Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Legislators: Backyard tiny homes on wheels could fill a big housing gap | Cascadia Daily News Quick-install, low-cost β€˜MDUs’ could be WA’s next housing option

Cities like Bellingham have made strides to encourage infill by easing the way for ADUs, or accessory dwelling units, in neighborhoods. The next stage might be state legislation to encourage "mobile dwelling units", two Washington state legislators write in a CDN guest commentary.

Lowering blood-alcohol limit means fewer drunk drivers on WA roads | Op-Ed A bill currently being considered by the Legislature, SB 5067, lowers the BAC limit to 0.05, a level that is based on the science of prevention.

"We want people to separate drinking from driving. The best way to stop drunken driving is to prevent impaired drivers at all BAC levels above 0.05 from getting behind the wheel in the first place.

This is what Trump is calling the "Golden Age."

He turns tariffs off and on like a toddler with a light switch and YOU foot the bill.

I am so glad Randy is home after being illegally detained by ICEβ€”and I am furious that this happened in the first place.

ICE & CBP are out of control. I will do everything I can to rein in these rogue agents.

Yeahhh…I will talk to Joe but I would be very surprised if this bill moved.

Very often an idea that seems good at first is, in fact, not. This is why you should talk to other people before buying something $$ and dangerous AND we should have a public process before we turn a bill into a law.

If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone.

Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to β€œrun” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

No tears shed for Maduro, an illegitimate authoritarian ruler. But what comes next? Trump unilaterally sent American servicemembers to remove a foreign ruler and his plan is that the U.S. will run Venezuela?

There are serious concerns about the risk this poses to American lives + national security.

It is outrageous for a President who is tanking our economy here at home to suggest that the American taxpayer spend a fortune to β€œrun” another country while doing nothing to make life better in America. I opposed the war in Iraq from the outsetβ€”and the parallels here are glaring.
