MAGA gutted our health care and food programs. Now #WALeg has the chance to restore some of that funding by requiring wealthy corporations pay taxes on highest salaries, like their employees already do.

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.

Honestly did not see this coming. Interesting development, especially since it’s being introduced by leadership.
Yesterday, House Majority Leader Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon prefiled an amendment to the Washington State Constitution that, if passed during the upcoming legislative session, would allow mid-cycle redistricting of the state's congressional map when another state does so first.

Political instincts of a gnat, setting aside just how callously evil this is.
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

This is an embarrassing stated goal for a Dem governor and I cannot imagine the legislature will follow along with it, especially considering how the 2025 session unfolded.
Gov. Bob Ferguson warned Tuesday that the budget proposal he’ll release this month will rely solely on spending cuts and not higher taxes to overcome what he says is a multi-billion dollar shortfall. washingtonstatestandard.com/briefs/wa-go...
