Campaign finance activist Conner Edwards’ quixotic quest to recall Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson from office was intended to prod the governor into filling two vacant seats on the state’s Public Disclosure Commission. It worked.https://www.kuow.org/stories/recall-effort-against-washington-governor-ends#KUOW #News #Politics

@Free_Press - oh look, they used to have the EU flag as carpet

@RantingCanuck Healthcare, free at the point of need. In the UK it's the NHS they are busy defunding so that it doesn't work as well, and they can bring in US-style private healthcare instead.

Their experiences — of sudden financial insecurity, months of unemployment, and crippling anxiety — come as the administration seeks to restrict legal migration and boost mass deportation.https://www.kuow.org/stories/stuck-in-limbo-millions-of-professionals-risk-losing-legal-status-under-trump-pause#KUOW #News #Politics #Immigration

@grrlscientist WTF! Can’t even get the simple things correct The dumbest administration is US history. And most corrupt POTUS

@jhy001 I do agree. And yet, sometimes they’re a little repetitive, sometimes outright redundant – but I like it.

#KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHousecorrespondentsdinner#politicsOf all the things that happened last night, this was probably the weirdest, what Karolying Leavitt said .

@f800gecko My only disagreement with your original statement is that it's basically pro MAGA propaganda that makes it seem like Israeli defense isn't predominantly a right wing issue now.

“There’s been a big push for many of these facilities to [develop] on-site electric generation. But even that is almost always reliant on commodities that affect prices for everybody. If you install natural gas generation at your facility, you’re still using the same natural gas that’s being sold across #Texas.” https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-legislature-data-center-boom-water/ #AI #energy #politics #USpol #tech #news

You'll have read (or heard) today a lot of invective about the House of Lords role in obstructing the Assisted Dying Bill; certainly, many people are concerned that the un-elected element of our governing structure has obstructed a legal measure passed by the democratic lower house.However, as Prof. Mark Elliott argues its not quite as simple as that (not least due to the character of the original bill). His balanced view is worth a read.#AssistedDying #politics https://publiclawforeveryone.com/2026/04/24/the-fall-of-the-terminally-ill-adults-end-of-life-bill-a-constitutional-outrage/

YANWEN2016 2026/04/24 “海上拦截行动”还产生了新的作用，为维护全球贸易公正而执法；美国将发挥先进国家的另一优势，以达到遏制“中国文化流向全球” 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四加大对伊朗的压力，命令美国海军对任何在霍尔木兹海峡布雷的伊朗船只使用致命武力，同时美军正试图扣押另一艘与伊朗有关的油轮。五角大楼又发布一条视频，显示美军登上了“Majestic X”号，这是一艘与伊朗有关的印度洋油轮，据称运载伊朗政权生产的石油。五角大楼补充说，“受制裁的行为者不会被允许藏身于国际水域”。表明随着美国封锁的持续，可能会有更多扣押行动随之而来。伊朗媒体也流传了视频，显示蒙面的美军突击队登船，冲突已超越言辞和警告。特朗普表示，该船在试图突破封锁时无视警告，美国海军陆战队在关闭其发动机后接管了控制权。德黑兰周四对Majestic X扣押事件没有立即回应。特朗普随后将被扣押的货物描述为“来自中国的礼物”。中国作为伊朗石油的最大买家，德黑兰允许中国油轮继续通过该海峡，与部分驶往巴基斯坦和印度的油轮并行。又一次冲突的升级也使市场反应迅速，交易员们开始评估美伊停火可能破裂的风险。交易员们是根据过去的经验，评估未来的可能风险：一旦谈判不能进行，和平局面破坏就会导致各种不稳定。但是，未来从现在开始，已更改了之前的规则。全球的公共执法更加明确，也将带来稳定。#News #Commentary #Politics #Theravada

@ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen It's all the more frustrating since if Starmer had asked almost anyone old enough to remember the Blair govts that person would have counselled to not touch Mandelson with a barge pole.
