@Susan_G_530 You have a choice between the current nutjob or someone who is better, but not perfect. Do you really want 4 more years of what you have? Quit bitching and vote for the lesser of two evils.

I've been reading through Drazan's X account and I'm not impressed. We're less than 4 months away from the election, I'm not seeing or hearing a cohesive plan of action. I'm feeling hopeless and alone. I don't think she has what it takes to win this election. 🤷‍♀️ I see a lot of her saying Tina Kotek this or that... or "Oregonians deserve better." YES, WE DO!! I'd like to hear the plan to address Sex offenders who run loose and abuse Oregon women and children. Child transitioning and holding people responsible. Homelessness/housing. Fentanyl, Addiction, mental illness, drug induced psychoses. Crime, law enforcement. Antifa. Socialists running for office and those in office working hard to finish the job Kate Brown and Tina Kotek have started. And while I'm at it, my fight for SIX years has been to have leaders address Portland's downtown housed community, the trauma we've endured, watching our neighborhood be decimated by riots endorsed by Dem rule, leaving us alone, scared... many of us elderly, disabled and unable to leave, writing rent checks to live in a slum. Are you better, @ChristineDrazan @TeamDrazan? After the election I will change my voter registration to Independent because I can't see where the @Oregon_GOP has played a part in making anything better... Are you enough, do you have what it takes?

@TrumpDailyPosts Democrats are the largest threat.

Today on America 250, what is the #1 threat to Liberty in America?🇺🇸

@BrandiKruse I was hoping we could get someone who is not part of the uni-party.

Our next president. And it won’t even be close. 🇺🇸

@GodandCountryy @FBIDirectorKash @TexasRepublic71 Looks more like a limp dick to me. Arrest the pedos from the Epstein files!

@FBIDirectorKash @TexasRepublic71

I don’t care what people think about me, but the RESULTS at this FBI under President Trump speak for themselves. -DKP🇺🇸

@thehoffather A framework is not a binding peace deal. Come back when one is signed and Christians in the Middle East are no longer being killed by all countries there.

DEVELOPING: Secretary Marco Rubio just brokered a framework agreement for peace between Israel and Lebanon. America, Israel & Lebanon are all signatories The IDF will withdraw from small areas in Southern Lebanon & will be replaced by the Lebanese military against Hezbollah

@TCSWashington Vote out all incumbents from the Supreme Court. Our stat's survival depends on it.

Washington Supreme Court Justice Colleen Melody says her statewide appellate experience and background in constitutional law make her the strongest choice for voters this August. In a Q&A with The Center Square, she also addressed questions about judicial independence, recusal and the state's pending income tax challenge. Read more: thecentersquare.com/washington/art…

@darcyex @weheartseattle Don't call them leaders. A true leader would not allow this crap to happen. The elected of all levels of Washington are truly evil people who need to be removed from office as soon as possible.

@weheartseattle Enough! Our leaders are failing innocent babies. They have no souls. Let alone empathy.

Some people are mad I’m posting this, but silence won’t fix it. This mom is living in a tent with her baby in a Seattle park. She openly calls the baby ‘just a trick.’ She already lost custody of two other kids. Multiple programs have tried to help her such as family shelters, housing, everything! But nothing was ‘quite the right fit.’ So the baby stays in the woods while she stays addicted. Drugs are the problem. Enabling isn’t compassion. If we won’t talk about this, how the hell do we ever fix it? @BattleEndsHere @kmmoreland @ExecZahilay @MayorofSeattle @GovBobFerguson @HUDgov @SeattleCouncil BAN CAMPING!

@LynnwoodTimes I agree, I don't want anyone to touch my ballot. I want to get it in person and personally put it in the ballot bag like I did back when elections were honest.

