@komonews Thanks to:

As prices rise for everything from everyday household items to groceries and gas, a new report suggests that Washington's affordability crisis is persistent and accelerating. bit.ly/4smeiuR

@komonews Mayors are beginning to be charged with violation of Tile 18 US Code 1324, and I think DOJ will start with the Governor's, hopefully with Bob.

The ‘Immigrant Worker Protection Act' requires that an employer notify its employees with five business days of receiving a federal notice of an I-9 (identity and legal work authorization) inspection. bit.ly/4vejNi1

@PNWForestKing Right, and if you vote democrat you will see the price double. GOP is outnumbered, & can vote NO every time, just to be out voted in the WA Leg by all the democrat's. All taxes have been approved by the Dem's, & Bob F signed them into law.

TERRORISM: This is what the failed GOP and WALEG has created in Washington State. Never negotiate with terrorists, communists, or socialists. Incrementalism and 'go along to get along' has consequences. Hold them ALL accountable this upcoming election.

@greendragonhq And all that money a person paid for child care before it was free, will now be paid to the state of NY, and most likely be a higher tax than it would be if you paid for your own child care.

MAGA is fuming after Zohran Mamdani continues to deliver on campaign promises. Despite Republicans saying it could not be done, daycare for children in New York City is now free saving families $20,000 per child per year. Turns out you can accomplish amazing things when you stop giving tax cuts to billionaires and funding endless Middle Eastern wars.

@SteveTVNews @tyrahmajors No one is surprised that the State, & the Counties (King mostly) increase taxes for issues that are receiving funds for those programs already. One thing I have not seen, is HOW will the state know who makes $1M a yr? Will there be forms filled out by every citizen?

HAPPENING TODAY: King County leaders will weigh in on a new way to pay for crumbling roads and bridges. As our @tyrahmajors reports, a proposed sales tax hike could bring in $100M a year. But the idea is facing some pushback.

@RepJayapal Trans is nothing more than a delusional homosexual that wants the feeling they are of the opposite sex.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Please know that I will never stop fighting for the trans community and I will ALWAYS stand with you! 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

@westghentwitch @thehoffather @SydneyLough2 Ok genus. If 2 people are standing side by side, & 1 is a millionaire, how will the State know which one is to be taxed as a millionaire?

@thehoffather @SydneyLough2 Shut up he’s taxing the rich as all states should.

BREAKING: Governor Bob Ferguson has just signed the Democrats' unconstitutional income tax that will affect all Washingtonians into law Legal challenges and initiatives are already being filed

@komonews KOMO, why are you NOT reporting HOW this will be accomplished? How will the tax be calculated from people making less than 1M, and those that are making more than 1M? Will there be State Tax forms from everyone in the State?

Gov. Bob Ferguson is expected to sign the so-called “millionaires tax” bill Monday morning, a move supporters say will rebalance the state’s tax code and critics call an unconstitutional step toward a broader income tax. bit.ly/3PvsCnp

@WashingtonSRC Every single citizen in WA state will have to fill out a State income tax form, to show their income level is below the 1M amount. This in itself violates the state constitution of NO INCOME TAX. How else will there be an accounting of peoples money?

Sen. Jeff Wilson explains how the income tax on everyone (SB 6346) is penalty on success, hurts philanthropy, and is a deterrent to marriage. SB 6346 is the most unpopular bill in WA state history with at least 100,000+ people Signing-in CON against it - a state record. SB 6346 is disingenuously being branded as a "millionaire tax" by the far left and special interests, but they rejected Amendment 696 which ensured this tax is only for millionaires. This tax can be applied to everyone as early as next year by amending it --- without a vote of the people. "There is absolutely no love in this bill." -Sen. Wilson #GovernmentGreed #StopTheGreed #ReturnAffordability #waleg

@PNWConservative Another example of the fight that is happening within the brain, between the T's and the E's fighting for control of the body, and it causes the mind to unleash rage upon the world.

Are doing enough to protect “tr*ns immigrant women?” Loony tune: “I stand before you today asking that you would protect tr*nsgender women across this city. Especially black tr*ns women and t*ns immigrant women.”

@RealElliottHope @Shilohmarx As long as this (see attached) is in place, there will never be a chance for anyone to review their own ballot, nor to see how their vote was cast. This has to go away.

@Shilohmarx I hate the guy, but wouldn't that mean even if every single one of those duplicate registrations voted for him, he would have still won without them?

Governor Bob Ferguson (D-WA) won Washington by 433,550 votes in 2024. Washington had 427,038 duplicate registrations.

@GovBobFerguson Voter data is no different than IRS information, except whether a person is a US citizen or not. What WA citizen's want, is YOU to allow WA citizen's to view the votes that were cast, to ensure their vote was placed on the person or the issue. This below IS VOTER SUPPRESSION

Important news for voting in Washington state: I recently signed 5 election-related bills, including to respond to federal efforts to access voter data. We established a state-level voting rights preclearance process for jurisdictions that have previously violated voting rights laws. We amended who can challenge a voter’s registration. We clarified the statute that information like a voter’s driver’s license number, Social Security number, or full birth date is confidential, and made unauthorized disclosure of private voter information a class C felony.  We strengthened coordination between elections offices and federally recognized Tribes. And we strengthened the Washington Voting Rights Act by clarifying how voting rights violations are addressed and resolved.

