@Unpop_Science Good luck with that. Supporting the invasive amount of Sea Lions is the equivalent to supporting Carp in the Great Lakes.

I need to finally speak up and share what’s been weighing heavy on my mind the last few hours since the operating budget debate. Rep. @theJoShPENNER brought an amendment forward that would have appropriated funding for the implementation of HB 1092: a bill providing for the removal of a child from a drug abusive home. This would fix a problem under the Keeping Families Together Act where currently the law prevents removals. Read the full bill here: lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2025-… I will tell you this: Republicans fought SO HARD for the babies and the kids that are left behind and suffering because their parents or guardians are so hooked on their love of drugs. I’m posting a floor speech from Rep. @TravisSCouture who spoke about the reasons this funding and this bill was needed. (GRAPHIC WARNING) However, while few Democrats joined the Republicans to say yes, they were outweighed by many Democrats saying no… I watched this from the gallery. I’m sick after seeing that vote. I am angry, like really angry. How can anyone be so heartless about saving little babies and kids from dangerous situations? I honestly don’t have a lot of words to say. I’m just stunned. I think what made it worse was that Rep. Julia Reed was actively posting from her Bluesky account during the debate. Here’s how she described the moment when Travis begged and pleaded with the House to do something now: “Screaming into your microphone just isn't the way to get your point across. But this Republican speaker definitely loves this style.” - Rep. Reed I don’t even know how to respond to that…I dare say now is the time to scream so hard into the mic until something is done. Even just one child lost under the current law is one to many. But we have hundreds now. And even the frontline workers are screaming to please do something! This issue hits me hard for the reason that we had such an incident in my district, the 19th. Oakley Carlson, who was under the care of DCYF, ended up being placed back into the hands of her abusive parents. Oakley has now gone missing, presumed dead now by the courts, and her parents are in custody. But DCYF knew of the situation, but chose poorly in the end. Now we have a presumed dead child because of that action. My heart weighs very heavy today, and I don’t think I can get over what I witnessed last night. Kids and babies are dying at high rates, and Democrats are fine with not addressing the issue for another year…another year where possibly 100 more kids will die under DCYF’s watch. Watch this video, then watch the vote from the video reposted below. If it makes you upset, call or email your legislators (particularly from Dem districts), and demand they support child welfare reform to save the kids and the babies.

First amendment by Rep. @theJoShPENNER reads: “Increases ongoing funding in the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Office of Attorney General, and the Department of Children, Youth, and Families Children and Families Services program for the implementation of House Bill No. 1092 (children/controlled sub.).” Republicans read and told many stories and spoke on personal experiences on children dying under the Keeping Families Together Act, however Democrats voted it down anyway.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 First Stephen Colbert’s show will be ending, now @JimmyKimmelLive is off the air. Late night shows are starting to become unpopular I dare say.

My latest article explores recent trends in mass shootings and reveals some startling facts. Of the 5 most recent school shootings which met the FBI definition of mass shooting: · 5 out of 5 shooters were associated with online NVE groups like 764, NLM, MKY or TCC (all parts of "Com"). · 4 out of 5 shooters were under the age of 18. · 4 out of 5 shooters obtained their guns illegally. · 2 out of 5 shooters were explicitly associated with the LGBTQ+ movement. · 1 out of 5 shooters were transgender. These facts paint a very clear and very concerning picture - American youth are being radicalized into committing acts of terror against their peers within harmful online communities. Politicized gun bans would not have prevented 4 out of 5 of these shootings, which were committed by minors with stolen guns. So, how can we prevent mass shootings without compromising our rights?(cont.)

The thing that gets me most here is that the kids were there and this will probably be among the first memories of at least the older one…unspeakably awful.

I’ll work with anyone on the right to appeal to our better angels. We have to go toward more empathy and love for one another, not toward more hate. If this moment is used to drive hate and division, it’ll be a second tragedy today. Let’s remember we’re all Americans together.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the governor of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a presidential candidate and former president of the United States and now current president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken. Nothing I can say can bring back Charlie Kirk."

An entire generation under the age of 30 is coming to realization that having a family and home will never be within the grasp of reality for them Society is not ready for the consequences of this. A generation with no stake in the system would rather watch it burn

Was curious what a theoretical GOP "gerrymander" would look like. Biggest changes are giving more of suburban Pierce to WA8 while removing Eastern King and WA 1 expanding eastward and taking more rural GOP areas while WA 2 takes Dem areas in North Puget Sound.

While WA has no intention of re-drawing its congressional districts, I was curious to see if it was possible to create a map with 10 safe-d seats, and it is, but it’s pretty wonky. All seats are between Harris +14 and Harris +24, the 9th remains majority-minority VAP.

With former Sen Sherrod Brown set to challenge appointed incumbent Sen Jon Husted next year, I wanted to show the last time a Senator lost reelection, then returned two years later. It was WA GOP Sen Slade Gorton, who lost his seat in Reagan’s 6-year-itch election…1/2 👇🏻🗺️