👀 COMMENTARY: Hands off our ballots! Secretary Hobbs on USPS new proposed ballot mail rule As Secretary of State of Washington, I submit the following comments in response to the United States Postal Service proposal titled Ballot Mail for Federal Elections as noticed on May 29, 2026. The Constitution is clear that authority over federal elections rests with states and Congress. My authority to administer elections is written in the United States Constitution, Title 52 US Code, National Voter Registration Act of 1993, Help America Vote Act of 2002, Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act of 2009, and in Washington state law: in the Washington State Constitution, Revised Code of Washington - Title 29A and our state’s administrative code. The Washington Office of the Secretary of State is committed to protecting voters’ rights and will continue to administer free, fair, and accessible elections. I oppose USPS’s proposed rule for handling ballot mail in federal elections in alignment with Executive Order 14399 regarding elections. There are several reasons the proposed rule is unnecessary and unconstitutional. 1. The executive order on which this proposed rule is based and the proposed rule itself are unconstitutional intrusions on state authority over elections and also violate the constitutional separation of powers. A court recently agreed that the executive order’s directions to USPS were unlawful, and the USPS has no constitutional authority to interfere with state regulation of the time, place, and manner of holding elections. The court specifically forbid the USPS from proposing or implementing rules outlined in the executive order for the November 3, 2026 election and all earlier elections. The USPS should withdraw the proposed rule. 2. To start, there is insufficient time to implement the rule, which would be a financial burden on an electoral system that currently functions well despite limited resources. The proposed rule is issued with insufficient implementation time and would impose significant costs on state and local governments, especially on rural and resource-limited counties in Washington. Many counties have already prepared their 2026 General Election ballot envelopes. If this rule is adopted and goes into effect before the general election, counties may not be able to use the ballot envelopes they have already purchased. They would instead need to move from windowed envelopes to non-windowed envelopes to accommodate the unique Intelligent Mail Barcode on both the outbound and return mail envelopes. Further, few counties would be capable of generating unique barcodes for both outbound and return ballot mailings without significant, costly systematic changes. Counties may also need to hire additional contractors and staff to assist if unique barcodes were required. County and statewide budgets have already set and many counties do not have the financial resources to make required changes in such a condensed time period. Under the proposed rule, difficulties in meeting these challenges could result in voters not timely receiving their ballots, interfering with their ability to participate in the election. While the rule states that it “only applies to federal elections,” it has an equal effect on state and local ballots that appear on our consolidated election ballots. By proposing that USPS may not deliver a ballot to an individual under this “federal election” rule, the proposed rule would also impose a direct impact on citizens’ right to vote in state and local elections. The condensed timeframe for implementing the proposed rule is also likely to result in significant voter confusion about the list and whether voters will still be able to receive and return ballots by mail. This will require a public education campaign. Our office had a very successful “Mark the Ballot” campaign that showed boosted voter trust even after the election. To successfully implement such a significant change, a reasonable public messaging campaign like this one is essential to ensure that voters ballots are received timely and counted. 3. The observed operational realities of the USPS in Washington do not indicate that the USPS has the resources or functional ability to implement the proposed rule in such a condensed timeframe. My office has already observed a significant degradation of the USPS services over the last few elections. The proposed rule comes on the heels of changes in postmarking practices that are increasing the number of returned ballots being rejected for late postmark. During the 2026 February Special Election, for example, 1.3% of all returned ballots (or 75% of the total rejected ballots) were rejected due to a late postmark. This represents the State’s highest rate of rejection for an election since February 2019 and indicates a delay in postmarking mail compared to previous performance. We have observed other deteriorations in USPS services. At least one county in Washington recently conducted mail delivery testing to assess the delivery times in their area. Teams of two election staff deposited generic return ballot envelopes in USPS blue collection boxes on different dates to assess USPS delivery rates. The results of their tests do not give me confidence in the USPS. On January 23rd, 25 ballots were mailed before 10AM. Four were postmarked that same day. 18 were postmarked the following day, January 24th, while the remaining three envelopes were postmarked between three and six days later. On February 9th, the day before Election Day, 25 ballots were mailed before 10AM. 22 were postmarked the following day, February 10th. By February 12th, three days later, the remaining three envelopes had not yet been received by the county auditor. On February 10th, on Election Day, 15 ballots were mailed before 9AM. Seven were postmarked that same day. Seven were postmarked the following day, February 11th, and would have been unable to be counted due to the late postmark. By February 12th, two days later, the remaining ballot had not yet been received by the county auditor. These inconsistencies in postmarking demonstrate a lack of standardization and uneven service delivery even when limited to a small sample area. I’m concerned about what inconsistencies would emerge or worsen if this rule were applied nationally without the appropriate implementation and training to avoid delays or worse. The rule is likely to lead to delays in mailing ballots, and those delays will exacerbate the postmarking problem. We are currently observing delays and inconsistent delivery by the USPS, and the efforts required by the proposed rule will likely add additional delays to processing. Not only is the rule unconstitutional, it will disenfranchise voters and substantially increase the burdens on state and local governments for no discernable benefit. 4. The proposed rule also lacks essential information to assure election officials and voters that it can be implemented while protecting voter privacy and preventing harm to election processes. If my office were to provide a list to the USPS to implement this rule, how would the USPS maintain security of the list and how often would it be updated? It is clear that the USPS has not contemplated how to process such a list or how to mitigate the inevitable resulting delay to mail processing times. 5. The rule does not address any documented challenges related to unauthorized voting. The actual data proves that voter fraud is incredibly rare and does not come anywhere close to impacting our elections. Consistent with national studies demonstrating that voter fraud is rare, a review of Washington State data reveals that between 2008 and 2025 there have been just 5 instances of proven voter fraud out of almost 90 million ballots cast during that time. For decades, Washington has successfully administered secure and accessible vote-by-mail elections, supported by strong voter verification and regular voter roll maintenance, with ballots sent to all registered voters. 6. Finally, this rule goes against the very values of the USPS that have been in place since 1775. It is contrary to this beloved institution’s mission and legal mandate to “bind the nation together” and would instead undermine the democratic voting that connects us all. This rule represents a solution looking for a problem. It’s unnecessary and does nothing to enhance the security of our elections. As written, the federal government would determine which voters can receive and return a ballot using the U.S. Postal Service, which is outside its authority. — Steve Hobbs, Washington Secretary of State 📝Steve Hobbs is Washington’s 16th secretary of state sworn in on November 22, 2021.

