Hey WA,
I need your help.
I am asking @GovBobFerguson to call a special session to suspend the CCA to immedietly lower gas prices and utilities.
If you want Bob to suspend the CCA to help working families and lower gasoline and electricity costs then share this post and like it.
Others in the legislator are starting to call for it.
Let's see if Bob actually cares about working class people in Washington.

The two disparate views of Seattle pictured below might as well be of every Democrat city in America. It’s probably safe to say that everything wrong with America emanates from the moment Democrats are in power. Their sweeping corruption is the cause of a catastrophic national deficit. Their hatred of capitalism and the nuclear family is the cause of rampant crime. Their communist hatred of single family neighborhoods is the cause of desolate, dystopian shells of once prosperous urban centers. Their open border policies to gain illegal votes have rotted our once civilized culture to tatters.
The glory that was America is flickering into eternal darkness. The Democrat way of life is an open wound in the gut of this once proud nation - it is a cancer and it is a curse.
We are standing on the edge of an abyss, and the winds are howling from the darkness below.
The media and democratic party of WA want you to skip the primary election in August... I would argue it is the most important primary in the history of our state.
Two weeks ago the Chief Justice of the Washington Supreme Court signed the order telling you that you cannot vote on the income tax through a referendum.
Her name is Debra Stephens. She was appointed to the court in 2007 by Governor Christine Gregoire. She was re-elected in 2014 with the endorsement of the Washington Education Association, the union that named passing the income tax as its top legislative priority for 2026. She ran without meaningful opposition in 2020.
In 2023 she was part of the 7-2 majority that upheld the capital gains tax by recharacterizing it as an excise tax rather than an income tax. Tax Foundation analysts said that ruling appeared to signal the court's willingness to reconsider the 1933 constitutional ban on income taxes in Washington.
Two weeks ago she signed the order that closed the referendum path.
She is seeking her fourth full term through 2033. The income tax constitutional challenge is working through the courts right now and will eventually reach whoever holds this seat.
Her four challengers all show $0 in contributions in the current PDC cycle (Public Disclosure Cycle).
Scott Edwards is a tax attorney and former UW tax law professor who litigated against the capital gains ruling she was part of and against Seattle's income tax. His entire legal career has been built on challenging Washington's attempts to expand tax authority.
Todd Bloom is an attorney and Washington State Bar Association Board of Governors member who ran in the 2024 court primary.
Karim Merchant is a criminal defense attorney who states he is committed to fighting government overreach.
David Shelvey is a Sumner attorney who also ran in 2024.Five people on this ballot. Top two advance August 4. General November 3.
The ballot says nonpartisan. The documented record says something more specific.

Let's talk about Washington's two U.S. Senators...
Patty Murray has served 33 years. Senator Maria Cantwell has served 25 years. Combined: 58 years. Per official congressional records and standard Senate salary of $174,000 per year, Washington taxpayers have funded $5,742,000 for Murray and $4,350,000 for Cantwell. Over $10 million in salary between them.
What are we getting for that investment?
Dead last among all 50 states in per capita affordable housing supply per HUD data.
Third largest homeless population in the nation.
Fourth largest increase in homelessness between 2023 and 2024.
Fifth most unaffordable state for housing.
One-third of all Washington households paying more than 30% of income on housing.
Seattle housing costs 50% above the national average.
Washington has the highest gas prices in the country, 45% above the national average.
Tax competitiveness: 45th nationally per the Tax Foundation's 2026 Index, down from 33rd in 2020. Corporate tax ranking: 47th. Sales tax ranking: 49th.
Both held significant committee power. Murray served as Senate President Pro Tempore. In 2024, Cantwell cosponsored the third fewest bills among all Senate Democrats per GovTrack's annual report card.
On contested votes, Senate Democrats voted together 94.5% of the time in 2024, the highest party unity rate ever recorded per Roll Call. Neither Murray nor Cantwell is documented as an exception.
Cantwell won reelection in 2024 spending $12.9 million against a challenger who raised $742,000.
Murray won reelection in 2022 by 10 points in what was Washington's most competitive Senate race in years.
Washington has not elected a Republican to the Senate since 2000 per Ballotpedia.
Fifty-eight years is long enough to measure outcomes. These are the outcomes.
How do they make you feel? Good investment?

