What Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson said, and left unsaid, in his State of the State address
The speech drew a more positive reaction from fellow Democrats than last year’s inaugural address. He touched on flood recovery, taxes and immigration enforcement.

We’ve been lucky to have visitors stop by this past week, including ex-orphan Makena and her daughter Merri, Nasalot and her two sons Noah and Nusu, and Sities and her firstborn, Sunni. Their families are testament to the difference we can make when we rescue an orphan, and return the to the wild!

The American childhood vaccine schedule is similar to many of its European counterparts.
Suggesting otherwise is a lie.
And we aren’t Denmark. They have universal healthcare, low economic inequality, and low childhood poverty.
The President should focus on addressing those differences first.