@BreitbartNews Maybe someone should tell this member of Congress that the US is governed by our Constitution and not international law.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-AZ): "Today we watched as the Supreme Court sided with an administration that is seeking to strip away the basic human rights, protected under international law, for hundreds of thousands of American families." "The Supreme Court has cleared the way to allow this administration to carry out a mass deportation plan against immigrants who have nowhere to go."

@tesla_hillbilly @nettermike @srtcat1 I agree the company is not in Seattle He should have laid it at the feet of Turd Ferguson and the legislature.

@nettermike @srtcat1 You do realize that the company has nothing to do with Seattle, nor its mayor, don’t you? Dumb fucking idiots posting shit for clicks and attention. Seeing the same stupid shit on Facebook.

🚨 Seattle Mayor Giggles and Waves Goodbye as $800 Million & 2,000 Aerospace Jobs choosen to be created in Montana! Vs Seattle A legendary Washington family business — Janicki Industries — that builds parts for Boeing Dreamliners, fighter jets, and NASA spacecraft just took its massive $800 million expansion and 2,000 future jobs out of state. After 33 years of growing in Washington, crushing regulations, skyrocketing taxes, and hostile policies finally made the math impossible. Instead of fighting to keep them, Seattle’s Mayor Katie Wilson literally giggled and said: “If the ones that leave, like bye.” Now those jobs and that investment are heading to Great Falls, Montana — a state that actually welcomes business. How many more companies have to flee before Washington wakes up? This is a warning for every worker and family in the state.

@RepJayapal So in other words true grifters funnelling tax money to you.

This week in Seattle, I met with a group of BIPOC women who are executive directors for organizations doing great work in WA-07. It is so wonderful to see these powerful women of color leading our city in the right direction. I’ll continue to fight forward so more of us have a seat at the table.

@RepThomasMassie @TrumpDailyPosts If the government could tell Israel to pound sand. Then it is only the Uni-party. So US Government is the biggest threat to freedom.

