Eighty‑two years ago, the world witnessed extraordinary bravery on the beaches of Normandy. Today we remember the 160,000 Allied troops who fought to liberate Europe — and the values they defended. We are free because they were brave. 🇺🇸
Today is 37 years since the Tiananmen Massacre
On this day in 1989, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens.
Peaceful pro-democracy students and workers who gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding freedom, anti-corruption, and basic human rights were crushed under tanks and gunfire.
The protests began in mid-April 1989, triggered by the death of reformist leader Hu Yaobang. On May 13, students began a hunger strike. Martial law was declared on May 20, but protesters remained peaceful.
In the early hours of June 4, troops advanced with tanks and live ammunition. Soldiers fired on unarmed civilians blocking their path in the streets surrounding the square.
Hundreds to thousands were killed. Thousands more were imprisoned, tortured, or disappeared.
To this day, the Chinese government censors all mention of it, erases it from history books, and threatens anyone who remembers.
In honor and remembrance.
This Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country - and the families who carry their memory forward.
My latest op‑ed in @thecentersquare is out today. I break down how recent state legislation is creating real, unintended challenges for law enforcement agencies across Washington - and why fixing these issues is essential for public safety. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it. @TCSWashington

The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding people stop posting this reminder of the lovely innocent Iryna Zarutska butchered by a savage on Charlotte public transit. He was on probation by a liberal activist judge.
Most downtown Seattle businesses are GONE because of leftist rule.
Starbucks
Old Navy
The Loft
And many more GONE.
They left because of crime and homelessness & now most of downtown Seattle is VACANT.
How SAD.
Washington has surpassed Hawaii for the 2nd highest gas prices in the nation.
Washington's roads are not being maintained. The ferry system is failing. Once again, taxpayers are paying more than their fair share but state government is wasting the money. #waleg
Ken Griffin at Milken:
“What the mayor of New York has made clear to my partners, and principally my New York partners, is that we need to double down on our bet in Miami"
The Hamas supporters outside of Park East Synagogue are getting out of control.
This is the SRG unit of the NYPD that Zohran Mamdani wants to disband.
Never again is NOW.
This month, we celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month and recognize the countless ways Jewish Americans have strengthened our country - in science, the arts, public service, business, and community leadership.
At a time when antisemitism is rising across the world, it’s more important than ever to lift up Jewish voices, celebrate Jewish culture, and stand firmly against hate in all its forms.
To our Jewish neighbors: we see you, we value you, and we’re grateful you’re part of our community.

Is Washington moving toward a state income tax? A new report suggests the proposed millionaires’ tax could open the door, but Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen says that’s not true.
"61% of riders actually pay when they get onboard light rail today...that's pretty pathetic.
When your agency is bleeding money, and facing a $34 Billion dollar budget hole; maybe having paying customers would help"
KIRO's Chris Sullivan doesn't hesitate one bit to call out Sound Transit's "pathetic" fare collection attempts.

HAPPENING NOW: Flags of Hezbollah and Hamas flying on @UW campus, as speaker calls for financial support for American enemies: "Please... show up... to fundraise and support those who are fighting against the US Zionist attacks"
Right now, US troops are in combat zones, and these guys are raising money for the enemy on campus??
UW WAC (conduct codes) prohibit amplification of sound during class hours. So when UW cries they couldn't do anything about this, it's not true. They could have easily shut this down based on that rule alone.
