Election Integrity training session in Vancouver Wednesday evening. First of many in WA this year.
For this one, we were joined by RNC Co-Chair KC Crosbie, several members of the DC-based RNC Election Integrity staff, State Sen. John Braun, State Rep. Stephanie McClintock, Clark County Auditor candidate Eileen Quiring O'Brien and others.
Trained observers will be engaged and watching this year, in the August primary and November general election.

Gavin, Trump signed a bill giving his “private police” $70 billion to “terrorize immigrants” based on skin color and accent?

Bro, it’s $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol, actual federal law enforcement agencies doing the job Congress just funded through 2029. Not some spray tanned dictator’s secret Gestapo. These are the same cops Obama used to deport millions while you stayed quiet. This isn’t “targeting accents,” it’s deporting people who broke the law and shouldn’t be here. Newsflash: enforcing borders isn’t racism, it’s called sovereignty, sweetheart.

The real horror was your sanctuary circus letting cartels, criminals, and chaos flood in while California’s a $70B deficit dumpster fire of homelessness, fleeing businesses, and record crime. This is so disingenuous it hurts. Another bald-faced lie proving exactly why you don’t belong in office, and why nobody trusts a word out of your flip flopping mouth. Next level Reeree.

Stay mad, Governor. The adults are finally securing the country.

Another billionaire panic tweet from the rep whose district is running the world's most expensive "tax the rich and watch it evaporate" experiment.

Billionaires didn't loot $15 trillion, they engineered tech revolutions, AI breakthroughs, and global value creation that lifted economies. Wealth isn't your fixed socialist pie for unions to divvy up; it's explosive growth your policies treat like a crime scene until the creators pack up and leave.

Your Seattle laboratory: Washington's 2025 tax avalanche, the biggest hike in state history, cranked B&O surcharges on big firms, jacked capital gains to 9.9% over $1M, and teed up the incoming "millionaires tax." Predictable result? Nearly 1 in 4 WA businesses now eyeing the exits. Downtown Seattle office vacancy at 33-35%, national worst. Starbucks shipping 2,000 jobs to low tax Tennessee. Amazon dropping thousands more layoffs in WA. Howard Schultz bolting to Florida sunshine.

Your union favorites? Sitting idle because the companies that paid their dues fled or shrank. No growth. Talent draining to Idaho, Texas, Florida. Tent cities, crime spikes, hollowed out streets. Seattle didn't wither from billionaire greed, it was policy assisted suicide by progressive compassion. Those "decisions" you celebrate are precisely why your once thriving district is a cautionary tale.

Pro tip: Punishing success doesn't create prosperity, it creates vacancies. Maybe try rewarding the golden goose instead of slow roasting it for votes. Your district, your masterpiece of failure.

Senator Murray, your tweet is pure fearmongering and hypocrisy. AI isn't "denying doctor recommended procedures", WISeR uses AI plus mandatory human clinical review to flag fraud, waste, and low value care before taxpayers foot the bill. It follows existing Medicare coverage rules with appeals, audits, and penalties for bad denials. No changes to what’s covered.

WISeR is NOT "Trump's backdoor scheme to privatize Medicare." It's a CMS Innovation Center pilot in Original (Traditional) Medicare, not Medicare Advantage. Launched in six states (including yours) to target exploding waste like skin substitutes (up from $400M to $10B annually amid OIG-documented fraud schemes) and other high risk services that can harm patients with unnecessary risks.

Medicare FFS improper payments alone hit $28.83 billion last year. Seniors deserve protection from that, not more delays from unchecked billing.

You're the hypocrite here. Democrats expanded and defend Medicare Advantage, where private plans have used prior authorization (and AI) for years, often more aggressively, while you now scream about it in Traditional Medicare. You've co-sponsored MA "transparency" bills but fight tools that cut waste in the program you claim to protect. After 40 years in office, opposing accountability while Medicare bleeds billions makes you irrelevant to fixing real problems.

WISeR means faster approvals for legit care, lower costs, and less fraud burden on honest doctors. End the scams. Support WISeR. Seniors win when government stops wasting their money.

Congresswoman Jayapal, your job is to represent the people of Washington State’s 7th District, not Palestinians, and you are not part of the State Department, so stop undermining the U.S. government and the State Department. Stay in your lane and focus on your actual constituents instead of playing foreign activist for Hamas.

Trump’s Board of Peace is a U.S.-led reconstruction plan under a UN-endorsed ceasefire that explicitly requires Hamas to disarm first. It has never been a blank check, the funding, conditions, and security benchmarks are all public and tied to verifiable demilitarization so taxpayer dollars don’t flow to terrorists.

“Zero transparency”? Ridiculous. The Board’s pledges, goals, and requirements have been openly announced and discussed from the beginning. Your amendment is pure grandstanding designed to handcuff America while Israel defends itself.

“Palestinians continue to be killed”? Because Hamas keeps breaking the ceasefire, firing rockets, attacking IDF troops, smuggling weapons in ambulances, and using civilians as human shields in hospitals, schools, and homes. Israel is protecting itself from a genocidal terror group whose charter calls for Jewish extermination and that refuses to surrender or disarm. The civilian deaths are Hamas’s fault, not U.S. oversight or Israeli self-defense.

