You cannot have a flat state income tax because it makes the poor pay from their grocery money while the rich pay from their second yacht money.
And you cannot have a graduated income tax because the Washington State Constitution forbids it. Try changing the state Constitution.

Seattle residents need to make over $135,00 a year to live a comfortable lifestyle, making our city the 6th most expensive in the nation. We need to bring down everyday costs, including rent, groceries, and energy to combat an unaffordable community.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Median US households (income $80K) are in poverty if the same calculations as in 1963 are used to rebase the poverty line threshold.
Median US households (income $80K) are in poverty if the same calculations as in 1963 are used to rebase the poverty line threshold.
Why the USA is stressed: in 1963, poverty was defined as family income < 3x food budget. But costs have exploded since 1963, and food is now 5-7% of a budget including health, college, childcare, housing, etc—a realistic food budget multiplier for poverty is 16x, so families under $130K are poor.

FUN FACT: A total of 25 Republicans in the House are already planning to retire or resign, compared to only 16 Democrats (not including Mikie Sherrill, recently elected governor of NJ). The number of GOP resignations are expected to increase further over the coming months.

They know that, if elected, they will officially be supporting a fascist dictatorship. They don't want that on their conscience but are too cowardly to fight it in Congress.

I think he misread, and it said “beef tallow smoothies”…which, well, I have questions. But I’m not sure I want the answers. I’ll just sit here and [[[[shudder]]]] instead.
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."
