@StJamesStJames @BernieSanders The hypocrisy of @BernieSanders talking about affordability when it is the government that increases our cost of living. Interest Rates are directly affected by the federal deficit and the regulatory requirements raise our costs.

@choeshow Jonathan, the theme of each match was made prior to knowing which teams were playing. Are you talking about within the stadium? FIFA has no voice on outside-the-stadium activities; they only control within the stadium.

@choeshow I guess the King County Democrats made him a pie crust promise to always support him?

@mercoglianos When I sailed those waters in the Navy early 90's till 2011, we used to regularly cruise through the Iranian disputed region, especially when their Navy (when they had one before we sunk them) would do exercises.

Bob Ferguson and @washdems are worried that their scamming of Washington taxpayers will end soon, they don’t want anyone to see that our money is going to left-wing organizations that do nothing for Washingtonians.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

The attacks on reproductive freedom have not stopped since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade 4 years ago. Just last month, a lower court attempted to curtail access to abortion care by telehealth — an unscientific and unlawful decision. That case remains a threat, only temporarily put on hold by the Supreme Court.

In the face of attacks like those, we've increased access for providers to Washington's stockpiles of mifepristone and misoprostol. We’ve backfilled Medicaid funds that the Trump Administration cut off to Planned Parenthood. And my budget protected reproductive health care access.

I want all Washingtonians to know that your state leaders will stand up for you and protect reproductive health care.

@WAPolicyGreen Our tax money is used for lobbying all over Olympia and Washington DC, so where do we draw that line?

@GoodAMLiberty @DOGE USAID still exists, they are now under Secretary of State

[Todd Welch @JToddWelch]

@GoodAMLiberty @RoKhanna Ro is trying to become relevant; no one knows who he is. I have no idea if Californians know who their Senators even are.

@DanHollaway @jackburton1983 @mattgaetz @hodgetwins @ComicDaveSmith Dave Smith just parrots the same comments, but nothing in depth and has a childish view of foreign affairs

[Todd Welch @JToddWelch]

@DanHollaway Iran and that entire region do not believe in “deals” and negotiations, they are signs of weakness. The only mentality that Iran, Iraq, etc .. believe in are power and authority. You cannot negotiate, you must destroy and do so with no remorse.

[Todd Welch @JToddWelch]

@DanHollaway Where are their tin foil hats?

[Todd Welch @JToddWelch]

This is an empty argument, no matter how much money we surrender to the government, it will never be enough. Government will continue to consume with no regard for the consequences or your standard of living. @RoKhanna and other elected officials, your money is not your money, it is his. I understand that telling people that the government will take care of you sounds secure, but it is unrealistic. Instead, your money will be wasted, and your will not have the security you hoped for.

250 billionaires own half of California GDP.

Taxing them at 2% would save healthcare for millions. Healthcare workers have already compromised from 5%.

85% of VC money came to California in Q1 2026. The capital flight argument is nonsense.

The only reason to oppose this is if you want to protect the donor class.

It's about protecting money in politics.

I want a Democratic party that will stand for the working class.

This is a moral test for our party.

Whose side are you on?

@mercoglianos @tradegurumf Is anyone worried about the quality of steel and the construction of ships being rushed out of China? These numbers have to be hitting South Korea hard. US production would be expensive but made well.

@WAPolicyGreen Some guy who cannot see any importance in his life but to make everything about himself. He lives in the greatest nation on earth at the greatest time in history, not due to POTUS but just an amazing place to live.

@CliffMass We hear so much about the water used by Data centers, can Washington actually produce appropriate water to feed these facilities?

[Todd Welch @JToddWelch]

@stevemgordon67 I cannot stand the “War of Choice” comments when none of them actually discuss the nuclear ambitions and intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities. The Iranian support of terrorism.
