My Washington State tax is going to go up and that's a good thing. We had the most regressive tax structure in the country for DECADES.

10-days left countdown graphic to Election Day, March 17! The photo showcased is of Kat yelling into the void, overlayed on the ten. Full copy reads: "10 days until the election!" with Kat For Illinois' logo.

🚨 10 DAYS! 🚨

We’re in the final stretch, within single digits of winning.

And you can help us get there.

Iran was already dangerously close to running out of drinking water before we attacked them.

Really gives the lie to “we’re helping Iranians free themselves,” doesn’t it?

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

One of those stories that would be fairly depressing to read, if the writing itself wasn’t so incredibly good

Are there others we don't know about yet?

How do we count the ones who die in concentration camps?

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

It is an existential imperative that we begin a serious global dialogue about how ‘experts’ as the media uses the term, consistently lag behind us laymen when it comes to Knowing Some Bullshit When We See It.

The Senate wants to ban new passenger ferries built outside the state while the state is purchasing three new state ferries from Florida.

The Senate wants to require all new passenger ferries to be zero emission when the alternative is driving your car onto a ferry.

These are wild demands.

How Seattle got stuck with a Republican City Attorney for 4 years...

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

This was great.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

Every day I understand more and more how this costume was fooling people

The through line for me is always this: how can I make Washington more just, safe, prosperous and healthy?

In every session in big ways and small, out front and behind the scenes, there are a million ways to help that work advance and also to bring ideas forward that will advance later. #waleg

Good morning! I’m proud to say that all six of my bills that were alive at cutoff have PASSED the Senate and are on their way to the Governor. I think that’s a personal best for my prime sponsor legislation and a huge testament to the work of the amazing advocates on these teams. #waleg

Three bills to stand up for homeowners rights in HOAs and improve HOA practices (1500, 1501, and 2354). And a trailer bill to the first ever law I ever made — licensing music therapists — to make it easier for them to work while awaiting exam results #waleg

When @wyden.senate.gov mentioned Nuremberg 2.0, he wasn't joking, and neither are we.

WA ‘millionaires tax’ headed for passage as Ferguson says he’ll sign it Gov. Bob Ferguson and legislative Democrats reached a deal on a proposed income tax on people earning more than $1 million, clearing the way for a final vote.

The ur-text of this line of thinking, of course, is Rob Saka complaining that an 8-inch traffic safety median was akin to Trump's border wall & "retraumatizing" to immigrants

So there's still a pretty huge incentive to have them attached?

Before or after take off?

Yeah, Google's original development philosophy was to have you spend as little time as possible on the search page itself by taking you to the results you want as fast as possible.

Then they realized they could make a lot of money by keeping you on the search results page instead and here we are.

Not sure about this...Google has been wrecking their search for a long time now, stuffing it with ads and drawing people away from the organic search results. The US sued them over this (and won!)

This just seems like the next iteration of wrecking it.

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

Pardon Industry Offers Rich Offenders a Path to Trump

NEW: Pardon seekers are routinely being asked to pay $1m+ to lobbyists & lawyers claiming access to Trump, often with bonuses if clemency is granted.

I investigated the Trump Pardon Industrial Complex, & detailed the backstory behind 1 interesting pardon.
