/28/n...

JAGs do not act as “roadblocks.” They determine legal priorities and interpret military law which helps to ensure that the military is apolitical. Their removal should bring fear about what’s next. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
