A state task force focused on combatting extremism is exactly what you think it is. The Seattle Times really loves platforming whiny workers. The Seattle business community is committing economic self-harm. University trades DEI for MEI. Pirate treasurer on “Florida Report.”

As the state faces a massive budget crisis, where agencies find cost-savings tells you all you need to know about the people in power. Plus: Will Democrats push new taxes to make up the difference? The agency we give millions of dollars to help the homeless sure did a crappy job during last week’s bomb cyclone. Conservative backlash over Trump’s choice for surgeon general.
A state lawmaker will push to make homeless people a protected class – and this time, she may have the votes to do it. Federal judge compares banning men from women’s spaces to “whites only” laws. Pennsylvania commissioner openly admits to counting illegal votes. No, the media didn’t actually believe its own Trump rhetoric.

The following remarks were delivered to the Whatcom County Lincoln Day Dinner on March 23, 2024, in Ferndale, Washington.
I struggled with what to talk to you about tonight.
Well, that’s not true. I didn't struggle with what to talk to you about – I struggled with whether I was brave enough to say what I wanted to say.
When I'm invited to speak to groups, I don't want to offend anyone or be too controversial. So, I reached out to a few of your fellow party members to ask whether any topics were off limits or wouldn't go over well with the crowd.
I got some good advice.
Then I decided to ignore that good advice entirely.
Too much is at stake to be polite.
As we sit here tonight, we are in the final battle of a war.
A war that has pit sanity against insanity.
Pragmatism against idealism.
A war that has sacrificed the public good, in favor of a twisted idea of progress.
It's a war that began long before I moved here 15 years ago. It started silently and it was mostly waged in the shadows.
Most of us didn't even realize that a war was being fought. We were too caught up in our own lives and our own problems. ...
Before he even takes office, Bob Ferguson makes it clear he has every intention of obsessing over the other Washington. Meanwhile, Seattle takes a more cooperative tone. State response to bomb cyclone gets worse by the day. PSE’s poorly timed electrification offer. Addicted to drugs? Here’s a gift card!

Should watch and think about Mick Mulvaney’s unique perspective on Trump’s cabinet choices.
Picking loyalists who can best communicate Trump’s agenda directly to their departments and the American People
Not rely on them for policy but persuasion
Certainly can’t trust the mainstream media.
