Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Citing a Trump order about “restoring biological truth,” the VA is making it more difficult for male veterans with breast cancer to get their care covered by the government.

The disease is deadlier than for women and “notably higher among veterans,” research shows.

YouTube video by seatransitblog Bellevue City Council Falls Into Chaos

In light of a race for County Executive that looks to be going down to the wire, I'm compelled to circulate THE Claudia Balducci video.

The Bellevue City Council meeting in 2010 where CB made it clear she doesn't ever shirk away from a fight.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally participated in an ICE raid at a laundromat in the city. However, the owner locked the doors and refused entry, which halted the operation at the site.

Dionne is the colleague I need on Seattle City Council.

Get your ballots in!

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

THINK MAGA, THINK!!!

This makes absolutely perfect sense to me!! Didn't they do that will all their advisors and wives, too?

I'm honored to be endorsed by the Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund!

The Washington Housing Alliance Action Fund changes public policy so that people of all races, ethnicities, abilities, genders, and identities can live in safe, healthy homes they can afford.

Wholesome! We need more of that in the world.

Everybody on the streets on Saturday for #NoKings protest!
October 18. Find an event and join. Whimsical, fun costumes are great.
Ridicule ICE and MAGA.😊🐸

It was only eight days ago that 300 federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer.

Don't let the never-ending shit-news-cycle get in your way of remembering that.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The dollar amount has now risen to FORTY Billion.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

ICE Detains Citizen After Saying She Doesn’t “Look Like” Her Last Name She even had her U.S. passport on her.

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

Eat the rich.

Lots of bikes in rows

Cool to see so many Husky fans using the bike valet at the UW!

@chuckwendig.bsky.social are you moonlighting for The Needling?

Huh. As I was saying...

"Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over and shooting the woman five times."

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

I am right there with you. Prolly going to hit a morning showing on Friday!

As Trump ramps up National Guard threats, what’s crime really like in Portland and Seattle? Donald Trump has often name-checked both cities, describing them as dangerous. Here's what the numbers show.

I really wish media covering Trump's invasion of US cities would step away from this "Trump wants to fight crime, but how bad is it really?" framing. They obviously don't give a shit about local crime, but this manufactured narrative dominates all the coverage.

A PAC supporting Bruce Harrell has now raised more than $1 million from wealthy donors, and soon they will use it to attack me so that our city stays unaffordable. With less than a month until election day, I want to make a few things clear. #thisisyourcity

My theological status is best described as "lazy agnostic," which is to say I am fairly certain that there is no god, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find out one way or another. If you're religious, cool, please don't use your religion as an excuse to be an asshole to other folks, thanks.

They’re Lying, Dividing, And Distracting. Don’t Believe The GOP’s Shutdown Hype “This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants—that’s already against the law," said Sen. Mark Warner. "It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.”

Your friendly reminder that undoc workers actually _help subsidize federal programs for everybody else_.

In 2022 alone, they paid $25.7 billion into Social Security and $6.4 billion into Medicare—programs they can’t access due to their legal status👇🏽

A Powerhouse Writer Found One Word to Change the Debate About Tech

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it.
