Guys! Katie Wilson has pulled ahead in the race for Seattle’s mayor!

They’re still counting votes and she’s only ahead by a hair (less than 100 votes!) but the trend lines are looking good!!

Tonight was a very bad night.

We saw Trump carry out one of the most cruel and heartless acts we have ever seen. Using food assistance as political leverage.

We believe children have a right to food.

Nothing says “man of the people” like adding gold trim and a shiny sign outside the Oval Office. Somewhere, Marie Antoinette is whispering, “tone it down.”

We will not stop fighting until the Trump-Vance administration funds SNAP benefits for all 42 million recipients.

The Supreme Court’s Republican majority has weaponized legal interpretation to shield Trump.

By loosening legal standards SELECTIVELY, they are eroding the rule of law and turning the nation’s highest court into a partisan shield - and then they choose to explain themselves on Fox News.

Come on!👇

We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country. Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation. In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees. We know this moment is bigger than us and our industry. Teachers, government employees, law firms, researchers, universities, students and so many more are also facing direct attacks on their freedom of expression. Regardless of our political affiliation, or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power – because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us. This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend and preserve our constitutionally protected rights.

More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

The Dangerous Ones (@thedangerousones) Trump got SO PISSED at Peter Doocy about this interview. It’s clear why. Too much truth got out. 😂🤣 Share this everywhere lol

Forcing all those generals to witness how amateurish and foolish both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are firsthand might increase the chances of illegal orders being ignored in the future.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Chip in to support Kat Abughazaleh! Show your support with a contribution.

The BEST way to help us defeat AIPAC is by donating to my campaign.

Chip in $7, $18, or our average donation $32 (much lower than AIPAC’s, obviously) to help put a grassroots Palestinian-American candidate in Congress: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

It's almost like that's what they plan to do anyway.

The goons that did this to him must be arrested. Outrageous!

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.

Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

Republicans want you to believe that the Biden-Harris Admin. was responsible for the rising costs of goods & services instead of blaming the real culprit, corporate greed. Companies tend to use “economic uncertainty” to justify increasing their prices.

He was just taken into ICE custody.
