@RepNancyMace How about for anyone who rapes?

@LibertarianConv @EndWokeness Good point.

If you receive government assistance you shouldn’t be allowed to vote until you are self sufficient. You don’t get to tell me how to run my house if you don’t pay the bills.

@LibertarianConv @EndWokeness Doesn't subsonic 5.7 nullify the ballistic advantages of the 5.7?

[Jon Flaherty @JonFlaherty5]

@Fish_Flakes546 @rawsalerts Yes. I'm paying.

I’m posting this throughout the next election.

People still don’t believe me when I tell them about the Democrats and what they are doing here in Washington.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

@hicasamadim *50 not 10

[Jon Flaherty @JonFlaherty5]

@hicasamadim The number multiplied by the sum of its mirrored self equals the base number. 2x(2+2)=8, 5×(5+5)=10, 6x(6+6)=72

@PNWConservative That surgery should be illegal.

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.

@NYFilmFan @CAFamily Jesus is the fulfillment of the old testament which is full of references to this.

@FocusTripp2 @grok what is this post about?

[Vijay @VijayInWA]

"Washington state raising taxes on millionaires, to 9.9%; first state income tax. There's nothing voters can do about it, either.

The state supreme court ruling that the new tax cannot be challenged by a voter referendum."

...

There IS something voters can do about it. In the coming election an unprecedented 5 of the 9 Supreme Court seats will become vacant.

Supreme Court seats are often ignored by most voters, but if voters come out in force and elect new justices committed to upholding the state's constitution, our state can still be saved.

Washington just became the first state in U.S. history to terminate a public employee pension plan.

The plan belongs to retired police officers and firefighters. LEOFF Plan 1 was 160% funded as of June 2024 per the state's own actuarial valuation. It had not required a single contribution in 25 years. By 2029 it was projected to reach 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus.

The legislature terminated the plan, swept $3.9 billion, and is using $880 million of it to refill a rainy day fund it already drained to cover a deficit it created.

Days ago, retired first responders including former Congressman Dave Reichert sued the state to stop it. The bill passed the House 55-39 and was advanced out of Appropriations without a public hearing. Every yes vote was a Democrat. The governor signed it in April.

I sacrificed my body and a good chunk of my life for our state, they committed to providing a benefit for me and raided it.

I want a truck with no GPS or tracking.

I want a house that doesn't spy on me.

I want a government that builds roads and maintains the military and stays out of my business.

I want the constitution of the United States respected and upheld.

I want the government to be the last thing I ever think about, just like the founders intended.
