🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s administration is threatening Europe with “DEVASTATING” retaliation if European countries move to reduce their dependence on Elon Musk’s Starlink. Instead of standing up to Putin, Trump is using American power to protect Musk’s business interests. TRUMP. IS. A. TRAITOR. 😎🇺🇸✨

This is not okay. Trump’s administration is threatening “devastating” retaliation if European officials move forward with plans that could restrict Elon Musk’s Starlink access to parts of the European market.

Sound Transit planned a "small" celebration today for Pinehurst but once again underestimated how much people in Seattle LOVE TRANSIT. This place is packed.

So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

Today is a big day for Vision Zero in Seattle. 🚸 Mayor Katie Wilson signed an Executive Order to accelerate safety improvements on our most dangerous streets. Seattle Streets Alliance has pushed for this urgency for years. The goal: everyone gets home safely. A meaningful step forward.

If three NYers were shot up by strangers that got away it would be on CNN and NYT/WSJ above fold. If three subway riders died after being pushed on 🚇tracks by strangers it would be on CNN and NYT/WSJ above fold. Three NYers were killed by hit-run drivers and nary a peep?

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

The UAE invested billions in the Trump family’s cryptocurrency ventures. But the UAE is now facing an economic downturn due to Trump’s war on Iran. In response, Trump may grant the UAE a financial bailout from the U.S. What might Trump get in return? A bigger boost to his net worth? Hello?

BREAKING: In a loss for Indiana voters, the 7th Circuit reinstated an Indiana law banning the use of student IDs for voting after a lower court blocked the measure last week. The new ruling means voters cannot use their student IDs to vote as litigation in the case continues.

The "freedom to drive" actually means having zero choice. You are forced to buy, maintain, insure, fuel, and store a depreciating asset on repeat forever. True mobility freedom is having safe, efficient, accessible alternatives, not surrendering your financial independence to car dependency.

They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years It's the wrong question to ask And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.