@UpsetLiberal123 @MrAndyNgo The city Mayor & City council told the police, & fire dept's to stand down, and allowed the lunatic leftists to take over those 6 blocks. It was not taken out until the Mayor was threaten by the same lunatics.

@MrAndyNgo I don’t get how the city of Seattle would be responsible for this. In 2020, it was either succumb to the mob or feel the wrath of the lunatic leftists. Obviously Seattle gave the mob what they wanted. It’s unfortunate someone died because of it.

The City of Seattle is appealing a $30.5m verdict finding that it is liable for a black boy being shot and killed by CHAZ's BLM-Antifa "border security" in 2020. The City is asking that the verdict be overturned and a retrial held. Read: thepostmillennial.com/seattle-asks-j…

@uhhhhhhhhhhh345 @Anthonyisback33 @alejandragold42 @CoryBooker True, it will not match their birth cert, but will match their marriage lic/cert. For the individuals (Like Booker) that fail to understand, a birth cert is a document that is issued when born, & a marriage cert/lic is issued when you get married.

@Anthonyisback33 @alejandragold42 @CoryBooker the person is trying to say that since the save act requires proof of identity AND citizenship, It would make it harder for married women who changed their last name to vote, as their ID would not match their birth certificate.

The SAVE Act would make it harder for you to vote this November.

@PNWConservative Could be dry plant food in the can.

These people vote

A little more from the ruling, with her sister, & son also receiving a few months in prison. A question comes to mind, WHO were the Veteran Rep's (VFW/DAV) that completed the processing of the documents? I am sure some red flags during the process would be cause for concern. Lee-Carroll designated her sister and son as her caregivers so that the VA would pay them for the hours they claimed they cared for Lee-Carroll.  Her sister and son claimed to be caring for Lee-Carroll while they were clocked in at other jobs such as driving a truck or working as an administrative assistant. On some of the occasions that they claimed to be caring for Lee-Carroll, she was traveling to Las Vegas, Tennessee, or internationally to Mexico or Jamaica, without any caregivers. The scheme stole more than $1.1 million in VA funds. Lee-Carroll was ordered to pay $932,142 in restitution. Her son, Robert H. Nelson III, 28, was sentenced last November to 14 months in federal prison and was ordered to pay $282,698 in restitution. Her sister, Katoya F. Grant, 41, was sentenced earlier this month to a ‘time-served’ sentence with six months of supervised release and was ordered to pay $293,787 in restitution. Lee-Carroll served in the Army for three months in 1986 and then joined the Army Reserves from 1986-1994. Lee-Carroll claimed a service-related disability in 2012 and received caregiver funding in 2013. Prosecutors acknowledged that Lee-Carroll did qualify for some disability payments but not the more than $11,000 per month that she was receiving.

@MrAndyNgo How do you get $11k/month in VA benefits? Was she a purple heart?

Kent, Wash. — BLM activist Kelly M. Lee-Carroll, 58, was sentenced to only 17 months in prison after being convicted of defrauding the Department of Veterans Affairs of more than $1 million. Lee-Carroll, who sold “luxury” BLM-themed covid masks and shirts, falsely claimed she was bedbound with paralysis and needed constant assistance with all activities of daily living. Surveillance footage and social media posts revealed a different story. She was seen walking around on her own while shopping. She spent the money intended for disabled veterans on lavish vacations to Mexico and Jamaica, gambling in casinos, buying cars, and even a second home. She has been ordered to pay $932,142 in restitution. ngocomment.com

@PattyMurray Hey Patty's staff! Tell Murray she can NOT push the BS, 90% WANT the Save Act to pass. STOP being the "yesum boss to Patty Murray.

Residents of Washington state. Students. Married women. Seniors. Rural families. Millions of people will have to jump through hoops & pay more to vote under Trump's SAVE America Act. I will not let Republicans pass their scam anti-voter bill.

@PramilaJayapal And most of those 127,000 ballots had NO POST MARK DATE, but, we were told to load them, and when we questioned that process, we were fired on the spot, and can never work polls again.

In the 2024 election, 127,000 Washingtonians cast ballots that arrived after Election Day – all legally postmarked on time. Trump's cronies on the Supreme Court want to throw every one out — not because those voters broke the law, but because the GOP can't win fair. Voters see through this. They’ll make their voices heard in November.

@Dennis023B @SenJeffMerkley You say: the Save act will " SUPPRESS THE PEOPLE'S VOTES", you also say it is "wolf in SHEEPS clothing" Us "MAROONS" would like you to "enlighten" us with your wisdom, please make it short, we only had 4.5yrs of college.

@SenJeffMerkley IT'S FU*K AMERICA AND THE PEOPLE ACT. GET RID OF DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOMS. THE REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE POWER FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS. MANIPULATE THE VOTING AND SUPPRESS THE PEOPLE'S VOTES. IT WILL BRING IN DICTATORSHIP AND FASCISM.

The SAVE America Act is really the “Stop Citizens from Voting Act.” Trump wants to throw out your freedom to vote to maintain his grasp on power—and in his words, “never lose an election again.” HELL NO!

@PattyMurray This is your personal feelings, and does NOT reflect the will of WA citizen's. 90% WANT the Save America Act to PASS. And you NEED to be prepared to answer this question: "Did you have any input when this was passed by WA State Congress?"

The SAVE America Act is a disaster for democracy and I'm not going let it get passed into law. Are we seriously going to ask rural seniors to buy a $165 passport and drive miles and miles to register to vote in person?
