Every member of Congress who remains silent on Bill Pulte’s appointment as director of national intelligence is actively choosing personal political survival over the literal safety of the United States.

Because everyone knows that only liberal commie Democrats fly into or out of Sanctuary Cities. Fool-proof plan, TACO Donnie.

Packed house at the Bus Stop in downtown Olympia to support the No Hate in WA State nohateinwastate.org/campaign, opposing I-001 and I-638. Consider donating or doing what you can to help fight these abhorrent initiatives that make kids less safe and would hurt members of our community.

Democracy cannot survive without accountability.

In addition to fighting back against GOP gerrymandering, here’s another reason why state-level races so important in 2026: if Dems win trifectas in combo of MI, PA, WI, NV & AZ they can put National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over 270 electoral votes & elect next president with popular vote

A lot of folks seem very angry about this article, but it seems like a reasonable perspective to me. In an era where billionaires can buy access and corruption runs rampant, we have a moral obligation to fight for a social safety net that supports those on the financial edge.

The subtext is mostly just text now. The projecting gets less and less subtle.

Can we make our country better? This is a critical element of that question.

I would have given my left arm to get a DOJ job in 2012 and now there is literally no sum they could pay me to work there.

Thank you, @repemilyrandall.bsky.social - for standing up for the privacy and rights of Washingtonians.

They looked at a list of voter names and judged that some are "traditional American names" while some are "foreign names" - this assumes that anyone with a name or surname that isn't English or German in origin is automatically an immigrant and suspect. Wow. What a stupid, racist take.

To keep getting up in the morning and doing some small amount of good - for your family, for other people, for your community - is valuable. Don't be discouraged if it's all you have in you on any given day. It does not matter how fast you go, so long as you do not stop.

They put the women who achieved the success in the back and put a wall of useless men up front. There's some deep symbolism here. How "extraordinarily brilliant" do you have to be not to notice how fucked up and embarrassing this is?

“I am an extraordinarily brilliant person” —Something no even mildly bright person would ever feel the need to say. Donald is deeply damaged—and extraordinarily stupid.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Exactly one year ago today:

Strong logistical planning is a critical characteristic of someone who knows what they are doing. They don't.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

The reputation of America to be at least a rational actor, if not an ethical or moral actor, has been demolished. The president has tumbled us into a new world order where we are less trusted, less powerful, less economically secure, and less safe than any time in the last 60 years.

EPSTEIN FILES NOW

I ache reading this but there is truth here.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all my trans loved ones and community members. 😊

Olympia turned out strong for No Kings. I also identify as a salty liberal witch. 🧙

TSA agents don’t need ICE officers hovering over their shoulders and intimidating travelers—they need to get paid! Democrats have tried to pay TSA 8 times. Republicans have blocked it every time.

Deliberately choosing the worst people for the important jobs. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"I'm not opposed to voter ID laws. I'm opposed to STUPID voter ID laws." Rep. Lieu cuts to the heart of the matter.

Even Rep. Adam Smith has had enough of this bullshit.

This strikes me as both an excellent policy, and the bare minimum expectation for law enforcement in a democratic society. The need for this law will be awkward to explain to future generations (I hope).

We’re told there’s no money for universal healthcare or to end hunger in this country. But somehow $200 billion more for war will likely move through Congress without question.  Not another penny for another endless war.

Republicans blocked Democrats' bill to pay TSA workers AGAIN. Then, they blocked our bill to fund all of DHS besides ICE & CBP...AGAIN. We've given Republicans every chance to solve this TODAY. They refuse unless Congress cuts a blank check to ICE. Not happening.

The Trump administration used a 5-year-old Liam Ramos as bait. Then they detained him and his father at a for-profit detention center in Texas. Now, a judge is denying the family’s asylum case. This repeated traumatization is utterly cruel. I hope this decision is overturned.

For someone sooooo concerned about winning, this is big "I'm a huge friendless loser," energy.

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

I deeply appreciate this refocusing on what actually matters.

Trucks are the leading indicator that people who gripe about eggs aren't really worried about eggs

My senator. ❤️

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.

Electoral consequences sometimes feel as though they take a LOOOONG time. But they do come.

I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.

trump saw bush's popularity spike in the early 2000s and thought "ah, so war in the middle east makes you popular," and he has clung to this idea through thick and thin for over twenty years, until he reached a moment where he was president and needed to be more popular

Confound your enemies by living well.

so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

@pbsnews.org I'm unsubscribing because every time I read a headline from you, it feels like you have bent over backwards to provide "equal time" and framed an unhinged event or action at the federal level as a chill, normal thing. Your federal funding was pulled months ago. SPEAK THE PLAIN TRUTH.

False herring? I wonder if this is some kind of Freudian slip. "I can't feign outrage at the idea of following the basic tenets of the Constitution, AND use an idiom correctly! Too many commands - brain cannot process." Ask him to walk and chew gum at the same time. Maybe give him a helmet first.
