After careful deliberations by the elders, I was accepted into the tribe with the traditional head-kiss blessing. I am honored and grateful ☺️

Summer of 2015 was the most miserable summer for heat that I can remember.

Summer of 2013 was muggy with lots of thunderstorms.

Can 2026 top ‘em both? @KIROCharlie @Weather_West

Remembering Maple today - it was five years ago on this day we said goodbye, yet it still feels like yesterday. I miss you every day, Maple. What a wonderful world it was with you ❤️

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists."

It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries.

But it's funders and motivations have been secret.

Until now.

It's a GOP dirty tricks operation.

This is horrific

[Cheyenne Hunt @CheyenneHuntCA]

The data is keeping up.
A 2026 study found that 1 in 3 Gen-Z men believe a wife should always obey her husband. They are TWICE as likely to believe this as their grandfathers were.
Less than half of American women believe they are treated with basic dignity in this country. That number has fallen 17 points in a decade.

Very proud of my husband for forgoing his severance package to speak out about the desecration he witnessed of the “Trump” Kennedy Center. @theatlantic

@MerriamWebster This led to one of the greatest quote tweets ever:

@MerriamWebster Also an album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young plus a couple of other guys

@MJMcKean It needed to be said

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

When @dfriedman33 discovered a Goodreads page tied to the email of a top Pentagon official featuring books on “Asian wife sharing," he did what any reporter would do: ask the Pentagon questions.

The next day, a threatening email from Jack Posobiec arrived. https://t.co/5deXtQZBpB

@MeidasTouch “This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America”? Trump no longer has the vocabulary to put that sentence together. My money is on Stephen Miller.

“Michael Cohen, a former FEMA chief of staff, said Trump is the first president to openly tie federal disaster aid to political loyalty”

[The Seattle Times @seattletimes]

A year after Washington's bomb cyclone, the Trump administration has withheld aid even as the president has bragged about awards to states that voted for him. https://t.co/L80wbvyqfc