Governor Bob Ferguson (D-WA) won by 433,550 votes in 2024.
Washington processed 473,192 new valid registrations between 2022-2024
These 473,192 applications did not require proof of citizenship.
@BobFergusonGov
@RandPaul@R_H_Ebright So the spineless, gutless, back-stabbing Republican has words. At this point, you are all guilty of genocide because you clearly support it.
@SenatorCantwell SPOILER ALERT: Whenever they say “safe and effective” remember they are saying “safe” = no prosecution for the supplier if this harms or kills YOU, and “effective” means you’ll probably suffer a side effect and become a pharma customer for life, or you’ll die.
⚡️America has converted essentials into extraction rails.
Food, housing, healthcare, insurance, transportation, childcare, and debt service are no longer background costs. They are the core toll system of daily life. The household does the work, receives the paycheck, and then watches the paycheck pass through a chain of mandatory gates before any real freedom begins.
That is the deeper break.
A society can tolerate inequality when the basics remain reachable. It can tolerate rich people, asset booms, luxury spending, and status gaps as long as ordinary life still clears. Once essentials become unstable, the psychological contract snaps. People stop feeling poor relative to billionaires and start feeling hunted by life itself.
That is why the affordability data matters more than normal sentiment data. Difficulty affording essentials means the pressure has moved from discretionary life into survival infrastructure. People can skip vacations. They can delay upgrades. They can trade down brands. They cannot opt out of rent, food, medicine, transport, or insurance without their life structure degrading.
The machine still reports strength because aggregate spending continues. But the spending is increasingly financed by exhaustion. Credit cards. BNPL. Longer auto loans. Smaller homes. More roommates. Delayed medical care. Fewer children. Less saving. More dependence on family. More people locked into jobs they hate because one missed paycheck can detonate the household.
That is the invisible recession. No clean crash. No single event. A slow confiscation of margin.
The wealth chart underneath the reply points to the same regime. Asset owners absorbed the inflationary era as nominal wealth expansion. Wage earners absorbed it as cost-of-life expansion. The same monetary system lifted portfolios while raising the price of breathing room. That is why the top can feel fine while the middle feels betrayed.
The most important word here is essentials.
When luxuries inflate, people grumble.
When essentials inflate, legitimacy decays.
Deep down, America’s problem is no longer simple inflation. It is tribute economics. Every basic function of life has a gatekeeper. Shelter has landlords, zoning, rates, insurance, taxes. Health has insurers, hospitals, PBMs, administrators, deductibles. Mobility has auto debt, repairs, gas, insurance. Food has supply chains, grocers, shrinkflation, margin pressure. Education has credential debt. Even risk itself has become a subscription through insurance.
The household is surrounded.
That produces a darker political phase because people eventually stop believing better messaging can fix a broken ledger. They do not need an economist to tell them the economy is strong when their own life no longer balances. The household balance sheet becomes the truth source.
The real signal is brutal:
The American economy still creates enormous wealth.
The conversion rate from wealth creation to ordinary human security is collapsing.
Dear Democrats,
I'm done.
Done with your pronouns and your made-up genders.
Done with your war on basic biology.
Done with the whining and the endless victim screams.
Done with the threats, the doxxing, the pure hatred in your eyes.
Done with the violence, the riots, the "mostly peaceful" destruction.
Done with the blue-haired freaks and their tattooed tantrums.
Done with your clueless history, you know nothing but call us Nazis.
Done with your smug superiority while you can't even define what a woman is.
Done with the fragile snowflake meltdowns at American flags.
Done with your cultish cancel mob mentality.
Done with the godless emptiness that mocks faith and family.
Done with your narcissistic victimhood, nothing is ever your fault.
Done with the hypocritical elitism, rules for thee, not for me.
Done with the laziness you call activism and the trophies you get for losing.
Done with the entitlement, demanding everything while earning nothing.
Done with your anti-family poison pushing kids toward mutilation.
Done with your seething envy of strength, success, and self-reliance.
Done with your bitter blindness to truth staring you in the face.
Done with your rejection of merit, hard work, and personal responsibility.
I'm a pissed-off patriot who's watched you rot this nation.
You hate everything that built America.
You're not progressive.
You're broken, toxic, and lost.
No more tolerance for your circus of confusion and chaos.
We're done carrying your dead weight.
We're taking our country back.
America First.
No apologies.
Eat shit and deal with it.
MAGA Forever.
In freedom,
Mr. Star-Spangled MAGA
Forensic audit of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority in Seattle Washington found significant financial and operational failures
The homeless authority can’t account for $13 million dollars and missing invoices
$44.7 million in negative cash balances was also found, as well as $6 million in unapproved spending
It’s waste, fraud, abuse and most of all, money laundering
When will Democrats be held accountable
