I think my favorite Holiday song is Grandma got run over by a reindeer by Dr. Elmo. It has the perfect mix of Holiday magic and manslaughter.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Things I have learned this week, all things considered, I did great building summer camp. Also soccer is not spelt Soccar and for Multi-Sport I spelled it in various way.

Today during a meeting to make a point, I told my supervisor that programs are like banana splits, with the programs being all the topping and the banana being standardization. I think I really just wanted a banana split.

The racial profiling ICE has been using to terrorize communities of color must end. Native people have been here long before and will be here long after Trump's racist administration comes to an end!

My August PTO got approved so I bought my airfare at lunch. Going to Burbank, well Pasadena. So far in 2026 I’ll be in California 6 different times. From late January to May I have a trip each month.

Robin’s annual Santa photo at Cabral’s. It was magical.

I’ve investigated a lot of domestic violence cases and something was gnawing at me about the way Trump lashes out at a female reporters. Then it occurred to me that “Quiet, piggy!” is probably something Trump’s dad screamed at Trump’s mom. ABUSE IS GENERATIONAL.

Was forced to update my iPhone iOS, just to be able to see the Apple Store on my iPhone.

I think I’m more excited to take Robin to meet Santa than she is about meeting him.

I’m kind of excited for this one. At the heart of Sharknado, is a story about climate change.

I tried to be artist in this candid shot of Robin

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

Rep. Baumgartner, you and your party literally hold the keys to opening the government. Please do what you can, fight for the people of WA-05, and tell your bestie Speaker Johnson to do his job instead of playing politics with everyone’s paychecks and food.

I had the strangest commute home tonight. It started off as normal until the bus driver ended up in the wrong lane pulled over and we kind of just sat on the side of the road for 10 minutes. The. We started again and stopped again. So the bus missed the last two stops in Seattle. 1/2

Didn’t realize I had a pet American black bear or wildcat laying on my legs. A.I. trying to fat shame Robin again.

may the power protect you, zordon mamdani

Vote

Snohomish County I voted sticker. It really says PNW.

I just backed Jem and the Holograms: Truly Outrageous Comic Collection on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/boo...

Robin’s second costume of the day. She is a teenager with attitude.

Robin says Happy Halloween. This is costume 1 or 2.

I’ve been experimenting with taking Tylenol PM and Advil PM as a sleep aide twice a week to see which one works best. So far Tylenol seems to be the winner. It gradually makes me sleepy and I get a sound sleep.

Today was a good work day. I went Trick or treating throughout the building. We even finally got an office. I now have 4 walls and a door!

Today we are trick or treating at work and they said costumes encouraged. So I’m sitting on the bus in half cosplay right now at 6:58 AM with a backpack of candy.

GOP candidate Michelle Caldier wants to blame national politics, because she doesn’t want anyone to look at her record of raising costs for Washingtonians and failing our schools. Sen. Deb Krishnadasan is focused on what really matters: ✅ Healthcare ✅ Housing ✅ Reliable transportation options

New video: "Trump Anonymous DONOR EXPOSED... It's BAD!" click below to WATCH👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAko-dKmP6A

I can't help but notice that the most common dismissal of the #NoKings march is, "Is we really had a king, you wouldn't be able to protest." Which is not only deeply ahistorical and completely misses the point, but also feeds into the myth of authoritarian dictators being all powerful.

This is beyond unacceptable. Every Central Washington Republican must publicly disown the bigotry and hatred inherent in the graphic presented at this Ellensburg candidate forum. Hate has no place in our communities.

FYI: if the MAGA bots arriving mass report me and I lose this account, you can find me at www.muellershewrote.com or by listening to the Daily Beans podcast. Both are free to subscribe.

I started playing the new Pokemon game. Pokemon Legends Z-A. I think it’s modeled after Paris.

Happy 13th Birthday to Robin Elizabeth Sparkles. You are officially a teenager with attitude.

One game closer to the World Series. It’s only taken Twenty years. I sort of hope they make another My Oh My video.

Today I went to Wenatchee, the heart of apple, pear, and cherry country, to discuss the challenges facing the tree fruit industry. I'm grateful for the hard work and innovation of our farmers and growers that make our agriculture among the best in the world.

I feel like I’ve done a lot but also nothing as the same time. I went through my closet and pulled stuff out to give to the sanitation station. And for stuff that needed a little refreshing did some laundry. Then I cleaned the washing machine. Also did some grocery shopping.

My oh my, @mariners.com! Congratulations on your historic win tonight in front of the best fans in MLB. There is nothing like October baseball in Seattle. Bring on the @bluejays.com! #SeizeTheMoment

After 15 innings and 20 some odd years. My dog is freaking out, because of all the fireworks going off.

Me: Why do you keep pushing me to eat bananas? Mom: because you get aches and cramps and bananas help. Me: I also get lonely, so I should get a second dog.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

He’s back! I’ve been thinking about his annual PSL videos lately. @davidseymour1.bsky.social is back! youtu.be/knQ88MnEqzg?...

JD Vance straight-up lied about Dems wanting health care for illegals. They are barred from the medical assistance orgs.

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.

Decided to go to Burbank/ Hollywood for a weekend in May. I wanted to go to Universal Studios Fan Fest. Might even see if I can fit in Warner Bros studio tour as well. Basically in 2026 I’ll be in Southern California in Jan/Feb, March, May and August.

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

“Stay out of Seattle!” WA Democratic leaders are ready to protect our communities and maintain local control. Trump’s flailing overreach has no place in OUR Washington.

BREAKING: State of Oregon sues to block Trump from deploying Oregon National Guard to Portland. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Back home with Robin. She had a slumber party with my friend’s kids. They did a puzzle, which Robin deemed boring and decided to sleep. At bedtime Robin apparently also growled at Matias for trying to take the blanket.

Did a fun short staycation last night. I went to see Aly and AJ at the Paramount and rather than taking the train back decided to spent the night. Really enjoyed the Grand Hyatt. Will be back for ECCC.

WA Democrats stand with OR in condemning this wasteful overreach. Republicans are shutting down the government in a few days instead of saving healthcare for millions of Americans. We will not be distracted from Republicans complete inability to govern and the chaos they continue to sow.
