@RepSaraJacobs A politician and member of the private jet & yacht club criticizing a rich entrepreneur that paid $11 billion in tax for not paying enough tax. Thats rich.
Few things in Washington are more predictable than Congress renewing surveillance powers and promising to reform them later.
I spoke on the House floor against the “temporary” clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program.
Bob:
November 2028 is 29 months away.
In the meantime, I challenge you to a series of monthly debates, each focused on a single public policy topic relevant to Washington state.
One hour. Once a month, through November 2028. No notes. No staff. A different Washington-based journalist can moderate each debate. The journalist picks the single topic. No advanced notice to either of us.
Not just a one-and-run event. A steady, regular debate series about fixing what's broken in our state.
Let's give the people of Washington the chance to hear how two very different people approach issues that affect their lives.
Do you have the guts to accept?
No, the danger to our republic is that there is no aisle to reach across. The fundamental divide between the left and right is a huge chasm.
The real issue, the left thinks the solution is more money, government led economic, medical, industrial system and intervention across the board. On the right there are three factions. One faction believes the solution is with a single leader through MAGA. One faction adores the institutions, big government, big corporations, and wants civility in language while flexing military power throughout the world. The last faction believes in a set of principles that hasn't changed in 50 years. You can read about these principles in every GOP party platform in every county across America.
Republicans are not the same as conservatives and do not carry the philosophy of limited constitutional government, free markets, and the rule of law. Its really that simple.
@ah_01s@RandPaul@SecScottBessent Different branches, different roles. What is legislation without the enforcers? Empty words. The administration is the enforcement. Rand Paul doesn't have the power to send police knocking. This is civics 101.
One of my main issues with my party (Republicans) is that they are becoming less concerned about fiscal policy. Like spending, deficits, entitlement expansion, and debt. They basically ignored the DOGE findings of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Much like Democrats in Washington State. Even liberals opposed (11 times?) an income tax, yet they continue to elect people that support an income tax.
1+1=2
Republicans adore conservatives that campaign on fiscal responsibility, but vote in big spenders.
