Final thoughts and promotions

Friday, December 5th, 2025

Today, a federal grand jury in the EDVA has refused to re-indict NYAG Letitia James; members of Congress viewed the entire video of the September 2nd boat strike and many are calling for Hegseth’s resignation; admiral Halsey didn’t resign - Hegseth pushed him out after he took issue with the operations in the Caribbean; the inspector general report on Signalgate has been released and it’s as bad as we thought; a suspect has been arrested in the January 6th pipe bomb case; the Supreme Court is allowing Texas to keep its new gerrymandered map for the 2026 midterms; there was a hearing today to disqualify Sarcone as the US Attorney in the Northern District of New York; still no re-indictment against Letitia James and i’m wondering if the grand jury returned a no bill; and Allison and Dana deliver and your Good News.

My union siblings with AFSCME council 28/WFSE have launched a petition as the first step in a series of planned escalating actions to pressure our Legislators and Bob (Ferguson) to not cut public services and to tax the rich instead. Please share the link below and ask everyone you know who lives in Washington to sign the petition. This petition can be signed by union members and non members alike.
Thank You! No Cuts — Tax the Rich!
