@guypbenson I usually love you to pieces! BUT as a 72 year old grandma? This to me is how politics have always been done. We give something to get something. Nothing dastardly here, just working across the aisle to get something done…

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?

Democrats just approved a 9.9 percent tax on income above $1 million. If you stay in Washington, you’ll pay a combined rate with the top income tax (37 percent) of over 46 percent. Washington will have the highest tax rate in the United States...https://t.co/td3khiXRys

🚨Disturbing whistleblower report claims Somali workers at major Minnesota food plants defecated and urinated inside production areas as products shipped nationwide.

Some of the major food processing plants in Minnesota include:
General Mills, Land O'Lakes, Schwan's, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Kemps dairy, and Pilgrim's Pride.

This should set off alarms nationwide. Every plant needs to be investigated.

@MAGAVoice Sometimes we step in the message a little. BUT when do we have the courage to call out stupidity? Ask a question that matters!! This is NOT being funded by tax dollars, it’s within budget. So it’s sometimes painful to hear someone being called stupid. But really? Don’t be stupid!
