What if the government told your family ranch you owed $3.7 million… for a pond your cattle have been drinking from for decades?

That’s exactly what’s happening to a fourth-generation ranch family in Washington State.

Wade and Teresa King have been running cattle on their land for generations. Like thousands of ranchers across the West, they built small stock ponds so their cattle have water in dry country.

Now the Washington State Department of Ecology says those ponds aren’t ponds.

They say they’re illegal wetlands.

The state has already issued the ranch a $267,540 fine and claims the family may have to spend over $3.7 million restoring the land.

On top of that, the Washington Department of Natural Resources terminated grazing leases the ranch had held for around 60 years, removing nearly 15,000 acres of grazing land their operation depended on.

The King family says these are man-made cattle ponds, something ranchers across the West have built and maintained for generations.

The state says they damaged rare wetlands.

Now the fight isn’t just about ponds.

It’s about property rights, agriculture, and whether ranchers have the right to defend themselves in front of a jury instead of a government administrative court.

If the state wins, this case could affect thousands of ranches across the western United States that rely on stock ponds to water cattle.

This isn’t just one ranch’s fight.

It could shape the future of American ranching.

If you believe American ranchers deserve truth, trust, and transparency in the food system, help us rebuild a producer-led beef supply chain.

Because the fight for American land, American ranchers, and American food is just getting started.

Today was a depressing day to be a Washingtonian who cares about freedom, prosperity, and the Constitution.

[Sheriff Keith Swank @SaveOurSheriff]

Democrats are going to try to remove me from office not because of malfeasance, but for speech. Let that sink in.
I haven’t done ANYTHING wrong except speak out against them.

BREAKING: Every Washington resident with a driver’s license or ID may have been exposed in a massive data breach that the Department of Licensing knew about for six years, according to a local attorney.

HOLD ONTO YOUR BRITCHES. A day after @WAHouseDems denied me a press pass for engaging in advocacy, Democrats are pushing a bill that would award grants to local newsrooms so they can engage in ... advocacy.

I'll see you in court.

[Brandi Kruse @BrandiKruse]

After 15 years covering the Washington State Legislature, I was just denied a press pass. Why? Because I have taken the public position that girls should not be forced to compete against boys.

I am one of the longest-serving political reporters in the state. I have never acted unprofessionally at the statehouse. I ask serious, well-informed questions and provide coverage for many Washingtonians who feel unrepresented in mainstream news coverage.

To make matters worse, legacy media representatives with the Capitol Correspondents Association conspired with Democrats in the House to weaponize an outdated policy to keep me (and other new media professionals) out.

Let me be clear: Legacy news reporters took the side of politicians over the public. Rather than help expand political coverage for all by welcoming independent media into the fold, they pushed for LESS press freedom, not more. They played gatekeeper. Not only to help their struggling outlets survive by keeping out the competition, but to help the Democratic Party in power keep out critical voices.

Yes, independent media in Washington state is overwhelmingly conservative. There is a reason for that. There is a reason more reporters are leaving legacy newsrooms to do what I did in 2021. Too many local newsrooms cover stories from a progressive worldview. They increasingly shut out 40% of the state and parrot the views of the party in power.

Offering my informed opinion on policies should not preclude me, or others, from having access to the spaces we need to be in to do our jobs for the citizens who depend on us. To shut us out is to shut them out.

I have advocated for a simple policy to govern press passes in Olympia – one based on decorum. If reporters can abide by reasonable decorum rules, they should be allowed a press pass. Podcasters. Bloggers. Columnists. YouTubers. Everyone.

I invite my friends (and enemies) in legacy news to show a united front and stand up for press freedom, as I have done consistently for years – even when it meant criticizing my own side.

If the goal is to hold elected leaders accountable, expanding old rules to welcome in more voices and more perspectives is the answer.

If the goal is to shut out anyone who might challenge Democratic leaders, then I guess the policy should stay the same.

[Sheriff Keith Swank @SaveOurSheriff]

SB 6176 is a “bi-partisan” bill to punish people for expired car tabs.

The people voted for $30 tabs several times.

The State Supreme Court said the people were too stupid to know what they voted for.

I know you are not dumb. You are smart. I believe in civil disobedience. I support you.

If this bill passes, I will tell the men and women of the Pierce County Sheriff Office to not enforce it. The people spoke. It’s time for the legislature to listen.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

While you are being gas lit by the Political Industrial Complex, all over social media and the news telling you what you are supposed to be outraged about, think about this.

Republicans funded the Refugee Program by nearly $6 billion of your tax payer dollars in the DHS appropriations bill even though you have been losing your mind about paying for refugee funding while you discovered all the Somalia fraud.

And the DHS appropriations bill funds all of Homeland Security including ICE.

Now you have watched a shooting video probably over 30 times trying to figure out what happened, while a near civil war is being fueled in MN.

But look past the hype and focus in on the granular details.

The DHS bill funds both ICE and Refugee Programs.

The DHS bill funds doubling H2B visas and deportations at the same time.

Do you see how the Uniparty in Washington funds both sides and then gas lights you and drives you to hate each other?

It is all manufactured to drive your outrage and that is how they make money.

When the American People stop being baited into fighting each other, the American People will defeat the Political Industrial Complex that divides us all and can work to truly put Americans First.

I am going to frame this. It should be painted on buildings in every town, city & state in America.

[The Artist known as Jess @ElofsonJess]

We don't need to pressure the Republican party
We need to replace the entire team
We have to replace every wall kissers with an America first candidate
And I think we can do it
Good luck to you all
Long Live The Republic

I introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act because no one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country. Twenty-nine states already acknowledge this reality; let’s make it fifty.

@ScottPresler Thank you!

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

To avoid a repeat of last night’s shellacking in the 2026 midterms, Republicans should:

quit covering for pedophiles

put America before Israel

put farmers before corporations

quit funding wars abroad

reduce spending to control inflation

quit attacking independent voices

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This woman does benefits for a small business, she’s says American Healthcare costs are becoming unsustainable

- 11 employees on benefits, herself and her family all healthy
- UnitedHealthcare is increasing premiums 46.53% on their renewal
- Roughly $23,000 per employee
- $5,000 deductible before the plan pays anything

“It's so disturbing. So let's say that I had a health event where I broke my arm, I'd be paying the $23,000 in premium, and then I'd have to pay another $5,000, so $28,000 before I receive any assistance from this plan — Ridiculous.

UnitedHealthcare, you should be ashamed. This is embarrassing, and this is not accessible for American families, or small businesses — It's a problem”

Charlie on going on offense.

[Roseanne Barr @therealroseanne]

Ignore the demons. Especially online. They want you angry and traumatized.

Band together in love for Charlie.

[Brandon Herrera @TheAKGuy]

Charlie was a man who valued honest discussion, and open debate over violence.

He advocated for the peaceful battle of ideas, and talked about fearing what happens when people reject peaceful discourse.

And you fucking shot him.
