Seattle liberal. Life long progressive, raised by life long progressive.
Trump lied when he said he would not disturb the existing White House for his ridiculous ballroom. His destruction of the East Wing is symbolic of what he has done to our democracy.

Me on Trump pardoning disgraced former congressman George Santos:
"It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

“Maximize pain” — that is what the White House literally told the GOP their strategy is. Imagine responding to the fight for human dignity with a strategy for maximizing pain.

Trump wants to insert private AI companies between seniors on Medicare and their doctors—with prior authorization creating delays and denials in getting the care you need.
This is an effort to cut Medicare benefits for seniors. I’ll be fighting to block this every way I can.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.
Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.
Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

America is the home of the brave.
And if Donald Trump weren’t such a coward, he’d let us see what the government has on his old pal Jeffrey Epstein.

Republicans are putting 17 million lives at risk in their “Big Beautiful Bill.”
These are more than just numbers. These are real people who deserve to live a life without worrying they will go broke if they need health care.
