Angela Poe Russell: Politicians' public safety promises falling flat in Seattle

Call me naïve, but I still believe the government should work for everyone, whether you're rich or poor, young or old. Your color or your class shouldn’t mean different treatment by government agencies. So when I saw that Metro Transit had to suspend a route due to safety concerns, it made me angry and sad. The suspended stop is located at 12th Avenue S. and Jackson Street in Seattle's Chinatown-International District. While it’s not known as the wealthy neighborhood, there are a lot of hard working people there, small businesses and senior citizens. The fact that the city couldn’t protect their ability to safely catch a bus at their preferred stop is embarrassing and unacceptable.

'Dont' cut a cent:' Dave Ross on why the national debt never gets under control

Donald Trump's new treasury secretary is considered a fiscal hawk who will cut whatever it takes to get the national debt under control -- a debt that now exceeds $36 trillion. But it's a promise we've heard before. EVERY president says it has to be done. And yet, it never is. Which is why every four years or so, I dig this song out of the archives to remind us why it never gets done

Ross: Voters weren’t just voting for change, they were voting for a hormone

The internet continues to analyze the election, but look at this – a CBS News poll shows close to 60% of Americans, including some Democrats, approve of how Trump is handling the transition. And the more I read the post-election analysis, the more I’m convinced voters weren’t just voting for a change – they were voting for a hormone.

Markovich: Opinion vs. facts and the ever-blurring line within journalism

Accountability is expensive -- now more than ever -- especially in this new media age where opinion is far cheaper to produce and digging up the facts. This past election showed the line between traditional journalism and opinion is becoming increasingly blurred. New data from the Pew Research Center -- and they do a lot of studies on how people consume news and opinion -- found a growing preference for digital platforms and opinion-driven content over traditional media like newspapers and network TV.

Angela Poe Russell: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 'good idea' is actually pretty disturbing

Don’t get me wrong, I love a great headline, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s challenge/threat to Republicans is significant political theater. Sadly, it's also pretty disturbing. To catch you up, Greene posted on the social platform X the following message to her Republican colleagues in the House and Senate: "If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see."

The titles don't even hint at the surprising (sometimes jarring) facets of human nature and behavior that end up being revealed and discussed, largely due to Dave's unabashed questioning. He has a way of exploring a topic that often makes me (and sometimes even his guest) pause and think from a different perspective. He doesn't hesitate to interject his own opinion, which may not be aligned with his guest's, challenging speakers to defend their stance. Significantly, he usually appears willing to consider—maybe even accept—a rational contrary argument, something that few journalists do these days.

I used to listen to Dave Ross but I increasingly find him annoying with an incessant liberal ax to grind.
