If the president can both tax and spend without Congress, why even reconvene it?

Treating public servants like garbage harms our national interest. Talented people trade income potential for stability and benefits. Take those away, and you're only going to be able to hire people who can't find work elsewhere.

I *think* he lost Lawrence when he fell and couldn't figure out what to do. But his body language is more like an Irish goodbye.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them. Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotelโ€™s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Hundred UW students, professor chase self-professed Nazi sympathizer after lecture interruption According to UW, the man entered the classroom during a lecture, interrupted the session by making Nazi salutes, and shouted insults at both the instructor and students.

I just found out this was Psych 210, the class we used to call the Dirty 1:30 because of the time it was held. Itโ€™s actual name is Human Sexuality. www.kiro7.com/news/local/h...
