My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

August 5, Spokane WA ballot measure. For the first time in over 20 years, the city of Spokane WA may join the aquifer protection area, a decision that would raise a tax but also help protect drinking water, according to city officials. Get your ballot in soon as it arrives.

RACISM ALLAROUND
Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

We do not have a free country in this moment. When they can nab someone off the street because they don't like what they say, they can nab anyone.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Dear Humans,
Your great-grandparents prayed for a cure for measles.
You have it—and yet some of you want to 'research' your way back to the 1800s.

Somebody is gambling w WW III, but not Zelensky. It’s the guy who decided to die in office and take us all down with him; 34-time convicted felon, hellbent on serving his own ego, just shot democracy in the head. Who will oppose him, and who will hold the world together while we handle our business?

Yesterday, every American who loves freedom and democracy and the other values for which prior generations fought and sacrificed found themselves aligned against our own president and vice president. The pro-American president in the Oval Office Friday was Zelensky.
