Elephant in Seattle

@LukeKIRO @KIRONewsradio @GovBobFerguson @WADeptHealth Please help us, @HarmeetKDhillon @AAGDhillon

"The Governor's office does not want to tell reporters about this policy..." Axios tells @KIRONewsradio: @GovBobFerguson's office told @WADeptHealth don't tell KIRO about a policy to control and filtering media inquiries and news releases. I have the details this morning...

@komonews It only took a week to “count” the votes in that mayoral race. Things that make you go hmmm.🤔

Seattle mayor's verbal missteps prompt national and viral attention, leadership questions: komonews.com/news/local/sea…

@VijayInWA Vote for Sean O’Donnell! Former prosecutor when that office actually prosecuted people. Current judge. Worked for Slade Gordon who was a Republican. And good dude. I’m MAGA and he has my vote!

Washington's Supreme Court is the last best hope for Washingtonians to take back their state. The current Supreme Court opened the door to an illegal income tax by allowing a capital gains tax that clearly violated the state constitution. However, 5 of the 9 Supreme Court seats are up for election this year, which is unprecedented. These seats rarely get much attention or many votes because they're unaffiliated. Candidates do not list a party affiliation because it's *meant* to be a non-partisan office. Unfortunately the current justices have shirked their duty to uphold the constitution; the supreme court has become a rubber stamp for the legislature, rather than an important check on the legislature's excesses. If Washingtonians come out in force and vote for justices who are committed to upholding the plain meaning of our constitution and the rule of law, we have a chance to take back our state.

@bundeskanzler @TwinFlagsEagle Nah, we’re good. We are tossing out the freeloaders and traitors. Best of luck, Germany! 👋

The United States is and will remain Germany‘s most important partner in the North Atlantic Alliance. We share a common goal: Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.

@wahlstedt007 Not hard at all. We love Trump. We love America.

As a German, I find the political situation in United States very stressful. How hard must it be for the American people???

@Shilohmarx @TurnSeattleRed @SecRollins That’s why WA is broke and raiding the pension funds of fire fighters and law enforcement.

Washington reported 86,915 non-citizens receiving SNAP benefits. @SecRollins

@GovBobFerguson I don’t give a crap. Focus on lowering the cost of living and getting rid of fraud. Oh, yea, you won’t do that because you’re a fraud too.

Washington state is home to tens of thousands of people with Middle Eastern and North African heritage, from a variety of faiths and cultures. We celebrate their contributions to our state, and reject discrimination.

@ScottPresler @AirForceDad50 My question is, where are the 5 senators that need to step up to start the process to remove Thune?

Senate Majority Leader Thune hasn’t made any statement about the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life.

@komonews Loud popping noises? I can’t hate media enough. It was gunshots. Just say it!

#BREAKING: President Trump was rushed off stage after loud popping noises at WH Correspondents' Dinner komonews.com/news/nation-wo…

@JayInslee You really are a POS!

We cannot forget that while Trump praises law enforcement for protecting him, he totally disrespected law enforcement officers who protected democracy against his coup attempt on Jan. 6. Never forget.

@RealSpitfire No

Do you think the media will stop their rhetoric against Trump after this evening?

@RealHickory Let’s hope! They want conservatives dead! Republicans must get out and vote.

Democrats just lost the midterms!

@GovBobFerguson How about reading Economics for Dummies.

Out celebrating national Independent Bookstore Day with my son Jack — one of the most voracious readers I know.

@SenMarkKelly Fuck off. You flame this violence with all your BS rhetoric!

I’m thankful that the President and others at the correspondents dinner are safe, and for the quick response from law enforcement.

@SenFettermanPA Why don’t get your party to fund DHS?

Gisele and I are safe and back home. We’re incredibly grateful for law enforcement and their quick reaction this evening.

@mattvanswol Putting our kids in a Christian private school was the best thing we did. No regrets.

I just got a phone call from my kid's school. They have cancelled his classes for this Friday, May 1st so that school staff can go protest. I'm so pissed. Every parent I know is scrambling for childcare right now, trying to take off work, they have NO IDEA what they are going to do. How does this happen?! How can they just cancel school for my kid so they can play activist when they should be teaching him TO READ AND DO MATH?! This may be our last straw... Homeschooling feels inevitable at this point. I'm so sick of this... I've been holding my toungue but I will do so no longer. If you want to fix the public schools, you are going to have to do the hard things that NOTHING in this protest will do: 1) DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL ALIENS and funding per AMERICAN student will increase DRASTICALLY How do I know? Because when ICE came to Charlotte NC, guess how many kids didn't show up to school? 30,000 kids. Yes, nearly 20% of ALL KIDS didn't show up to school because of ICE, so what does that tell you about how many illegal aliens we have going to our public schools in this country? 2) DRASTICALLY DEFUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. There are HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in school administration in North Carolina right now making $200,000-$315,0000. Guess what? None of them are teachers. Guess which positions in schools have grown in the past 10 years? Number of students: 2.5% increase Number of teachers: 2.2% increase Number of administrators: 45% increase Number of consultants: 107% increase You want to pay teachers more? Great, then you now know EXACTLY where to look. Because the "middle-management" for North Carolina schools grew 20x FASTER than the student population, so there's a good place to start. Sorry for the rant... I've been patient. I've been engaged. I've gone to the meetings. I've read the emails. I've donated, a LOT. I'm really close to just being done. If the public school system thinks canceling class so the adults can go to a rally is acceptable, then the public school system has told me exactly what it values. And it isn't my kid.

You can be arrested in WA by a non citizen. You can be prosecuted in WA by a non citizen. This state can’t be serious. We need help!

@EricLDaugh What an arrogant b*tch. Can we please kick her out of our country already?!

🚨 BOOM! Ilhan Omar now has 10 DAYS to provide documents on her involvement in a huge Somali Feeding our Future fraud scandal to the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Oversight Committee She tried to obstruct. PROSECUTE AND DEPORT!

@GovBobFerguson You’re a fraud.

Expanding child care will transform the lives of kids across Washington as families deal with rising costs. We're creating 2,056 new seats with these grants, and partnering with the Ballmer Group to provide funding for thousands more kids. We’re also supporting early learning with the Millionaires' Tax.

@KIRO7Seattle No shit.
