HUD is missing. None of the housing or homeless service orgs seem to have heard from the department of housing and urban development in a few months. Assigned coordinators from the department that help counties reach or stay at federal compliance have been let go. Contracts have been pulled

You may hear the Washington state Republucans get loud over the next few days about "freedom to debate since 1893". That's because legislation has just made it easier to end filibusters with a simple majority vote, instead of a 2/3 majority. HR4607 rule 20

With the attempt to eliminate DEI and Equal opportunity, Trump has opened the door for agism. There is no other argument that needs to be made. Everyone is free to call for the termination of his office due to him being to old to be president.

Just a reminder that police are law enforcement, not Social Service or Mental health providers. And they won the lawsuit to stop the assumption that "to serve and protect" falls under their responsibilities or scope of work.
