What advice would you give a teenager buying for the first time this Nov?

Still waiting for the Epstein files.

Huge turnout for our small town of Stanwood WA. #NoKings #3E

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Do we now need to carry our passports everywhere?

DOH reaffirms that vaccines are a proven, essential tool for protecting people’s health. We join health agencies and associations across the country in confirming there is no credible scientific evidence linking vaccines to #autism. doh.wa.gov/newsroom/was...

Good lord.this just gets so much worse for the folks in western Alaska.

Time for Republicans to get real: they control the House, the Senate, AND the White House. Republicans are in the driver's seat. If they let this car go off the cliff and shut down the government, it will be a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

There is not one mention of the situation in Texas on the front page of the online edition of the NYT today @nytimes.com

You literally can’t make this sh*t up Donald Trump launched a youth sports initiative at the White House today, appearing alongside Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct involving a trafficked 16-year-old girl A new low.

I'm most concerned about that part they snuck into A FUCKING BUDGET that guts the power of the judicial branch. Anyone opposed to that part or nah?

While mourning the Pope, thousands of people in Rome went from dead silence to an eruption of cheers when they spotted President Zelenskyy. Ukraine represents bravery, hope and unity in a world under assault by the forces of evil.

Denying funding for Head Start programs is another way to make the poor more poor and uneducated.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I’m not sure what else he can do to prove he wants to crash the economy and send us spiraling into a painful recession. It’s beyond incredible to me that many people continue to bury their heads in the sand out of pride, blind allegiance, willful ignorance or some combination thereof.

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

EO and the markets tank, say something else and the markets rally. Have congressmen beg him not to injure their constituents.Make people disappear.Make universities and law firms fearful so they capitulate to him, he's thinking wow I did that.All a power trip that he gets off on. Sick man.

I listened to the NYT The Daily podcast today, 3/19 "How Trump is Scaring Big Law Firms Into Submission". Wow!! I have a much better understanding of what is happening to our legal system and where Mark Elias @markelias.bsky.social is coming from. Scary stuff.

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Absolutely do something, be aggressive because I am almost embarrassed to be a Democrat

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

What will it take for at least some of THE REPUBLICAN lawmakers to stand up against this administration? They're not all rich. They have families. They like weather forecasts and visiting national parks. They have family members on Medicaid or using the ACA. Stand up and SAVE OUR COUNTRY!!

Dear #MAGA when they cut your Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and SNAP, when they take away your overtime & unemployment benefits & cut your wages, when your food is no longer safe to eat, know that we liberals/Dems weren't fighting against you, we were fighting for you.

Perfect statement on the current state of affairs in this country. Written in response to a person who lost their job at NOAA.

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Republicans don't care about you.

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

THIS!!!!!

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

It felt so good to deactivate my Twitter account.
