Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Was just reminded that Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell eliminated the city's workforce equity programs in last year's budget, along with other programs to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters.

They want everyone to touch the stove, for the federal government and the markets to stay bad, and if somehow people come around, maybe there will be a desire to rebuild a fraction of what was lost. This is condemning America to a generations or more of awful things to win the midterms.

A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, state, and country.
Musk has said he wants a shutdown, and reporting has shown he is already making plans to use the shutdown to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services.

On today's menu; a discussion about the importance of Light Rail expansion and the moral conclusion of Disney's Cars.
After a long weekend, I'm back in the saddle.
It's time for another deep dive into a Seattle problem with a policy solution! Today, I want to cover one of the more direct criticisms I have of Harrell and the OneSeattle plan, its anemic public transit ideas.

Hello, Seattle! This is, in fact, the official Thad for Mayor account. For the most part, this will be a more formal correspondence area for me, and today, I'm going to outline one major policy that I have for the City.
I'm tired of the vibes based running, as we need better answers now.

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.

Dallas Mavericks fans are more organized than the Democratic Party
A look at the "funeral" Mavs' fans were holding in memory of the Luka Dončić era in the Victory Park neighborhood of Dallas.
As the fans walked back towards the American Airlines Center, they chanted "N-I-C-O, Nico, Nico has to go!"