@TrumpDailyPosts What is the most dangerous threat to Liberty in America?

What is the most dangerous threat to Liberty in America?

@TrumpDailyPosts The Uni-party or any politician. Take your pick.

@WAPolicyGreen Really, so Ukraine shelling their own territory and citizens for 8 years is something to support? You need to detox from the Kool aid.

Every morning I wake up to see what Ukraine has done to punish Putin and Russia for their evil war. This morning was glorious. May there be more like it until Russians finally give up on their revanchist Soviet ideology and wars of conquest. #SlavaUkraïni

@mrandystevens @JonahDispatch I think it is not the job of government to pass out $$ to lift them up. It is always better coming from the people. The trouble is this country has way too many lazy people who have too much envy and greedy personalities.

@JonahDispatch To me, the stupidest thing is seeing elected lawmakers demand Musk do their jobs for them.

I get the impression that a lot of people, including many with advanced degrees, don’t know that if Elon Musk tried to sell all of his stock at once the value of the stock would go down. It’s like the people who think if we find a gold asteroid it’d be worth the current price of gold when brought to market.

@mrandystevens Next time get a plywood or full wood desk. Particleboard will not take the weight and stress.

Welp…so much for that desk. My monitor and arm were just too much for it.

@MaryMargOlohan Another diversion by the uni-party so people are looking the other way. Arrest and perp walk the people in the Epstein files!

NEW: According to the newly released UAP files, in July 2025, an eyewitness was returning home from work and "observed an intense bright light in their backyard as they parked their car." "The light was hovering approximately 25 feet off the ground, below a tree line near the center of their backyard, at an estimated distance of 90 feet. The eyewitness exited their vehicle briefly before retrieving their phone to record the event." "The spouse of the eyewitness came outside to assess the situation. The spouse also witnessed the light, describing it as a 'brilliant red sphere' about one meter in diameter." "The center of the red sphere appeared to be a white plasma 'sun' about the size of a basketball. The orb slowly rose and moved to the left, and both eyewitnesses observed a second, identical orb, hovering above the other orb." "The eyewitness then began recording the event using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, capturing the footage depicted in this video. As the eyewitness began recording, the orbs moved westward together above a nearby tree line. The witnesses described the orbs’ motion as silent and smooth, and as moving in tandem as though they were flying in formation or tethered together." "As the orbs moved out of sight, both eyewitnesses saw them appear to merge. The eyewitnesses estimated that the orbs moved from their initial position before disappearing from view at an estimated distance of 75 yards." "This observation occurred within 25 miles of the 'Triangle Orbs,' 'Red Orb Rotation,' and 'Orbs Over the Pond,' sightings at a location well known to them, which is sparsely populated." "The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by eyewitnesses to the event. The FBI assesses the individuals who reported this event as credible."

@LilaGraceRose One of my children was born at 34 weeks and 2 days. He spent 2bweeks in the NICU mainly so he could gain weight. He is now a very healthy 21 year old young man who excels at anything he does. Stop killing our future!

A 34-week-old baby. Premature infants at this stage have over a 95% survival rate with NICU support and low rates of severe long-term issues. Yet in some states, these children are dehumanized and aborted because they’re labeled “inconvenient” or “just a clump of cells.” This child isn’t disposable. He or she is fully human and worthy of life.

@thehoffather It should be king county will be next, not could they be next. Then again we are in Washington State and for some reason the feds don't want to help us.

HUD is cutting off funding to Homeless Inc. in Los Angeles—not because it's not working, but because it's fraudulent and not working. King County Regional Homeless Authority cannot account for millions of dollars that they will admit to. Could they be next?

@RepAdamSmith The housing 1st model is a proven failure and an avenue for fraud and grift. Are you saying you support that? Are you benefiting from the grift? I would like to know your answer.

King County could lose $26 million in federal homelessness funding because of callous Housing and Urban Development cuts from the Trump administration. This will significantly decrease affordable housing access and services for those who need it most. The people of Washington state need these funds to get people off the streets and in secure housing facilities. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…
