– Give up your Tesla. And if you don’t have a Tesla, you can give up any car. I gave up a gas-electric hybrid a couple years ago and I don’t miss it.

– Eastern Washington’s Representative Baumgartner’s town hall making national news, and snark.

– Stop covering for abusers, Mayor Harrell.

– Today is a good day to contact your legislator or member of Congress.

    Looking forward to a threatened King or Snohomish County conservative in a Tesla emphatically demonstrating – with a single well-placed headshot – the benefits of CCW.

    NEW — On March 19, a masked male suspect hunted down a woman for driving a Tesla in the Seattle area.

    The suspect allegedly followed the victim, cut her off, stopped in the middle of the road, exited his vehicle, and demanded she sell her Tesla, stating it was a “Nazi” car.

    This incident occurred in Lynnwood, WA, where there have been several attacks on Tesla vehicles and store property.

    The Bidens want back in
    With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding.

    Democrats find themselves adrift, casting about for a compelling messenger.

    Whoever that is, it’s not Biden, many party activists and donors contend. He’s tethered to the 2024 defeat and, at 82, is a symbol more of the party’s past than its future, they argue.

    “Who’s going to want Joe Biden back in the game?” said a major Biden supporter, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk candidly about him.

    Well, Welfare Queen YLB certainly does, now that ol’ Joe has had a couple of months off to shake his nasty cold. Amirite? I mean, ol’ Joe’s still full of vim and vinegar, and is spoiling for a fight.

    Plus, with The Big Guy taking 10% of everything raised, maybe Hunter will be able to fund a new lawsuit against evil Rethuglicans, claiming he was wronged by those who read his laptop screeds and looked at the photos of him smoking crack and whoring.

    Paul, Weiss found out.

    After meeting over the course of two days the firm’s CEO had hammered out an aggreement on the wording of a public statement about the agreement. White House aids changed the statement to include language about a non-existent agreement by the firm to “not adopt, use, or pursue any DEI policies”. Then subsequently Fat Hitler bumptiously claimed in an interview that the CEO had criticized former partner Pomerantz for his political work.

    Looks like Vance’s re-election effort is going to be a landslide:

    According to the latest from The American Redistricting Project (ARP), the losers might as well be “bluesers” and the winners are (almost) all in the red.

    GOP bastions Idaho and Utah should gain one seat each. But Florida and Texas — wow. A gain of four seats each. Florida only caught up to New York after the 2010 census and by 2030 will be one-third larger. Impressive as that is, Florida’s representation was actually delayed by Census Bureau undercounts in the 2020 census. Texas was undercounted by more than half a million people and Florida by 761,000. Those undercounts cost them one seat each. Overcounts helped Minnesota and Rhode Island hang on to seats they shouldn’t have.

    Arizona is the only genuine swing state to lose or gain, adding one seat after 2030.

    Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin will all lose one seat each. New York is projected to lose two, bringing the Empire State down to 26 EC votes from its historic high of 47 during the 1940s. The biggest loser is California, expected to lose three seats.

    As fearful of “Asians” as Welfare Queen YLB has shown herself to be, I don’t know how she will survive eight years of First Lady Usha Vance.

    “Vance’s Hindu wife” throws Welfare Queen YLB into bigoted, misogynist hysterics. No one treats a woman more viciously than another woman, and we’ll have a front row seat to Welfare Queen YLB’s twattish viciousness.

    A strong US steel industry is important for national security reasons. We can hardly go to war with China if we have to purchase steel from them in order to manufacture weapons of war.

    Philip K. Bell: Trump’s tariffs are saving the American steel industry

    China’s steel exports in 2024 reached near-record highs of more than 110 million metric tons, as its domestic demand has collapsed. Prices around the world are falling.

    This has driven higher U.S. imports from the countries that were exempted from the steel tariffs, even as U.S. demand has softened. U.S. finished steel imports were more than 630,000 metric tons higher in 2024 than in 2023, with Canada, Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil — all exempt from the tariffs — the four largest sources.

    The domestic industry’s shipments, in contrast, declined by 3.6%. The American steel industry’s capacity utilization rate has fallen to 75%, well below the 80% minimum target set by the Commerce Department in 2018, and nearly three percentage points lower than it was this time a year ago.

    Published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, from a guy who knows a little bit about the steel industry:

    Philip K. Bell is the president of the Steel Manufacturers Association.

    However, as a real lawyer, I do not recommend responding to brake checking and flipping the bird with gunshots. That will land you in jail, too.

    People have a right to defend themselves, but the level of force used must be commensurate with the threat. Washington law permits lethal self-defense only where there is an imminent threat of death or grave bodily harm to oneself or others.

    Tone-deaf billionaire calls seniors who complain about “missing” Social Security checks “fraudsters”:

    At one point in the wide-ranging, nearly two-hour conversation, Lutnick also said that if Social Security “didn’t send out their checks this month,” his “mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.”

    “She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining,” the billionaire businessman said.

    “Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing,” he said. “Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.”

    I don’t know about the “liberal” part, this behavior is more typical of Republicans, and we’re starting to see Trumpers get upset over what they voted for, but “bravery” is not a term I would use to describe this bully and jerk. “Criminal” also fits, because what he did meets the statutory definition of assault.*

    * Contrary to popular belief, physical contact is not a required element of the crime of assault. The common law definition of assault, used in Washington, includes “putting another in apprehension of harm.” Thus, aggressive behavior without physical contact can constitute the crime of assault in Washington.

    No wonder maxie asshat is so exercised about basement ADUs.

    Table 1 describes ADU laws in the 14 states that have broadly legalized ADU construction.

    The last column indicates whether states require localities to permit both attached ADUs (e.g., basement apartments or another part of the primary structure that serves as a separate unit) and detached ADUs (e.g., backyard cottages). California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, and Colorado are set in boldface because they prevent localities from adopting all three of these key ADU obstructions and require localities to allow both attached and detached ADUs
