"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...

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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.
