Hey Seattle Times…on page A11 of today’s Sunday paper you published a misleading advertisement from the Washingtonpolicy group. It states that Seattle has highest income tax in the nation. To be clear this is only for individuals earning over $1M annually, about 3% of the Seattle population.

Ken Martin misses the point and needs to listen to their constituency instead of a “We know what’s best for the party”. I think the real reason for DNC not sharing the report: information and feedback that would be political fodder for use against Democrats. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Opening Day! Go Mariners!!! www.yakimaherald.com/sports/profe...

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

This Ben Rhodes piece in the NYT explains how we ended up with ICE under DHS and why it has gotten out of control. The Case Against the Department of Homeland Security www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/o...

Hey Washington State Democrats in District No.3. Why is Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voting to fund the current version of ICE? How about funding for southwest Washington that focuses on Jobs, Inflation, Economy, Military and Veterans, Infrastructure, and the well being of our communities?

I am actively monitoring a shelter-in-place situation at two schools in the Ninth District following reports of ICE activity in the area.

Nick on the Rocks is an excellent geology show about Washington State and the PNW. I highly recommend for learning, thinking, and expanding your dinner party repertoire. pbs.org/show/nick-ro...

This article describes oil and mineral resources and future arctic navigation routes associated with Greenland. Could it be this is a Trump admin climate change resiliency and mitigation strategy…and get rich scheme? Why Greenland Matters for a Warming World www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/w...

Trump’ veto impacts residents of southeastern Colorado, many voted for him, and it shows he is more interested in settling scores than governing. It is beyond ironic! Veto of Water Project Is Trump’s Latest Targeted Hit on Colorado www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/u...

Here’s a recent article about bike safety along Lake Washington Blvd (LWB). Current plans pit cars against bikes and walkers. We have the engineering and environmental know-how for a multi-use park boulevard that Seattle Parks has refused to consider. www.seattlebikeblog.com/2025/08/22/m...

For my republican voting friends and neighbors, here is how Trump and the GOP economic plans and cuts in the Federal government are affecting good jobs in Washington State. And immigration raids are impacting agri-business. Is this what you voted for? www.tricitiesbusinessnews.com/articles/wa-...

NEW: As #txlege weighs disaster policies, experts say they're is overlooking part of what made the July floods so devastating: unregulated development in flood-prone areas. Our interactive map shows some impacted sites in the Austin area were directly in floodways. www.statesman.com/story/news/l...

Trump Withholds Nearly $7 Billion for Schools, With Little Explanation www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u... And in other news…separate from the BBB debacle, Trump and Vogt have frozen $Bs for after school programs. Do you think this helps working families and their children?

Trump's ICE raids mean Washington farmers cannot harvest this year's cherry crop, and that many will now go out of business. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

It’s that fantastic Republican leadership we’ve got. 🙄 Dead last. Great work Reynolds, Ernst and Grassley. www.kcrg.com/app/2025/06/...

GOP budget…cuts to Medicaid…lower taxes for ultra-wealthy…increase the deficit. It will not jump start the economy. So many will be left behind. Americans know the GOP congress is a sham that does not represent their interests. We will hold them accountable.

They scream about Socialism while their roads, hospitals, and schools are basically on a Federal IV drip.

Defunding the history day competition is so petty…

FEMA BRIC cancellation is a huge setback for building resilient communities to mitigate flood, wildfire and other natural hazard disasters! The program funds thousands of jobs for planners, engineers, construction and assistance to homeowners and business owners. www.fema.gov/press-releas...

When you hit an uninhabited island near Antarctica with tariffs

The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/godfather-do...

The Trump administration abruptly laid off the entire staff running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the U.S. pay their heating and cooling bills.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Democrats have lost the common touch www.seattletimes.com/opinion/demo...

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Way to go Mariners! Opening day win. Hopefully a sign of a good season ahead. x.com/MLB/status/1...

The Trump administration’s research funding and DEI cuts present an existential threat to regional public universities like Southern Illinois University, the economic backbone of the conservative rural region it serves. W/ @capitolnewsil.bsky.social @slate.com
