@ripfish @Udntnonutn @bennyjohnson You seem to be fixated on guns. You realize that NO ICE agents have used firearms without their safety being directly threatened - right? With all the crap they have to put up with I think they've shown remarkable restraint. Not posted at polling places - but not excluded.

@SpeedproSpokane @Udntnonutn @bennyjohnson LOL wait, what? You think illegals are going to go to voting areas to AVOID being picked up by ICE? So therefore, we need ICE at voting areas? With guns. This is a new one, man. Wow.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Senate has just voted 51-48 to open debate on the SAVE America Act

@ripfish @Udntnonutn @bennyjohnson When you advertise a "safe space" that's where illegals will go to avoid being picked up by ICE. I support all law enforcement - why be worried if you have nothing to hide? Better than Black Panthers in Pennsylvania in 2008.

@SpeedproSpokane @Udntnonutn @bennyjohnson Why do Republicans WANT armed agents at polling places? That’s the real question.

@Udntnonutn @bennyjohnson It's the same proof you need for a Real ID - which is already law. Why do 80+% of ALL americans support it? Because it's just common sense. Tell me - why do Democrats want to ban ICE from polling places? If no illegals are voting?

Hey Benny, the Senate advancing the SAVE America Act sounds like a win for "integrity," but this reform is largely unnecessary in practice. Non citizen voting is extremely rare, even the Heritage Foundation's own Election Fraud Database shows only a tiny handful of proven cases nationwide over decades, with analyses finding roughly 77 instances of non citizen voting between 1999–2023 (out of the billions of votes cast). No evidence it has ever swung federal elections. Recent state audits found only a handful of credible cases, confirming it's not a widespread or coordinated issue. Yet this bill would require documented proof of citizenship (passport/birth cert) for federal voter registration, something over 21 million eligible US citizens don't have readily available. Millions more face real barriers like lost docs, and name changes, disproportionately affecting people of color, younger voters, and lower income folks. We already have safeguards in place, citizenship affirmation under perjury penalties, which is a federal crime, state database cross checks, prosecutions when rare cases occur. This creates big hurdles for legitimate voters to solve a microscopic problem. Better approaches out there, like improved interstate voter roll matching, without risking disenfranchising millions of actual Americans. If you had it your way, only voters who look like you, would have the right to vote. At least have the balls to admit your agenda.

@GovBobFerguson Crumbling bridges? And yet you and your wife just posted about filling out FAFSA forms for your kids to get state sponsored financial aid for school - even though you make $275k+? Your priorities are bass ackward.... Guess it's easy when it's other people's money.

Across our state, 212 bridges are rated in poor condition. Our bridges are in dire need of preservation and maintenance. We need nothing short of historic investments. I've proposed the largest in 20 years — more than a billion dollars — all without raising taxes. Are these bridges in your community? In the coming days, I'll be sharing maps from counties with the highest number of bridges in "poor" condition: “advanced deficiencies such as section loss, deterioration, or seriously affected structural components.” Our WSDOT inspectors are hard at work ensuring these bridges are safe to drive on, but it’s like changing the oil on your car: If you skip that basic maintenance, you could have a catastrophic failure and pay more down the line. If our state continues to underfund this critical work, we will see more closures like we've had recently in Moses Lake and SR 99 in Seattle.

@WaHouseGOP The last time WA state had Republican leadership was Gov. John Spellman from 1981-1985. Coincidentally WA started vote by mail in 1983. Democrats have been in power ever since. Pass the SAVE Act.

1️⃣Article VII, Section 2 of the Washington State Constitution requires that property taxes be uniform and caps them at 1%. In Culliton v. Chase (1933), the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that income is property. The people have consistently rejected a state income tax, and the Legislature banned a state income tax as recently as 2024 with I-2111. Gov. Bob Ferguson and legislative Democrats want to pass an income tax anyway. House Republicans oppose new taxes in 2026. A state income tax is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and – if implemented – it will eventually target everyone. 2️⃣Washington’s carbon tax, known as the Climate Commitment Act, adds an estimated 56.7 cents per gallon to the cost of gasoline. In 2025, Democrats also raised the state gas tax to 55.4 cents per gallon – the third highest in the nation – with automatic 2% yearly hikes. House Republicans support providing relief to drivers at the pump. 3️⃣Washington ranks dead last in the nation for police officers per capita and we have the third-highest property crime rate in the nation. House Republicans sponsored legislation (HB 1435) in 2025 to hire more law enforcement officers. Democrats rejected that proposal and, instead, spent $100 million without any guarantees. To date, no cops have been hired under their grant program. 4️⃣Years of high fees and burdensome regulations have caused Washington’s housing supply to be among the lowest in the nation. In 2025, Democrats enacted rent control, which will further restrict the supply of new housing. House Republicans are sponsoring bills (HB 2141 and HB 1438) to increase the supply of housing.

