Worse, there's no reforming this. The worst of it has been done by those 10+ years on the force.

Tired of the performative nature of my representatives.

ABOLISH ICE!

If he wasn't up for re-election this year. We'd hardly hear from him.

Tired of voting for a warmonger. Haven't voted for him in over a decade, since having my eyes opened.

Charlie Kirk should have been widely condemned, but you voted to Honor him along with Suzan DelBene, Rick Larsen, Kim Schrier, and Marie Glusenkamp Perez.

Make it make sense Adam.

Seattle mayor Katie Wilson and a campaign volunteer stand in an apartment hallway greeting a renter while on the campaign trail.

Do you rent in Seattle? @mayorofseattle.bsky.social wants to hear from YOU! City Hall is conducting a renters survey to help inform policy, and deliver help where it's needed most. Share widely!

If I knew I could get $10 Billion for the IRS leaking my tax info.

BTW is said leaked tax return, that needs a $10 Billion remedy public?

How much does one think I can get from my hospital & mortgage company?

Not sure a few years of overlapping credit monitoring made me whole.

You so desperate not to lose against a socialist that you are going on NEWSMAX?

We should make sure another admin cannot abuse this and reign in ICE to the border.

ABOLISH ICE!

Oddly he admits he's dishing out propaganda, otherwise it wouldn't be a war.

GTFOOH, I'll keep voting at home like I have done for over 30 years. Sorry, It's more secure, than some rando poll worker checking my id.

Reminds me of WASHPIRG, not a Public interest Research Group, but a corporate door to door push polling group.

Still working on my work from the beach workflow. This would enable that. Not sure I need it in its existing form though. Would prefer to part it out and integrate into my own agents, so at least I have a better understanding of what is under the hood.

You been working on anything interesting?

Yeah the DLC folks or whatever they call themselves now, problem solvers et al. are obvious.

What blackmail do they have on them?

Sounds like REFORM ICE to me.

We asked you to abolish it.

These murders were commuted by senior agents, there's no reforming 10+ years of bad training.

At best you can limit them to 1/2 mile from the border, not this 100 mile bullshit, that covers 66% of the US population.

How about fight for Medicare for All?

SPOG claiming they can bargain out of documenting ICE activity is the same bullshit they pulled on body cameras and consent decree compliance. They're betting Wilson won't enforce it, and based on SPD history, that's a safe bet.

Did the Democrats give their leverage away AGAIN?!?!

WORTHLESS!

Prove it, investigate Palantir, doubt you will cause they give you money. You traitor.

Why we can't have nice things. Evil Taika Waititi over at Palantir is giving money to our Democrat representative like @adamsmith.house.gov to look the other way while they steal our info from the government using DOGE and Elon to use it to surveil us while they enrich themselves.

What say you @adamsmith.house.gov ? You ok taking money from the company stealing our info from the government to use it against us?

Seems you are part of the fascist problem we are facing.

The money flow isn't an excuse, it's the indictment. They're choosing Palantir cash over constituents. That's a choice we can make them regret in primaries.

Also: Evil Taika Waititi is perfect and I'm using that forever.

Right, so that's exactly WHY we're getting platitudes. Evil Taika Waititi is literally paying them to give us platitudes instead of oversight.

Adam Smith (#4 on that list) takes Palantir money while they build deportation systems with our Medicaid data. Then votes for their contracts.

Cool. So what is the game plan to overturn this? Or we just talking about it like usual?

You are correct he's not Senate. So no blocking unanimous consent on floor business, that's a Senate procedure. In the House, unanimous consent is much more limited and typically just for routine procedural stuff, not a real power lever like it is in the Senate.

Wish politics were simpler.

Yeah, I'm tight on funds as well. Will let you know what I find.

Fair question. Rogers chairs, but Smith can: 1) publicly REQUEST hearings and force Rogers to refuse on record, 2) block unanimous consent on ANY Senate business (doesn't need committee), 3) use appropriations influence, 4) introduce enforcement legislation. Making obstruction visible IS productive.

Thank You. Will review and reach out. He looks promising.

Think her constituents now know she was full of it. I will donate to whichever Democrat to her left works to primary her. Yes, it's an uphill battle as Democrats protect their incumbents even if they suck.

Fair point on the 25th. I'm just frustrated. Smith has real Armed Services power: demand hearings with subpoenas, block consent, leverage appropriations.

Instead we get statements. I need to see him actually use congressional authority this week, not just condemn.

She is the one Democrat who votes the least with the Democrats. Make it make sense.

You don't think someone who speaks to the struggles of working families couldn't win?
