On Transgender Day of Visibility today, we uplift and celebrate transgender Washingtonians.
I admire their resilience in the face of adversity. In Washington, we'll always stand up for the rights of transgender individuals. That won’t change as long as I am Governor.
Washington Democrats love to blame Trump. They love to blame MAGA. But they've controlled Washington State for years — and every single tax increase was their doing.
Here's what they signed into law. Look them up yourself.
🚨 GAS TAX
SB 5801 — Raised the gas tax +6 cents per gallon (July 2025). First increase in 9 years. Now 55.4¢/gallon — 3rd highest in the nation. Indexed to inflation, goes up automatically every year.
🚨 CARBON TAX
SB 5126 — The Climate Commitment Act. Adds ~46 cents or more per gallon on top of gas taxes. Washington set an all-time diesel price record in 2026 — $6.53/gallon vs. $5.95 in Oregon. Democrats fought to keep it when voters tried to repeal it in 2024.
🚨 INCOME TAX
SB 6346 — Signed March 30, 2026. Washington's first income tax since 1932. 9.9% on households earning $1 million or more. Raises $3 billion a year.
🚨 CAPITAL GAINS + ESTATE TAX
SB 5813 — Made the capital gains tax more progressive and increased estate tax rates. More money out of families and small businesses when they sell assets or pass wealth to their children.
🚨 BUSINESS TAXES
HB 2081 — Raised B&O surcharges and rates on large corporations.
HB 2020 — Increased B&O tax rate on payment processors.
HB 2077 — Created a brand new tax on carbon credit business activities.
🚨 PAYROLL TAXES — COMING OUT OF YOUR PAYCHECK
HB 1570 — Created a new social insurance payroll tax on rideshare/gig workers (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash).
SB 5291 — Long Term Care Act (WA Cares) — Mandatory payroll deduction on every Washington worker. Expanded by Democrats to now follow workers even after they leave the state.
Paid Family & Medical Leave — Democrat-created mandatory payroll premium. Has increased 53% in two years:
→ 2024: 0.74% of your wages
→ 2025: 0.92% of your wages
→ 2026: 1.13% of your wages
Every dollar — taken before you ever see your paycheck.
🚨 FEES & LICENSES
HB 1972 — Raised physician health program licensure fees.
HB 1756 — Clean energy tax changes explicitly increasing revenue to governments and schools.
HB 1552 — Extended and maintained real estate broker license fees.
Every single one — Democrat-sponsored.
Republicans sponsored ZERO tax increases. Zero.
Your gas costs more. Your groceries cost more. Your paycheck is smaller. Your home costs more to sell. And when you die, your kids pay more too.
Democrats did this. They passed it. They signed it. They own it.
And now they have the nerve to look you in the eye and say it's Republicans' fault.
Quit gaslighting us.
Washington Republicans have been fighting for you — voting NO on every one of these bills. But with a Democrat supermajority, they were outvoted every single time.
You want change? It starts with showing up.
This is just the last 6 years. I can keep going...

Thune slithered out of DC Friday night after ramming through a weak midnight bill that caved to Democrats and left TSA unfunded.
Trump had to step up and fund them. Speaker Johnson grew a spine, roasted the surrender, and sent the strong House bill right back.
Thune: the ultimate RINO wet noodle — “Yes… No… Maybe…”
Looking for your backbone, Senator? Johnson’s holding it at the House. Come get it.

@GovBobFerguson WOW you’ve got a lot of historic days in your governorship. Largest tax on citizens, largest tax on free market, largest tax on people working to make over $1M, I mean those are real historic accomplishments you should be proud of. 🖕
Because of the hard work of so many on the Millionaires' Tax, it's a historic day for Washingtonians.
I appreciate sponsors Sen. Pedersen and Rep. Fitzgibbon, finance leads Rep. Berg and Sen. Frame, Speaker Jinkins, and all the legislators and advocates who supported this bill.
.@TCSWashington will be there Monday when @GovBobFerguson signs the income tax bill into law. 10am, State Reception Room WA Leg Building. How soon after will initiative effort be announced?

@Junuh891@DanielGilr44222 No my friend it’s pure assholery. If you consider that comedy you should reevaluate your morales. Don’t blame you though it’s your parents fault for not raising you right.
@Hickoryonly@DanielGilr44222 Oh it is pure comedy actually. making fun of a widow not behaving like one instead quite the opposite. that's life welcome happy birthday Reb 1 days old in society!
Erika Kirk angrily clapped back at 50 Cent after he joked that a side-by-side of Druski looked like “two pictures of Erika Kirk.”
She pushed back, insisting the photo isn’t her and accused people of dragging the joke too far.
-It’s comedy y’all 🎭 😂😆
