WA state needs more effective ballot security. The poorly-managed databases and "broken chain of custody" problems with our mail-in voting system keep getting worse each cycle.
And they were already bad....
Illegal aliens should be removed from voter rolls.
Only American citizens should vote in
American elections.
This should be common sense, not controversial.
Washington officials say we can't afford to celebrate America's 250th birthday. It can afford taxpayer-funded lawyers for criminal illegal immigrants and expensive DEI conferences.
Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.
Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”
Think about what property tax actually means.
You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.
Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.
You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.
Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.
The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.
That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.
Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.
Now stack all three.
Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.
At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.
Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.
Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.
The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.
And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.
The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.
SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.
The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.
The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.
The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.
The future belongs to the people who build it.
For years, I raised alarms about dangerous gain-of-function research being farmed out to foreign countries, and I was told it was a conspiracy theory. Now, declassified documents show that the U.S. funded over 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries. Some of this research was conducted overseas precisely because scientists knew it would face scrutiny on American soil.
I'm calling for a presidential commission of scientists to review all gain-of-function research going forward. We're going lab by lab and pathogen by pathogen until the American people know the full truth.

World Cup tourists are showing Democrats just how amazing America is.
I'm sick and tired of AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the Democrat Party telling us how terrible our country is.
“The only people that are enforcing immigration in the state of Washington are the federal government, and in fact, the state is taking active steps to make our job harder, and in many cases to make it impossible,” says
First Assistant US Attorney Neil Floyd.
Did you catch that? Sanctuary state policies, supported by @agowa Nick Brown and @GovBobFerguson, are making it harder for the feds to keep Washingtonians safe from criminal illegals.

I've spent 66 years in Oregon. The first 20 years were the best. No one was overtly political. In the late 70's the CA transplant wagon came calling. Soon our teachers were unionized and our education system became indoctrination centers. I literally watched normalcy and morality disappear. Veterans parades turned into pride and naked bike rides. There is not a single public condition that has improved in the last 40 years. Oregon and all blue run states are exhibit A in what happens when extremist leftwing democrat policies get a foothold. Affordability is unattainable, our kids don't learn in school, our neighborhoods are unsafe, and retirement looks like survival school. Civic criminality is codified by activist democrat supermajorities. Our state and country will not survive with extremist democrats in power. Normal Oregonians and Americans must reject this destructive democrat doom loop or our country will not survive. The evidence is outside all of our front doors.
Elon Musk: “The reason I felt that it was important to acquire Twitter was because I could feel the walls closing in. It was outrageous that they suspended the account of a sitting president
And I think it was only a matter of time before they suspended my account.
Twitter and, well, pretty much all the social media companies, and Google and everyone, are controlled by far-left activists. That’s the truth of it.
How do you know what’s real when it’s all filtered through a far-left San Francisco Berkeley lens?
They just manipulate the truth constantly."
Elon has created thousands of millionaires. The only millionaire you’ve created is yourself. Elon is a wealth creator. You are a looter. While your title is POLITICIAN, your real profession should be called THIEF.
This is the kind of thing that haunts families, and it haunts me and my deputies. All because a prosecutor won't prosecute a crime.
A man cosplaying as a woman sexually assaults a young lady as part of a sport. It's on tape.
That's what happened. We recommended charges. The Pierce County prosecutor declined to charge and says the fact that it was a man doesn't have any bearing on the assault.
It's right there. On video. They don't want you to believe your own eyes. It's gaslighting. It's awful.
To everyone on here. Flood the internet with this story. They're not listening and it's time we got loud. More below 🧵⬇️
Can you afford a 30% utility rate increase?
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is proposing major utility hikes: 30% on electricity and 20% on natural gas over the next three years. The biggest driver? Compliance costs tied to our state's Climate Commitment Act (SB 5126 in 2021, enacted 2023) on the gas side, and the Clean Energy Transformation Act (SB 5116 in 2019) on the electric side according to The Center Square. Both expensive energy policies are from WA Democrats.
These sharp increases need approval from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, which is appointed by the Governor. Energy bills have already jumped 12% this year alone.
Many WA families and individuals cannot afford this. It’s time for policies that lower the cost of energy, instead of ones that constantly raise prices.

Democrats just made our point for us. "Republicans have argued the state should verify citizenship before someone is registered. This law takes the state in the opposite direction, telling citizens that once a name is on the rolls, prying it off requires near-criminal proof and carries real legal risk. The state is not strengthening confidence in its elections," writes @jasonrantz. "It is shielding the rolls from anyone who looks too closely."

Starting July 1, Washington’s gas tax goes up again, this time by about 1.1 cents per gallon. The bigger issue is that Democrats permanently tied the gas tax to inflation, meaning it will automatically increase year after year without another vote of the Legislature. At a time when families are already struggling with the cost of living, Democrats put gas taxes on autopilot.
