Tax legislation signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson targets the last coal-fired power plant in the Pacific Northwest. But if the coal tax and a related pollution fee work as the Legislature intended, the state treasury will never collect a dime under the new law. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/03/11/n...
Couldn't believe he's that vane.
Presidents come and go.
But a corrupt Senator will milk The People for over 30 years.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Absolutely unqualified.

Lord knows we need it!
Accountability at DHS doesn’t stop at one firing.
There must be a change of course. Unfortunately Sen. Mullin is another rubberstamp for Trump’s agenda & the violence ICE has brought to our communities.

ICE was hacked! We now know what companies make up ICE deportation pipeline.
People mobilized in defense of neighbors in South Burlington, VT today after attempted abduction by ICE lead to multiple car crashes.
"On the topic of immigration and border enforcement, Mullin took positions that were directly contradicted by publicly available evidence or were deeply insensitive to the families of the ICE victims. He has never recanted or walked them back."

Excess and monopolies are never good--unless you're playing a game. What game is afoot here? Greed and corruption are usually components. We'll see.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
IT’S UNDENIABLE AND CERTAIN THAT TRUMP IS DOING PUTIN’S BIDDING, in Ukraine, and to decimate/disband NATO and all USA trade & military allies. IMO the KGB brainwashed ignorant child-raping sociopath DJT decades ago, and have funded traitor Trump since the 1980’s. It’s time all Americans realize that
Putin's Russia is helping Iran target US troops in the Middle East.
Ukraine is going out of its way to help US troops defend against Iranian drones.
It's very clear who our friend and ally is. Trump and Republicans should start acting like it.

Russia to U.N. Human Rights Council: “Protecting children is crucial during armed conflict.”
Forgot to Mention: Russia has kidnapped at least 20,000 Ukrainian children during its war against Ukraine.
I love the idea of the US military needing help from Ukraine. Zelenskyy should demand that Trump publicly thank him.
(Not really. The Ukrainians are classier than that, but the idea of Trump needing Z's help really appeals to me.)
Ukraine is actively protecting our troops and Russia is actively helping Iran target them.
But every single time he's tested, Trump sides with Putin. It's the most consistent he is on any topic. No matter what they do, Trump is on Team-Russia.
At this point it really doesn't matter why.
NYT: A military official said Tues afternoon the Navy has NOT escorted ANY civilian ships through the Strait of Hormuz during the current war with Iran.
Energy Sec Chris Wright posted on X that a Navy warship had “successfully escorted” an oil tanker through the strait-a claim HE SOON DELETED. smh
Our politics are fundamentally corrupt. And our economy is rigged against working people because of this corruption.
Is it just me or did Trump just hand Iran the most leverage they've ever had against the west. Trump ran a PR stunt that backfired, killing american soldiers, children and the new leader's father all for Israel. Now they can claim justification to raise gas prices and destroy our economy.
Now all they have to do is this, ~130 more times each day for the foreseeable future, and then everything will be tickety-boo and back to normal
Perspective
Jared Kushner helped cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans.
Then he got $2B from the Saudis.
I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright!

It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they would not allow ‘one litre of oil’ to be shipped from the Middle East if US and Israeli attacks continue, prompting a warning from President Trump that the US would hit Iran much harder if it blocked exports from the vital energy-producing region reut.rs/4bwHKJw
