Democrats are weak and their weakness hurts people. Our current government is cruel and it will continue to harm people, even lead to deaths, until an opposition rises that is willing to fight for those with low wealth.

We all have saints who inspire us. Jane Goodall is one of mine. Ever since news of her death broke, I have been immeasurably grateful for her work, her life, her humor, and her spirit. The world is so much better because she was in it. Deep gratitude.

Seattleites, KOMO is a Sinclair outfit. If you took the time to cancel Disney+/HULU, take the time to tell advertisers on KOMO they should pull their ads. Also, thank the Paramount which already did!

Kimmel said, "The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." Disney/ABC pulls his show after FCC threats. We are not MOVING to authoritarianism. We are in it.

The Enchantments in the Cascades is a beautiful stretch of land across 900 miles of trails.
Last year, there were 11 wilderness rangers patrolling the Enchantments.
This year, there’s ONE—thanks to Trump.