Gaza’s nightmare ends the day Hamas stops violating every truce and lays down its weapons not when you demand more U.S. bureaucracy or endless sympathy for the side that started this war. Do your actual job for Washington State taxpayers and quit the performative propaganda tours. Americans are tired of it.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats

She wouldn't even refute getting RUSSIAN money! 🤯

ActBlue is a FRAUD group. Shut it down!

REP. JIM JORDAN: Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin. How much fraud is too much fraud?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: How many foreign contributions did ActBlue accept?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: Why did your entire legal team quit? Your in-house legal team?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: We won't keep you here all day, but let me just do one more. Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

Absolutely insane.

You're so deaf!
Trump says “I love the inflation” right before explaining it’s a temporary war spike from kicking Iran’s ass, and once we’re done, that oil floods the market and prices crash like a bad standup set. But you and Acyn chopped it up like amateur hour editors, pretending he’s cackling while grandma skips groceries.

This is peak Democrat disingenuous: clip the soundbite, ignore the sentence, scream “he loves hurting you!” Next level Reeree energy. You’ve been doing this since Biden’s 9% inflation miracle and your beloved “Inflation Reduction Act” that reduced nothing but our savings.

You’re not fighting for working families, you’re just auditioning for the next outrage reel. Sit down, Congresswoman. The adults are negotiating peace deals that’ll actually drop costs instead of virtue signaling edited clips.

Trump’s playing 4D chess while you’re stuck on checkers with training wheels. Pathetic.

[mashedmedal @mashedmedal]

@PramilaJayapal Your 17-year legal path to citizenship is exactly what Americans support, not the chaos of illegal entries your Nation essay romanticizes. The current administration didn't "eliminate key legal pathways", it ended Biden era abuses like mass parole, catch and release, and asylum fraud that overwhelmed the system. Backlogs and family categories still exist, but endless expansion, chain migration, and humanitarian loopholes were curtailed to prioritize citizens and vetted entrants.

Illegal aliens do not belong here. They are not entitled to citizen-funded housing, ER visits, Medicaid, schools, or law enforcement resources that cost taxpayers over $150B net annually, at the direct expense of Americans, including working families priced out in your Seattle district amid record homelessness and open drug markets under progressive policies.

They're not owed any of it just because they're immigrants or "not white." This is rule of law and citizens first, not your race baiting narrative.

Legal immigrants like the old you succeeded by following the rules. The illegal flows you defend burden hospitals, schools, and budgets.

Worse: Bad actors, terrorists, and enemy agents exploit the chaos to infiltrate, plan attacks on citizens and infrastructure. Hundreds on the terrorist watchlist have been encountered at the border, known got aways and unvetted entries make it far riskier. Sanctuary policies in places like your Seattle district give them aid, comfort, and safe haven instead of removal. That's not compassion, it's reckless endangerment.

Whites in Washington face daily racism through DEI mandates, hiring preferences, and policies that punish them for skin color. It's racism, plain and simple, no "reverse" about it.

Your Cuba trip, meeting regime officials, bashing U.S. sanctions as "economic bombing," and lobbying foreign diplomats to undermine American policy, isn't "diplomacy." It's actively working against U.S. interests. Not protected 1st Amendment speech for a lawmaker sworn to uphold policy.

Your calls to defund and dismantle ICE aren't "resistance" they're refusing to enforce the immigration laws you're duty bound to support. Lawmakers don't get to ignore statutes they dislike.

Your "Resistance Labs" use the exact same activist tactics to destabilize and supplant governments, undermining our state and federal authority from within.

Your oath was to the Constitution and to represent Americans. Prioritizing noncitizens, foreign regimes, rule-breakers, and security risks over citizens isn't the "American dream", it's undermining it. You should have focused on fixing your district's failures instead of importing more burdens. Legal immigration: yes. Fraud and Illegal claims on our resources and anti-enforcement activism: no. You don't belong in Office for one more second.

No one cares about your personal coming-out story any more than if a straight white guy tweeted daily about the day he noticed girls. It's not "resilience against bigotry", it's narcissistic virtue-signaling while Oregon burns.

Your policies have driven homelessness up sharply (now 27k people, with big increases on your watch), left K-12 test scores near the national bottom with dismal proficiency rates in math/reading that remain below prepandemic levels despite massive spending, and left the state facing repeated budget shortfalls requiring cuts.

Oregonians are worse off, higher crime and disorder in cities, failing schools, unaffordable living, while you obsess over identity and "hatred." Straight White men aren't the enemy; failed progressive governance is. Focus on results, not Pride Month therapy sessions. Oregon deserves better.

[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement @ICEgov]

Federal officials already deported this domestic abuser after a prison sentence several years ago, but he returned to the United States and quickly found himself back in prison.

ICE arrested Juan Pablo David Tellez-Cabezas upon his most recent release from an Oregon prison, armed with a federal criminal warrant charging him with illegal reentry and immediately handed him over to @USMarshalsHQ.

He has a lengthy rap sheet with convictions that include:
👉2017 | Strangulation—domestic violence
👉2017 | Assault—domestic violence
👉2017 | Coercion
👉2017 | Unlawful weapons use
👉2023 | Strangulation—domestic violence (again)
👉2023 | Reckless burning

ICE will pick him up once he’s faced justice for his immigration charges and deport him again.
