It is disgusting that Republicans CHOSE to let SNAP benefits run out today—letting millions of kids and families go hungry for political leverage.  The courts have made it clear that USDA must fund SNAP for November.

Dont let money control our politics, oppose Heywood and his harmful initiatives.

Compromise is a very basic principle every American understands.

If Republicans “don’t bother” working with Democrats just because Trump said so, it will be a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

Republicans control the House, Senate, & White House—the American people will know who to blame.

Hillary Rodham Clinton on Bluesky: “Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That's what this is.”

The wannabe king is now directing his regime to prosecute his political opponents.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we have NO KINGS and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption. Join us for the next nationwide day of defiance: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

WA farms face plenty of pressure, and state regulations are part of it | Op-Ed, State Sen. Mark Schoesler The state really can’t do much about the weather or global markets, but there is much it can do about taxes, laws and regulations.

Not a word of criticism in here of any federal policies.

And no mention of tariffs.

Because the author is for Trump.

"The dramatic loss of farms is heartbreaking and startling. It should concern everyone, as our farmers provide food not only for Washingtonians but for people around the globe."

Canadian visits to Washington are plummeting, down by nearly 40% in August alone, hurting local tourism and businesses.
Trump's reckless tariffs and immigration policies are driving away visitors that our economy depends on.

Why your health insurance may soon cost a lot more Health insurance costs in the United States are on track for their biggest jump in at least five years.

Health care costs are set to increase: higher premiums, ACA subsidies expiring, and Trump’s reckless tariffs driving up prescription drug costs. Millions are at risk of losing coverage and paying more.
While Republicans turn their backs, Democrats are fighting to keep health care affordable.

EPA calls for rolling back companies' greenhouse gas reporting EPA Administrator Zeldin called the program "nothing more than bureaucratic red tape that does nothing to improve air quality."

The Trump EPA wants to let polluters hide their emissions, gutting greenhouse gas reporting after 15 years of transparency. The Trump admin. continues to dodge accountability while selling out communities to big corporate polluters.

We all must stand together.
