Seattle WA considering raising property taxes this year after a 17%! increase in 2017.

Money will go to provide free day care and free community college?? ( free unless you're a property owner ).

"We hold that portions of the @realDonaldTrump account -- the 'interactive space' where Twitter users may directly engage with the content of the President's tweets -- are properly analyzed under the "'public forum' doctrines set forth by the Supreme Court, that such space is a designated public forum, and that the blocking of the plaintiffs based on their political speech constitutes viewpoint discrimination that violates the First Amendment,"

Funny because now NO U.S. government twitter account or politician can block anyone. Even bots get a say.

Liberal judges are stupid.

"Multiple divisions of the U.S. government are confronting the reality that code written by the Moscow-based security company is embedded deep within American infrastructure, in routers...and other hardware—and nobody is certain how to get rid of it."

Is NK summit going to happen? If it does, will it be productive or a total sh*tshow? Now Pence has totally pissed them off by doubling down on Bolton’s Libya comments.

Twitter was never designed or intended to be a platform for official government communication. If people are going to use it as one, they need to allow everyone to have their say. The judges made the right call.

Bots are an ongoing issue, and a nonpartisan nuisance. More efficient to work out algorithms to deal with them on a platform wide level, rather than at the user level. Will they? Who knows, but again, nobody’s being forced to use Twitter as a primary government communications channel.

Should have held off on making those fancy schmancy coins,,.

PS - Unverified reports that he didn't give SK a "heads up" before he sent that. If so, ouch!!!

I disagree in part because people are over the top abusive on twitter. Blocking doesn't prevent you from reading tweets, only posting in someone else's timeline.

No different than being thrown out of a public meeting for not following the rules. You can still express yourself outside on the sidewalk.

Hurry up and get some! They dropped the price and you won’t get them for 2 months. Looks like they didn’t make them yet, but they plan to if people will buy them.

There is no way North Korea is giving up their nukes. The past Presidents (Clinton, Bush, Obama) were invited as well and didn't take the bait to help legitimize the regime and treat them as an equal. Kim is just playing Trump here. Using his ego against him, "I did what the other Presidents couldn't do" type of deal.

Trump got punked by Kim. As expected.

Ah the idiocy of some on the right. If you have a job, it helps you assimilate, settle down in your new country, start a new life. As if those trucks don't have gps, as if those drivers weren't thoroughly vetted etc.
