In Washington state: -hundreds evacuated -330,000 acres burned in 24 hrs, more than double what burned all of last year -a town was nearly destroyed -hurricane-force winds delayed response #WAWildfires coverage by Joseph O'Sullivan Elise Takahama Lynda V. Mapes: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/e…

The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.

Your reminder that Amy Coney Barrett was nominated by an impeached president who lost the popular vote by 3 million, and will be confirmed by GOP senators representing 11 million fewer Americans than their Democratic colleagues — after Obama's pick couldn't even get a vote.

Perhaps something is wrong with a country that makes it easier to vote from space than your own neighborhood.

We must govern with integrity and accountability. Laquan McDonald’s life mattered.

I WON NBA MVP!

The concession speech we all deserve.
