When the marijuana initiative ran, Governor Inslee was opposed to it. But as soon as it passed, he supported implementation. I hope that can be the case on social housing now that the initiative has passed pretty overwhelmingly despite Mayor Harrell and most of the City Council members supporting the other option. It’s a tougher needle to thread when your pictures were on the mailer, but I do hope they try.
If you live in the city and want the Council to actually work to make social housing a reality, well they’re hearing from Amazon, maybe they could hear from you.

Republicans are Nazis.
Obviously. And proudly so.
Right track, 47%. Wrong track, 46%.
Obama never managed to do it.
A thing that under normal times would have every 4 Star, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, every GOP Senator, Fox News, Military Times calling for the IMMEDIATE firing of the Sec of Defense?
Going to Europe and telling the world publicly that the strongest military force in the world is no match for the Russian Navy. A navy that has lost a bunch of assets to Ukrainian drones in the last couple years.
And yet that’s exactly what Pete Hegseth said in Europe while most of us were still asleep.
@2 because they all voted fir eggs and gas and not killing the fags and spics.
Unemployment os about to surge, prices are up, inflation spiked…
Enjoy the next 30-60 days.
Kept the name, just changed the whole purpose. It was originally a program created under Obama.
The approach should be familiar to libbies. Obamacare was started by taking a House-passed bill that pertained to something else, gutting it in its entirety, replacing the content with ACA verbage, and then ramming it through the Senate after midnight just before Xmas prior to the House vote. See, it’s a spending bill that originated in the House, as mandated by Congress.
Thanks for the idea, Barack!
@ 4
prices are up, inflation spiked…
Enjoy the next 30-60 days.
Howz about we revisit the past 120 days instead?
The rate of inflation has climbed in each month since September.
October CPI was higher than September’s.
November CPI was higher than October’s.
December CPI was higher than November’s.
January CPI was higher than December’s.
Inflation has already spiked. You libbies just ignored it because it happened before DJT47 assumed control of the government.
Well, full control, anyway. He was shadow president since November 6.
Sounds like a mandate to me.
Jeffries agrees, apparently.

Press release from the House Budget Committee:
Republicans have come to an agreement that will allow passage without needing Democrat support.
Here’s the budget:

There will be:
$1.5 trillion in spending cuts
$300 billion in additional funding for border security and defense
Smith’s ghost @ 9:
Gas is up almost $.02 overnight which is not supposed to happen in February baring a major supply disruption.
From Google’s AI:
Why else might gasoline prices rise?
Predictions based on an overnight rise in gasoline prices are as silly as Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s 10/20/17 prediction that GE shares were on solid footing, because they closed higher earlier that day.
@11 take the plug out of your ass, your shit is backing up.
@11
How cute. Now explain the difference between ‘Heating Gas’ and $120 Fill ups.
Average USA Pump prices jumped nearly $.02.
Cold snaps usually LOWER the demand for gasoline as fewer people drive especially if it is snowing.
Gas is up $.04 in a week. And if you have the misfortune of owning a German or other high performance car, up $.32.
But thank you for pointing out that Grandma shut in will ALSO be paying more for not getting frostbite as well.

You’re ignoring the seasonality:
1. Generally a fourth of the refineries go offline this time of year for maintenance. Demand might be lower but so is supply.
2. The nadir is generally in early February. Since we’re in mid-February, this is when the seasonal price rise is picking up:
Arguing that an overnight rise is relevant is silly. Doubling down on it is sillier still.
‘Nother one. Assistant United States Attorney Southern District of New York. John Roberts Clerk. Federalist Society Fellow.
Mr. Bove.
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S. Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefor never had the opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decisions not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In Short, the first justification for the motion = that Damian Williams’s role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. Attorneys – is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse. No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of the generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. Attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer withing earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it is never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York
Cheers. Dumbfuck thinks he’s getting a tax cut. Instead he’s getting 8 percent interest rates, 6 percent inflation, $5 per gallon gas, his insulin injections rising to $100, and a tax hike.
But what other choice does he have at this point but to pretend.
He signed on for kleptocratic fascism so he could watch some Jews, queers, and brown people suffer. He knew there would be a price tag. Here it is.

@ 17
… thinks he’s getting a tax cut.
I think I’m getting an extension of the DJT45 tax cuts, and to entice blue state Dems to replace the fiscal GOP hawks who won’t support it, there will be a restored SALT deduction without limitation (or with a limit far higher than what currently exists).
I know the wealth gap separating me from Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit and from Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids will widen substantially, which is fine because I’m on the good side of that gap.
Before Dumbfuck humiliates himself let me just update everyone here, the 95th percentile of AGI sits at $6 million.
Within recent memory this fucking idiot clown complained about the price of gas over $3, the price of eggs over $4, the price of a ferry crossing from Clinton to Mukilteo, the price of Kirkland brand cat food, and the price of Purina Horse Chow for his spavined mare standing unsheltered in the snow right now in a dank, wooded compound buried in the woods somewhere outside of Useless Bay on Whidbey Island.
Facts are evidence.
Appears I was too late.
The stupid, easily disproven lying is an uncontrollable reflex.
Fucked Around:
Alabama voted red, as usual. Huntsville county voted red, as usual.
Found out:
Huntsville residents this week got a notification that because Elon froze the electricity assistance subsidy because residents of Huntsville county have been considered too poor to pay for their own lights for decades, will get an additional $100 offset fee per residence payable by March 1st.
That’s on top of the 4% increase in rates the City Council approved that began on January 1st.
Huntsville’s White population precent almost exactly matches the percent of vote for Trump. Weird.

I don’t know where you got your figure, but in the 2022 tax year IRS.gov has it at $261,591.

