Are you for or against pedophiles?
Are you for or against pedophiles?
If you live in OR-2, call Cliff Bentz today (202-225-6730) to ask: will he vote YES - along with 100+ Republicans - to release the Epstein Files? If he’s voting NO, why does he support & protect rapists & pedophiles?

Republicans expecting mass defections on Epstein vote
Democrats pushing the discharge petition predicted that Republicans would rush to support the measure once it hit the floor.

Starbucks Workers United are leading one of most important worker organizing fights in the country right now. So unless you're siding with the billionaires we should all be supporting their #strike by boycotting ALL Starbucks stores and products. #NoContractNoCoffee
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

Merrick Garland left a standing impression that no one powerful will ever be held accountable. Democrats should rectify that by saying, loudly and every hour, that people who act on illegal orders will face punishment by the next DOJ.
Dems can say: Are you really sure you want to trust Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? That’s a tenuous position for anyone to put themselves into—and Dems should not hesitate to say so.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

Good news and good on Noel Frame. This year's election results across WA show a *very* clear voter mandate to tax the rich. It's not just Seattle or King County. The whole state wants to tax the rich to fund public services. Dems in Olympia should be wary of resisting that mandate.
Pressure is building for Democrats to take a big swing on taxes, beyond this year’s hikes. How far state Sen. Noel Frame and others pressing for new progressive taxes can deliver on that goal in 2026 is an open question. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/11/14/w...
