The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt β€” an historic high.

Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

β€œGolden Age” for whom?

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Oregon Senate Passes Bipartisan Measure Investing

in the State’s Natural Environment and Wildlife

House Bill 4134 relies on taxes paid by visitors in hotels, motels, and other vacation stays

 

SALEM, OR – The same gorgeous landscapes that draw tourists to our state will get new investments funded by those visitors under legislation passed today in the Oregon Senate. A tax on hotels, motels, and vacation stays will help pay for wildfire resilience, invasive-species eradication, wildlife conservation, and prevention of poaching. The broadly supported, bipartisan measure helps reverse decades of underfunding for protection of fish and wildlife.

INBOX: The Oregon Senate passed the 1.25 Percent for Wildlife bill, which will raise the state’s lodging tax by 1.25 percent to fund wildlife conservation programs, mostly through the Dept of Fish and Wildlife. This has been a long time in the making.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

The grasshopper gets it β€” divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

I’d try responding again to your comments justifying Kamala’s loss because she didn’t β€œearn” the votes of some voters who would rather see Trump win then vote for her, but apparently I need crayons and scratch paper.

My friend recently lost his young daughter to a little-studied illness. He is raising money to help save other children with the disease. All you have to do is order some food online from Panda Express and use this code to donate! Easy peasy!

And please share! Thank you!

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women.

As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us:

Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight.

The reality is that on Election Day voters had two choices. Not voting for Kamala was a conscious vote for Trump.

Spare me the must β€œearn my vote” BS. Not voting for Kamala was a vote for Trump. Folks should just admit they wanted Trump/Project 2025/Trump and Bibi’s Gaza plan -more than voting for a Black woman who didn’t β€œearn” their vote.

Amazing statistic. Of course Amy and I are two of those. And no, not all moved to Seattle, as some choose Chicago or elsewhere.
