A Monday night at the movies. Fun theater and good sounds. We saw “A Complete Unknown.” (So many gray heads in the room.)

More Republican town hall jollies. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.

Ironically, reliably red-voting farmers may be the keystone of Trump’s demise. Federal loans and subsidies have kept agriculture afloat for decades.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Dogs, bikes and paddle boards- we love fake spring Saturdays in #seattle! Burke-Gilman trail is very busy though and some hair-raising shares with skates, electric wheels and elders pushing walkers. Slava Ukraini!

Just got some rad swag from @fitzwaterphoto.bsky.social

The entire 4 years under the Biden Administration, the media told people that the economy sucked. But it didn't suck. Yes, there was inflation, but actual wages rose even more than inflation, so buying power actually improved. Compared to most other nations, our post-Covid economy was enviable.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is on a log scale... We take modern weather forecasting (and other resilience measures) for granted.

Terrible. komonews.com/news/local/k...

Like I said earlier, every accusation is a confession.

Hey boomers. We got MMR vaccines as children because they were miracles. Some of that immunity has lapsed. Consider getting a "titer" to test your immunity, and if it's weak or gone, get an MMR booster. Because measles (and more) is coming back if RFKJr. cripples vaccine programs, as he's doing...

This is the best idea l’ve heard all day. It’s not illegal and no one in Congress would be arrested and miss a day of work for standing up and walking out. Do my reps and sens really need another phone call informing them that Americans expect a functioning Federal government? They need to do more.

If you're not following the #altgov accounts, you are seriously misinformed and misled. I said what I said.

NOAA tracks it all: ✅ Hurricanes ✅ Tornadoes ✅ Wildfires ✅ Flash floods ✅ Tsunamis ✅ Droughts ✅ Heatwaves ✅ Rising seas Cutting NOAA funding is like taking the battery out of your smoke alarm to save money—It makes absolutely no sense. ☠️🔥🌪️🌊 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Warm spring day. Got onto the water for my first #kayaking of 2025! The river was still quiet but the wildlife was as busy as I’ve seen.Three beavers, kingfishers and a deer. Water running high and fast made upstream paddling hard. Tell Congress to preserve CDC vaccine expertise and recommendations.

I'm just gonna put the FEMA news and the NOAA news side-by-side, because the people in Gulf states are F*CKED.

It’s time to shake things up with a walkout of the State of the Union. If the Democrats just leave as he starts speaking, all the reporters will scramble out to interview them. A strong alternate news conference *during* the SOTU will leave Trump and the Rs spluttering. Chaos will reign!

I signed a letter to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development questioning the alarming consequences of DOGE’s recently announced plans to lay off half of HUD’s staff.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

23 February 2025 Volunteer Park, Capitol Hill Seattle, Wash. A break in the weekend rain let me get in a short ride. This bike is such a dream to ride I'm deeply grateful the badly damaged right kneed continues to improve and tolerate pedaling more and more.