@wingod @HustleBitch_ $280k in interest is correct; ONLY if you pay 0% down. 20% down is $224k interest. At only 2% annual appreciation that house is worth $543k when paid off. Compare that to renting for $1,600/mo for 30 years. THAT'S $576k w/ no equity.

@HustleBitch_ Her math is faulty.

🚨 SHE JUST DID THE MATH ON HER MORTGAGE - AND IT’S MAKING PEOPLE SICK An American homeowner breaks down her numbers on camera and it hits hard. She bought a $300,000 house with a 30-year mortgage at 5% - the most normal setup imaginable. But the math is brutal. Total paid over time: $864,000. Interest alone: $564,000. That’s money that buys nothing. No house. No upgrades. No equity. Just decades of payments to the bank. She’s up at midnight running the numbers, quietly making micro-payments to try to escape the trap early. So is this homeownership… or a debt prison built on purpose?

@Acyn Now do the Keystone pipeline. 🤡

AOC: Do you know how many jobs have been lost due to the Trump Admin’s closures of clean energy projects in the first half of this year? 91,000. In Colorado 8th district, a company cancelled a $190 million battery plant. In that same district, another company cancelled plans to build solar panels and scratched a $250 million investment and up to 900 jobs. In Georgia 12, an EV plant was cancelled. Another town in Georgia with a population 157 people lost out 166 jobs. They lost more jobs than they have people in that town because of the war on clean energy. In that same district, a copper foil manufacturing plant went bankrupt and Augusta, Georgia lost out on 350 jobs. In South Carolina, 250 jobs when construction of an EV plant was halted. In Michigan 10th, 167 jobs were lost— This is an industry that has been a source for jobs and growth. This administration is destroying the American economy, destroying American jobs. 91,000 jobs in this sector alone. In these towns and areas, what is the DOE’s plan to replace those jobs?

@komonews Bob needs to read about the Supremacy Clause. WA has a multibillion $ deficit and he thinks spending millions to fight the federal government on behalf of illegal immigrants - which he will lose - is insane. Take the "L" Bob.

Do you think federal funding should be contingent on cooperating with immigration policies? ✅VOTE in the story. komonews.com/news/local/us-…

@DarrigoMelanie You forget to mention how much that person pays on the FIRST $1M. In NYC; counting federal, FICA, state and local taxes they would pay $458,815.00. That's an effective tax rate of 45.88%. That's for 2024. How much is enough for you jackals?

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

@maziehirono "I don’t believe Mazie Hirono understands the Constitution." There - fixed it.

I don’t believe Pete Hegseth understands the Constitution.

@SharylAttkisson Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

What are your thoughts on protesters violently pushing and beating on cars, trying to stop them, getting in the way-- then when the drivers try to escape (arguably believing they could be pulled out of the car and attacked or killed) people are outraged that protesters standing in front of the vehicle to block and attack it...are hurt?

@jasonrantz Yes; hydro power is the ultimate clean energy. The dams have created lakes for recreating and fishing. Plus NO ugly wind turbines or acres of solar panels. Win/win/win.

@KING5Seattle The police are "doing proactive patrols". Right. Then how did this kid shoot two others? I'll bet they try and prosecute the good guy with a gun. 🤡

Police said the teen shot two people before he encountered a 57-year-old man licensed to carry a firearm, who then shot the teen. king5.com/article/news/l…

It’s time to send a strong signal to @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune. If you believe we should vote weekly on D.O.G.E. budget reductions, leave a “👍” in the comments below. I’ve tagged them to ensure they see it.

@The_Only_Barbie How much does he charge for mowing the lawn? Changing light bulbs? Cleaning the garage? Fixing the car? Shop rates are about $200/hr plus parts these days. Most women would feel blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom.

She charges her husband for “stay at home mom” services 🔥More women need to have this mentality:

@future42org @ajamestv Increase the gas tax insanely to make people drive fuel efficient cars. Then put EV mandates in place. Gas tax $$ go down (predictably); so increase fees on fuel efficient cars and EV's to make up for it. And leave the gas tax in place. WA state = 🤡.

Do you own a fuel efficient car? Well, Democrats in Olympia want to tax you MORE if your car gets 25mpg or higher, because you are paying less Gas Tax. Go reread that and then watch the video. @ajamestv at Fox 13

What’s an old-fashioned name that nobody would give their kids today —besides sharyl? My grandmother’s name was Winnie for Winifred and my grandfather’s name was Chic for Isaac.

@pnwconservative @AGOWA @GovBobFerguson WA State Constitution Article 1 Section 2 States: "The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land." So why the lawsuit? 🤔

@seattletimes Washington State Constitution Article 1 Section 2: "The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land." They're not illiterate; they just don't care.

@PiperK The government acknowledges social security will be insolvent in less than a decade. Cutting government, waste, fraud & abuse is the only hope of saving it. You have a better idea?

If Social Security collapses, millions of our elderly will start dying in the streets, assisted living facilities will go under, and our economic system will not survive. This is where Elon Musk is taking us.
