teapaw.org/seattleu/status/191990… Great discussion at Seattle U this week with Washington Attorney General Nick Brown @AGOWA who is in legal combat with the Trump administration. @SeattleU_Pres Eduardo Peñalver and @jbalter teased out info about impacts on our state - and a few laughs.
Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown has filed 15 lawsuits against the federal government since President Trump began his second term. Today, he joined us for a conversation about his message to Washington, D.C., and the implications for WA. Thanks for your visit, @AGOWA.

Thank you @seattlechannel for hosting an engaging discussion with @amcauce and me on political polarization and its impacts on universities this afternoon. It’s always great to collaborate on thought-provoking subjects with our neighbor to the north.

Hamas terrorists raped Israeli women and girls. The only ‘balanced’ approach is to condemn sexual violence loudly, forcefully and without exceptions. Outrageous for anyone to “both sides” sexual violence.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal on CNN on condemning Hamas's sexual violence: "I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians." Dana Bash replies, "You don't see Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian women."

If you’re having a bad day just remember that the Salzburg airport has a counter for people who flew to Austria instead of Australia
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While people often confuse Australia and Austria existence of a help desk in the Salzburg Airport appears to be a joke/hoax from 9gag, made popular by a recent Tiktok. twitter.com/MagnusHambleto… thelocal.com/20231016/do-au…

Thank you, Alisse. The parallels to a certain ex-president are just chilling.

Interviewing Michael Cohen ⁦@MichaelCohen212 Donald Trump’s former personal attorney at ⁦@Crosscut⁩ Festival. He says he intends to be one thing blocking a Trump second term. In green room earlier, we called his mom to find out why he went to sleep-away camp at age 5.
