Specifically on revenue reform, we are calling for:
1. Adoption of the kicker methodology bill that Rep. Gamba has carried
2. Taking on Measures 5 and 50 directly
3. Fully decouple from HR 1
We're also calling for action on local revenue measures under consideration by Council (i.e., Fair Share).
I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.
my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite
🚨 LEAKED VIDEO: MAGA candidate Joe Mitchell, who just presented Donald Trump with a “Man of the Century” award, is caught on camera complaining that he “doesn't have a big d*ck” while making racist and disparaging comments about Black women.
Italian officials are trying to identify a young woman who was filmed kissing, humping, and grinding against a statue of Bacchus, the God of wine and sensuality, in Florence over the weekend.
From 1982-2018 the RNC that Rodgers invokes was under a federal consent decree that restricted its ability to engage in "ballot security measures" to intimidate voters.
This is why.
There is a reason Rodgers talks about Detroit and no other part of the state. Same reason as always.
Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters
"We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."
Well my son is six now, so it's nice to know he's past the point of being the youngest school shooting victim the country has ever seen. Wait nice isn't the word... Infuriating. It's infuriating. Anyone who stands in the way of gun reform doesn't deserve to breathe.
Classy unbiased advertising popping up all over the Willamette weeks city council endorsement article. Hard to guess which of these candidates are funded by the chamber of commerce.
Boomer retirees get bigger checks, while those still working will pay more in Soc Sec tax — a big example of the generational inequality that’s resulting from inflation right now.
when something scary happens to ilhan i think about this photo.
you’d never know from how brave she is that she isn’t seven feet tall. we’ve all got to have her back, because she isn’t just some character on capitol hill, she’s a real human, with real children, who deserves to be safe in her home.
Even if they're just being cautious, keeping Lamar and Hendrickson out is the right call. No sense jeopardizing your season for and out of conference game in week 5.
At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.
Seattle just said no. It's the first U.S. city to bar big grocers from using your data and AI to charge you more than your neighbor, while keeping coupons and senior and veteran discounts intact. Congratulations to @mayor.seattle.gov and the City Council on setting the standard.
This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.

I'm framed as "skeptical" about the mayor logic. I'm pretty sure, on record, I said something like, "Great, more of this f'ing sh*t." I suppose we can debate the meaning and intensity of skepticism, but it's worth being clear: I'm not skeptical. I know it's crap.

I guess what I’m saying is I hope trucker man repents, becomes a force for good, and ultimately finds peace. But I also think the dead Haitian has the right to be the main character of his own death.
Has anyone proposed banning frats? I know that's not going to solve rape, but it does seem like it would eliminate a weirdly large amount of it. And it's not like something of huge value would be lost.
From @theathletic.com: LeBron James will make nearly four times as much promoting the Polymarket prediction market as he will from playing basketball. The deal may not break NBA rules, but it raises uncomfortable questions.
We live in hard times where a better tomorrow is far from guaranteed. There is one thing in this fallen world that I am very thankful for. Our enemies are incredibly stupid.

For a very clear comparison, emulating Magyar would be removing all the MAGA justices and judges from Federal Courts in the first 100 days. That is the scale of democratic chemotherapy we are discussing.
The US Democrats need to look at their next Presidency as an endless sprint to obliterate MAGA, every day for years. Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy.
Govern like every day is the last day.
The NYT dropped 5 major Senate polls this morning — and they tell you exactly why the GOP is freaking out about the Senate.
Alaska: Peltola up 50/43
Texas: Talarico up 51/45
Ohio: Brown up 49/46
Kansas: a 45/45 tie
Iowa: Hinson up 48/47.
All politics aside, he doesn't care at all about or value anyone without the name Donald J. Trump. He'd even take a flamethrower to his kids and push one of his wives down the stairs if it benefited him, even for a second. What makes you think he has your best interests at heart? He's a slumlord.
This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now.
He got away, and they never relocated him.
Calling my shot now, Kotek wins the governorship with at least a 5% margin of victory over Drazan. I wouldn't save Kotek if she were drowning, but you better believe I'll vote that fucker back in to office over any Republican. This is the normie Democrat opinion in Oregon.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate.
Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta.
Smith denies it.
Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury.
Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland.

Norway has solution to this actually, stay at home parents can get their share of the public daycare subsidy as cash, that way parents are not pushed one way or the other. the problem of course is virtually no one on the center or right actually gives a shit about parents
"Making day care free, while offering nothing to stay-at-home parents, appeals to the educated, urban, affluent voters who have come to make up the Democratic base, but not to the electorate at large," Marc Novicoff argues:
The CEO of Starbucks makes 1,700 times what the baristas make. He commutes by private jet.
In other words, Starbucks can afford a fair contract.
I'm boycotting Starbucks until they sign one. No contract, no coffee.
