Not true.
At least with the Iran war, Congress have the power to stop the funding in December. It takes a bit of courage to stand up to Trump.

Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Cmte, says “we can end Trump’s war with iran, but not with the snap of our fingers.”
Congress could in fact end the war with one line in the CR. Murray is suggesting here she intends to fund the war into 2027.

Freedom of Speech is a paramount right in this country. It is wrong that Seattle’s own Climate Pledge Arena is reportedly blocking Macklemore’s performance. I call on Climate Pledge to make every effort to ensure Macklemore is able to perform in his own hometown arena.
Seattle is better than this.
Seattle is better than this.
Community note
The First Amendment protects against government restrictions on speech. A private venue can choose which artists to book, including declining an artist because of the artist’s statements or political views.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled on this.

I am outraged by Section 219 that integrates our military with Israel's.
This needs to be top priority in the lame duck.
I am pushing every Democrat and our leadership to get Section 219 out of our defense bill.

QUICK: Your less politically engaged friends are sharing "Blexas" memes. Redirect them to the cool, progressive wins right here in Seattle and maybe, JUST MAYBE, they will want to get more politically involved in their community!!! theburnerseattle.com/post/progressi…

When millionaires get a tax break, our hospitals and health care clinics pay the price.
Doctors know this. That’s why the Washington State Medical Association is opposing I-645.
I-645 would repeal the millionaires tax, give a tax break to the wealthiest, and defund social services and health care access in the process.
We won't stand for this.
Washington: Vote NO on I-645!

Great scoop by @hannahkrieg - this is how corruption enters city hall if it is not stopped.
NEW: Ex CM Sara Nelson's new dark money group just threw $30k behind D5 candidate Julie Kang with the explicit promise of anonymity for donors to avoid public backlash. Now a progressive PAC has filed complaints and is determined to daylight the donors. theburnerseattle.com/post/new-dark-…

Thank you @RepRoKhanna @RepThomasMassie for your principled America First leadership
There is nothing less America First than waging an unconstitutional war to defend the corrupt Saudi regime
The Saudis should use diplomacy to resolve their dispute

BREAKING 🚨 Bipartisan anti-war champions @RoKhanna & @RepThomasMassie will force a Yemen War Powers vote to prevent renewed US direct bombing and to stop US targeting assistance for Saudi regime bombing of Yemen

“Other items that may disrupt” UW’s state of the university program is so funny, like just in case you found a new way to protest, that’s banned too!

And for anyone looking for an alternative to Archie McPhee, we have @AndaluzSeattle here in Columbia City, where the owner will NEVER support anti-trans legislation or regressive taxes andaluz-seattle.com
NEW: Archie McPhee owner apologizes for $10k donation to LGW, asks for refund and gives it to the campaign defending queer and trans people. Turns out, he didn't want to support anti-trans stuff, he just wanted to protect the interest of the ultra wealthy! theburnerseattle.com/post/archie-mc…

Maybe LGW should have stuck to its core billionaire-funded mission of pure corporate greed and stayed out of cringe-inducing hate legislation.

I’m introducing the Green New Deal for Public Schools with @SenMarkey to invest in safe, healthy, zero-carbon, classrooms to lift up our entire public education system.
In the richest country in the world, we should have the best public schools in the world.
