"We don't just care how people who sit in C-suites are doing. We care about how those who clean C-suites are doing too." NYC Deputy Mayor Julie Su explains why we must center working people in economic policy-making.

*sighs* It truly makes me sad seeing people from other countries openly express they don’t feel safe coming to the US anymore. Especially because they’re right to feel that way. It’s not safe here anymore. I don’t wanna get too defeatist here. I’ll be ok. Just venting a bit I guess.

With data centers expected to become the largest source of electricity demand in the Pacific Northwest, Washington legislators are pressing ahead with a bill aimed at protecting the grid and offsetting potential hikes for utility ratepayers. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/02/11/h...

Trump is threatening to block construction of a publicly owned bridge connecting Detroit and Canada, despite supporting the project in his first term. A billionaire who privately owns a competing bridge met with Howard Lutnick just days before Trump announced his opposition. Funny how that works.

It’s really hard to underestimate the major impacts that peak hour only service has had on MCTS routes in the last month, especially on route 55. Yesterday I saw an elderly lady waiting at a route 55 stop just after 9am and had to tell her that the next bus wasn’t until 3pm.

THREAD 🧵 The latest batch of Epstein Files are disgusting and shocking. We wanted to give the public an understanding of the most important takeaways.

"There will be no negotiations in Moscow or Minsk. I cannot come to negotiations with Putin in the capital of a country that is the aggressor in this war." - Zelenskyy.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/toddler-hospitalized-dilley-ice-detention-rcna257912

I just signed legislation to stop predatory actors from exploiting veterans as they navigate the benefits they've earned through service and sacrifice. We owe our veteran community a debt of gratitude and we will fight to protect them.

How many more times will we have to read the words, “It’s way worse than you think?” open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

“this protects minors. Give us ID.” No, you mean it lets you spy openly on people. Oh. And it also means those who were victims of trafficking, abuse etc. are now harder to find, and find it harder to speak out. Funny how this is getting worse as more Epstein shit comes out eh?

The ‘American Sovereignty’ ads trying to convince us ICE is full of family people are not working. We can see that ICE is made up of vicious sadistic thugs who want to hurt anyone not like them. They are hired for their cruelty and ignorant stupidity.

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would: Pass gun control Stop demonizing vaccines Fund education and healthcare Punish every single creep in the Epstein files Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

The US Women’s Hockey team is terrifying. They have scored twenty goals in this Olympiad so far. Their opponents? One.

Every time they turn the page on the Epstein Files, his name is there, too.

Congress must hold the Trump Administration's out-of-control federal agents accountable — and a federal anti-masking bill should be at the top of their list.

Today, I signed SB 694 to protect veterans and service members from fraud! We're helping vets keep more money in their pockets — including a new $20,000 state income tax credit.

To take back the Senate, Democrats need Alaska. Good news: Mary Peltola is running for Alaska’s U.S. Senate seat — and she’s won statewide before.

Thank you Utah !

A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves. California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.

The owner of the Seahawks IS NOT in the Epstein Files. Robert Kraft is. GO SEAHAWKS.

Seahawks Win Super Bowl, and Bad Bunny Shines at Halftime Show www.nytimes.com/video/sports... 🤩🥳

and as the world sells off their bonds it will only get weaker. #FDT #NATO #Epstein #Trump #POTUSStephenMiller

As corporations shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many have said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state. That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

Tied to the "March for Life" www.nbcwashington.com/news/health/...

Congrats to the Seahawks on a huge win. An extraordinary Super Bowl, delivered at a scale only California can. From Santa Clara this year to Los Angeles hosting next year, the Golden State keeps setting the standard. No other state comes close!

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics Good times.

YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT A CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING ... IT'S THE REPUBLIKKKLAN PARTY!! An 86 pg DOJ prosecution memo that INCLUDED DETAILS ON “POTENTIAL CO-CONSPIRATORS” of Jeffrey Epstein “MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED” from the DOJ’s website after the agency was asked about the document by a reporter

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.