What you are claiming is that 5% of the nation’s taxpayers have incomes equal to or greater than $6 million. That’s just simply bullshit.
Awhile ago the “top 1%” was something libbies loved to bash. I looked it up and the top 1% income at the time was in the $375k range. It’s doubled since I last looked it up:
Now, square that with your claim that the top 5% have AGIs of $6M or more. Please show your work, including a link.

It’s a good thing that newly confirmed DNI director and former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard frowns on this sort of intrusion.
Utah Republican Party is voting on legislation to allow the open display of Nazi flags, KKK flags and robes, swastikas, burning crosses, and other symbols celebrating white supremacy and the Nazi party while outlawing any depictions of rainbow flags or pride flags in any setting.
On Fox and Friends Tom Homan openly admitted to the quid pro quo arrangement for the dismissal of criminal charges against corrupt New York mayor Eric Adams. When asked by hosts what would happen if Adams failed in his agreement to cooperate with warantless kidnappings, Homan said that he expected to hold Adams to the agreement by going to his office and “getting up his ass” and that the charges can always be re-filed later on.
But I don’t regret my friendship with Epstein. No way I could have gotten tail that young in Redmond, and certainly not in Medina.

About 200 of the BPA’s 3,000 employees so far have accepted the Repubican buyout proposal to go on paid vacation until next fall and then retire with full benefits. The ranks of those departing are concentrated among senior field supervisors and engineers in line maintenance and operations. An additonal 90 job offers for workers being hired to replace normal retirements have now been rescinded. Another 400 probationary employess are expected to be fired, bringing the total workforce reduction to about 20%.
BPA is an entirely self-funded that accepts zero tax dollars from the U.S. treasury.
Whidbey Island receives 100% of its electrical utility service from Pugest Sound Energy. PSE obtains about 70% of its wholesale electrical energy from BPA.
Good thing dumbfuck put in that gen set. Too bad for him that diesel and propane will double in price.

Here’s the clearest evidence yet that Adams was bribed.
@5 “Obamacare was started by taking a House-passed bill that pertained to something else, gutting it in its entirety, replacing the content with ACA verbage, and then ramming it through the Senate after midnight just before Xmas prior to the House vote.”
Obamacare: Millions of people now have health insurance who didn’t have it before.

The dumbfuck doctor thinks they’re the same, but they’re not.
Fred Trump Sr. was arrested attending a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927.
Close of business on the fourth day of Bove/Bondi not finding anyone willing to sign and file the dismissal of the Eric Adams case.
So why doesn’t one them just do it themselves? They are both fully qualified to do so within the Federal Court system.
Because filing is also swearing to the veracity of the decision that the case its not prosecutable. And then they would likely have to go before the court and make that claim again. And lying to a judge in federal court can pretty easily get you disbarred.
So they need to find someone willing to risk THE REST of their legal career to do it for them because they are far to chickenshit to do it themselves.
Bove definitely can’t do it because he’s making statements on air that the dismissal is tied to Adams ‘behaving’.
Things that don’t seem connected but they are.
The Texas Measles outbreak has climbed to 48 cases.
Donald bans federal funding from schools with a Covid Vaccine mandate.
@6 In other words, prices weren’t going down in the final months of Biden’s presidency. Well guess what, they’re not going down in the first weeks of Trump’s presidency, either.
The inflation rate has come down a lot, but there’s still inflation. To get a declining CPI, you need deflation, which isn’t happening.
A more pertinent data point is whether inflation will accelerate under Trump. His tariffs and deficit-increasing tax cuts for the rich guarantee it will.
The question to ask voters when the 2026 elections approach is, “Are you better off than you were two years ago?” It’s hard to see how they will be, when they’re paying much higher prices for imported goods, have lost their health coverage, and are losing their jobs.
@7 This will work out well for Republicans if they bring peace and prosperity to everyone, not just Putin, themselves, and Musk.

Aileen Cannon would do it. In exchange for a grant of Executive immunity and a SCOTUS appointment.
Nixons all the way down.
@10 Dumbfuck sez:
He omitted $4.4 to $4.7 trillion of tax cuts, which is more than $1.2 trillion in net savings, and therefore will increase deficits, balloon the debt, and reverse inflation’s downward trend. And that’s before you account for tariff inflation and higher grocery prices from deporting agricultural workers.
By the way, how much sense does it make to spend $300 billion to make groceries more expensive? You have no fucking sense, doctor.
@11 Apparently the dumbfuck doctor doesn’t know the difference between the gas you put in cars and the gas you heat homes with.
Funny language, English. Sometimes the same word is used for two different things. Most kids learn that by third grade. How did he get in medical school with a second grade education?

They’ll all be fired. It’s easier for them to get law firm jobs than get their licenses reinstated.
Let’s skip over the fact that Lara Trump’s qualifications to comment on legal matters consists of (1) a culinary degree in pastry, (2) job experience as a personal trainer, and (3) acquiring her last name by having big knockers.
Read her “X” post here. She’s arguing AOC should be arrested for “helping immigrants.”
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-free-speech/
My question for Lara is, if helping immigrants is a crime, does this apply to immigration lawyers, too? Should all the immigration lawyers be arrested for helping immigrants?
This is why we need terms like “airhead” and “twit” in our dictionaries.
@49 Well, lookee here. The motion to dismiss is signed by Bove. I guess they couldn’t get anyone else to do it.
It will if he can ever figure out how to put out the tire fire and get rid of all the half-burnt tires.

Two-thirds of that isn’t under Trump’s administration. It’s also the fourth straight monthly increase in the rate of inflation, which also isn’t Trump.

No mention of a judge intervening, so perhaps NNSA managers persuaded higher-ups in the Trump administration that mass layoffs of people who maintain, transport, and guard U.S. nuclear weapons isn’t such a hot idea.
