@JackOtter @HarmeetKDhillon @Uber @Uber_Support They also need to solve for @uber drivers accepting a ride and then not moving for 15 minutes. Last time I had to cancel and schedule a @lyft even though my driver was supposedly parked just down the road.

Hey @uber: If you are going to give users the ability to reserve cars ahead of time, you have to solve for last-second driver cancellations. My airport ride cancelled at pickup time, and it took 33 minutes for me to get another ride. That is terrible service. @Uber_Support

Breaking: WA State reversed course and released information on new taxpayer-funded daycare grant recipients. Why on God's green earth is the city of Republic getting $8.2M to open 40 new daycare slots, when a facility in Camas is able to open 156 spaces with just $2M? Thanks to @future42org for sharing the scoop!

@ScottPresler Ken Paxton or bust!!

If President Trump — who is the leader of the Republican Party & an immensely powerful voice — endorsed anyone other than Ken Paxton for the Texas Senate runoff, would you still vote for Ken Paxton? (I want people to see publicly what you have to say.) 🗓️ Tuesday, May 26th

Omg, hilarious

@Nate_Esparza Sitting on @SoundTransit with druggies passed out next to you

@SeattlePD Why does he look familiar?

@TheBabylonBee That’s not even worse than the real rumors, so I’m not sure where the humor is.

ONE PARTY RULE WA Democrats passed an income tax & the state Supreme Court ruled voters cannot challenge the law by a voter referendum, so now they have to do the harder path of voter initiative. Emails show lawmakers worked with the AG to bypass a referendum.

@SenBillCassidy Senator Bill Cassidy said he will vote for Senator Thune as Majority Leader — again. I’m asking every Republican in Louisiana to vote AGAINST Cassidy this Saturday: 🗓️ Sat., May 16th

@CityofTacoma Heck, I’ll donate to purchase some private property for ICE to use since my local government is absolutely worthless.

The Tacoma City Council unanimously passed Ordinance 29105, to prohibit the unauthorized use of municipal property for civil immigration enforcement at the May 12, 2026, #TacCouncil meeting. To read the full release and to learn more, visit tacoma.gov/immigrationres….

@Eric_Schmitt @GabeGuidarini What is the progress?

We don’t just have an illegal immigration problem — we have a legal immigration problem. I’ve been sounding the alarm on H1 B and OPT abuse for a while now. We’re making real progress. Keep fighting.

@LynnwoodTimes My Lynnwood house is worth about 100K less than what I paid for it a few years ago. That’s definitely going to make it harder to sell and leave the state.

🚨Seattle Home Prices Continue to Fall as Zillow Forecasts Declines in 309 Metro Markets Home values in Seattle have kept sliding, posting a 2.5 percent decline over the past year to reach a typical price of $871,599 as of late April 2026, with a 2027 projection of another 2.1 percent decline. With mortgage rates remaining elevated in the Seattle area, the price of home sales has cooled. However, properties still move relatively quickly once listed, going to pending in about eight days on average. Local real estate activity in the greater Seattle region, which includes nearby suburbs such as Lynnwood, mirrors the city trends where homeowners hold properties that have appreciated substantially over the last 15 years, even with recent softening. Nationally, the picture has been more stable. The typical U.S. home value stood at $368,198 in April 2026, marking a 0.6 percent increase from the previous year, according to Zillow. Looking ahead, however, Zillow’s revised forecast points to subdued growth at best through spring of 2027. Zillow projects a 0.0 percent change in national home prices from March 2026 to March 2027. That flat outlook comes after an earlier prediction of 0.5 percent appreciation. An analysis of Zillow’s projections by Lance Lambert, shows declines forecast in 309 out of 894 metro housing markets across the country. The balance of markets are expected to register price increases, producing the near-zero national result. Among major metros, projected gains top out around 5 percent in places like Syracuse, N.Y. On the other side, declines as steep as 7 percent appear in the forecast for markets including Houma, La., with others in Texas and Louisiana also facing notable drops—specifically the Sun Belt region of the United States. The Zillow Home Value Index, which draws on extensive property data to estimate typical values, forms the basis for both the current readings and the forward-looking projections. Updates like the April 2026 figures give homeowners, potential buyers and real estate professionals a consistent measure to track changes.

@SenMikeLee There are currently no extraordinary gaps, therefore…

H-1B should only be used to fill extraordinary gaps in our workforce. It was not meant for the wholesale displacement of Americans in their own industries. Time for a long, long H-1B pause.

@elonmusk Any chance for cli tools?

Grok now has skills

I love how disloyal scumbags and traitors are given jobs in the Trump admin, and loyalists aren’t. The vetting really sucks. But I’ve been saying that for YEARS. Haven’t I? Gets old.

@ValerieFoushee F-1 holders do not FICA taxes for the first five years of residency If you are a masters student this could mean three to four years of tax advantages compared with American citizens for employers. Do you really think this is a fair system Congresswoman?

@OrevaZSN @dancwilliams Most meetings would not make it through the introductions!

Idea: An anonymous “vote to end meeting” button on Teams where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.
