Bomb cyclone FEMA denial stings WA as Trump touts aid to red states 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.

The President is a crook โ€”and everyone should understand, when it comes to FEMA, these are taxpayer dollars heโ€™s abusing, this isnโ€™t Trumpโ€™s money.

Trump is punishing Blue states and rewarding Red statesโ€”and he could not be more transparent about his corruption.

Facing the legislative building in Olympia, Washington, where a large crowd of people has gathered. At the base of the eight columns are giant, colorful handmade letters spelling RESIST.

Five green leaves of a Himalayan blackberry vine. On one is a Pacific chorus frog, also green, covering only about one-eighth of one leaf.

Photographic still life with a molded Charlie Brown atop a wooden block, a baseball atop an antique bottle, a jade plant, and a transistor radio antenna. The baseball is branded Seattle Mariners.

A Micron pen, closed, rests on a Moleskine journal, green and also closed, on a blue-gray cushion. They are crossed by angular shadows from (unseen) blinds letting through much sun.

Set them down and was struck by the pattern

I like how my Senator characterizes people honestly and openly.

And how she keeps directing the conversation toward better alternatives than the current administrationโ€™s operating mode.

Shadow selfie at Hanwoori Garden, which opened in Federal Way, Washington, in June 2025. The space is impeccably designed, expertly crafted, and warmly inviting. It is the first traditional Korean garden in the state. Find it adjacent to Panther Lake.

A dragonfly clings to a sun-faded fence board. It has black bands on clear wings and a pale chalk-blue abdomen. The top quarter of the image reveals glossy green leaves behind the board, some tinged yellow.
