I'm kind of with Rep. Kloba on this one--any expansion of sports gambling, in any capacity, isn't a good idea, and the older I get the more I see that we probably never should have gone down this road as a society. #waleg
I'm not quite sure how to explain to Rep. Walsh that someone who gets off on a technicality is still innocent in the eyes of the law. #waleg
Jim Walsh is talking about emissions, and I have jokes, and I'm not going to tell them because it's Friday during Lent and I'm trying to be better. #waleg
Argument now on the House Floor about pulling the Millionaires Tax straight to the floor and bypassing the Appropriations Committee. Interesting. #waleg #SB6346
It's Opposite House Cutoff Day, and the House is still in caucus with 4 hours 30 minutes to go. #waleg
It's pretty clear that Maine Senate is a lost cause at this point. Here's to hoping in North Carolina.
Getting a sinking sense of dread that SB 5901, which is vital for my school district, is likely to die today. I hope I'm wrong, but the clock is ticking. #waleg
The Republicans are trying to attack James Talarico with the Bible, and they kind of suck at it.
This game that the #wagop plays where Keith Swank is just an innocent waif who said things and the damned Democrats are being mean too him is one of the worst bits of Kabuki theater I've seen in Olympia in a while. #waleg #SB5974
As a bearded man I can tell you that Matt Marshall clearly dyes his beard to match his hair, and while that's his choice I'm going to judge him for it anyhow. #waleg
I fully endorse the Get Rid of Keith Swank bill. Dude's a jackass, and Rep. Penner making this about him only highlight why SB5974 matters. #waleg
There's a big part of me that misses the BBS and Usenet days. I still think of Legend of the Red Dragon and Rob Cypher a couple times a year.
One nice thing about the roll call votes in the House is that Rep. Janice Zahn gets her moment to shine by being last in ABC order. #waleg
Another fun post from the #wagop where they sneer at baristas, then have to backpedal in the comments section. #waleg www.facebook.com/watch/?v=438...
Today's Senate Floor action is starting with an apology regarding Senator Leonard Christian's use of the r-slur yesterday, notably coming from Senator Braun, not Senator Christian. #waleg
Looks like everyone stuck around to hear from the schools, so that's nice. #waleg
The agenda was changed to hear the fourth bill third, then adjourned to executive session before hearing 6260 so that they can exec a different bill when they come back. My guess is that there'll only be a handful of folks there for testimony. #waleg
SB6260, the Wellman bill which would make cuts to Running Start, Transitional Kindergarten, and other programs for our schools, is next up for a hearing in House Appropriations. 42 people are signed in to testify (41 con, one other), and the sign-ins are 26 pro, 2 other, 1,853 con. #waleg #waedu
It feels a little ominous that House Appropriations is hearing SB 6260 tomorrow--it makes a ton of cuts to school districts. Wellman said it was surgical, OK, but given the number of districts on the edge right now even surgical could be deadly. #waleg app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...
Crockett voted to approve weapons for Israel. Is she not pro-Israel?
I notice your Tina Peters post isn't On Here, you jackass.
Runoff elections favor the passionate, and Paxton definitely has more passion on his side than Cornyn does.
Decision Desk has Talarico up almost 10 points now. votes.decisiondeskhq.com/races/242466
The number of people On Here saying that they can't support Talarico because he's got strong faith is way, way more than I thought I'd see. Progressives can be people of faith too, folks. #Talarico
Tom Dent is one of those in the #waleg who even if we disagree politically 99% of the time, he seems like someone who genuinely cares and wants to rep his district well. Reminds me of Kretz.
If someone from the #wagop invokes Powder in regards to this amendment, I'll vote for one (1) Republican this November. #waleg
When Jim Walsh talks about how the anarchists are organized. #waleg
I don't want to accuse the members of the #wagop of not reading the damned bill, but the stuff about the undercover officers is literally at the bottom of page 1. #waleg
