Good luck to Katie Wilson. Didn't support her, but I'm hoping for the best for the Emerald City.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, but only when I'm doing other things, like housework, jogging or driving (in lieu of listening to news and talk shows on the radio). When I finally watched on streaming, it was disappointing, the images of people distracted from focusing on what was being said.

Thanks, Rep. Perez. Many of my friends and family members have been affected. The president is evil but maybe he’ll be swayed by the delegation’s collective effort.

Using a monochromatic ink on paper to render a courtroom, while employing the tilted perspective reminiscent of French post-Impressionists Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard after their exposure to Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. Impressive!

Pretty sure he's going to let everyone know that the evil Democrats and George Soros are paying off everyone who attends a No Kings rally or any anti-Trump protest.

I’m the same age as your mom. My kids would be surprised if I wasn’t yelling obscenities at MAGA asshats on TV. (They’d probably be even more surprised that I was watching TV.)

It would have been better if you'd referred the matter to the Ethics Committee. Bringing resolutions like this to the floor looks like a publicity stunt. I agree with AOC's published response.

Yep, she was a good activist. People, including me, liked the work she did for public transportation. Not sure how her activist skills will help her manage the complex bureaucracy that is Seattle City Government. We’ll soon find out.

Actually, it’s called op-ed because the opinion columns used to appear on the page opposite the paper’s editorials, which doesn’t make much sense in the digital media age, while your definition still works.

You’re labeling me by saying I support fascists,etc. You’ve also implied I don’t have a right to express my opinion because I don’t live in the district. Like everyone, I’m affected by who holds the House majority. I just don’t think a progressive candidate can win WA CD-3. Time will tell.
