@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."

The empathy struggle when cuts hit WA’s Trump country They're squealing east of the mountains about the federal job cuts and the disruption caused by tariffs. One awkward question is: Should we care?

They're squealing east of the mountains about the federal job cuts and the disruption caused by tariffs, writes columnist Danny Westneat. One awkward question is: Should we care?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s spelled Colombia. Not Columbia.

Starting an avoidable trade war is not strength. It’s weakness.

Strength would be able to fix this without pouting and throwing a fit. Trump is still a child, a weak, scared, whiney, child

What Does “Best Available Science” Mean?  Here are three concepts that everyone who recognizes the essential value of science should know—and be prepared to defend against bad-faith attacks.
