Exxon’s chief flat-out called Venezuela “uninvestable” without massive legal and commercial changes.
Let make this face viral, the world needs to see what a killer looks like.
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

At least 20 people have died in ICE custody in 2025, making this year the deadliest in decades. With increases to ICE’s funding, workforce, and detention space, the system riddled with abuse and neglect will undoubtedly be more life-threatening in 2026.

Dr. Luis Marquez shares how Baumgartener promised not to cut Medicaid, but now he's voted for the OBB, which passed with one vote. "Baumgartener is fully responsible for what's to come."
It's pretty hard to hear the speakers, but one speaker from WSU med school is listing a bunch of rural WA hospitals that are under threat of shutting down bc of the cuts to healthcare.
One speaker said that Baumgartener knew that voting Yes for the Big BB was a vote against his constituents. There's slips of paper where ppl can write a note to him.

We're outside the Grand Hotel, where Spokane Congressman Michael Baumgartener is holding a fundraiser with Rep. Jim Jordan and where healthcare workers are protesting the reps' votes cutting healthcare access.
