Guys! Katie Wilson has pulled ahead in the race for Seattle’s mayor!
They’re still counting votes and she’s only ahead by a hair (less than 100 votes!) but the trend lines are looking good!!

We saw Trump carry out one of the most cruel and heartless acts we have ever seen. Using food assistance as political leverage.

Nothing says “man of the people” like adding gold trim and a shiny sign outside the Oval Office. Somewhere, Marie Antoinette is whispering, “tone it down.”

The Supreme Court’s Republican majority has weaponized legal interpretation to shield Trump.
By loosening legal standards SELECTIVELY, they are eroding the rule of law and turning the nation’s highest court into a partisan shield - and then they choose to explain themselves on Fox News.

Forcing all those generals to witness how amateurish and foolish both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are firsthand might increase the chances of illegal orders being ignored in the future.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.
Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.
But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

The goons that did this to him must be arrested. Outrageous!
79-year-old US citizen & business owner in Van Nuys, CA, was slammed to the ground *twice* by masked ICE agents. He was just asking for his employees to be allowed to retrieve papers proving they're legal immigrants. He suffered multiple rib fractures & a head injury w/ possible brain damage.
