A man with blue Celtic face paint, Mel Gibson as William Wallace in the film Braveheart, stares into the distance looking determined. White text to his left says, "They may take our lanes, but they'll fix our roads." - Paveheart.

Heads up travelers in Kitsap, Pierce & Thurston counties! Nighttime lane reductions are coming next week (7/14) to SR 16 near Gig Harbor & I-5 in Olympia.

We're taking lanes but giving smooth rides by late summer!

Musk Blasts Trump’s ‘Ingratitude’ After Flap Over GOP Tax Bill The rift between Donald Trump and Elon Musk widened on Thursday, with two of the world’s most influential figures trading insults over the Republican tax policy bill at the center of the president’s agenda.

BREAKING: Trump threatens to cancel Musk's government contracts as "the easiest way to save money" as their relationship crumbles

Billionaires and CEOs know Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pay for their tax cuts.

So where are the billionaires who should be saying, “Wait…don’t cut my taxes if it means kids go hungry or die from treatable cancer”?

This is why the rich are villainized by every day folks.

They are reviewing them all for bikes and pedestrians. That doesn’t mean they will need to have those types of improvements. Gods these people are dense. 🙄

Medicaid covers 40% of births. Medicaid covers 49% of American children. We have a party in power that sold making Americans, especially kids, "healthier again". You don't do this with 880 billion in Medicaid cuts. You don't do this with environmental regulatory cuts. You don't do this with cuts to school lunch and mental health programs. You can ban red dye, you can talk a big talk. But if you cut Medicaid, you hurt American children. Full stop.

Fun fact: My handle came from venture bros.

The Price of Remission When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

If you mean skinny jeans > big pants, then you’re incorrect. But I’m also from the glorious time of jncos.

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Relatable.

Ah yes. Does yours also beep when he backs up? J/k I beep for him. 🤣

Have You Seen My Stapler

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is giving “made for tv” movie.

Gray and white Siamese cat lies on her back with her front paws curled up and head tilted like she was rubbing it on the bench. A chicken forages in the bright geek grass below. A smattering of yellow dandelions pop out of the grass.

Happy caturday!

Fired, rehired, and fired again: Some federal workers find they're suddenly uninsured Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

I rarely go on fb anymore but sometimes need to for work. Yesterday, I saw a post in the town fb group about inclusive bathrooms. I live in a red county in a blue state. When I tell you this thread was sick, it’s not an exaggeration. We are in 1930s Germany #transkidsexist #transkidsarekids

Trump cuts affect WA school food supply A number of school districts are scrambling to change menus for next year's meals because the USDA halted support of programs to buy local produce and fish.

A federal program helped 850,000 Washington students get fresh food from local farmers. The Trump Administration canceled it.

We must prepare for the crisis that looms ahead for working families across Washington.

That starts with a balanced approach to our state budget.

I have to assume that Kristi Noem had $3,000 in cash because she had just sold children to a human trafficking ring, and it would have been $10,000 but she had just made a drop for some Fentanyl that she was on her way to pick up.

CATS: I am but a fly in the system’s ointment and I answer to nobody. I am a thorn in big brother’s side, and one day they’ll allll line up to kiss my ring, and then I shall show them the true meaning of power in no uncertain terms and also can you unstick my claw from this curtain I am baby
