Trump gave our away our health care funding as tax cuts to his billionaire backers. It's time for us to take it back.

The cost of childcare is rising as the wages for hardworking providers remain stuck at unsustainably low rates.

We can prevent further catastrophic cuts to childcare like the ones proposed by Gov. Ferguson by raising progressive revenue with solutions like the Millionaires Tax or wealth tax.
Here are real solutions to WA's child care crisis | Op-Ed
Fraud isn't the problem in the nation's child care system; it's unaffordability for parents and low wages for child care workers. Here's what lawmakers can do.

Happy 1st day of the 2026 #WALeg session!

Lawmakers have the chance to make real progress funding the essential services gutted by the MAGA Congress by rebalancing our tax code to make the wealthy few pay what they owe in taxes.

Fellow Washington State residents- doing this took just a couple of minutes! Please take a moment to tell our legislators that ICE must show their faces and identify themselves in WA! Share with friends and family in the state!

Billionaire bosses of wealthy corporations backed Trump because they hated having to pay working people more when labor was stronger under Biden.

They got what they wanted, and now the MAGA tariff agenda is raising costs and killing the job market.

It’s important that state & local officials are involved in investigating this shooting.
 
Under the Trump administration, DHS is nothing more than a miserable propaganda machine.
 
We need answers & accountability.
 
Our cities are not training grounds for trigger-happy DHS agents.

First Minneapolis, now Portland.

Democratic leaders from the city, state, and federal levels need to stand up and make it clear: the masked MAGA agents violating our rights, killing our neighbors, and disappearing our friends WILL be held accountable for their actions.

Make ICE fear our justice.

We stand with Somali childcare providers who are being harassed at their homes & childcare businesses by MAGA GOP lackeys who have no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Showing up at someone’s door and demanding to take photos of children is harassment & dangerous. We will defend our Somali neighbors.

BREAKING: I support a Millionaires’ Tax on income over $1 million a year.

The fairness of our tax system ranks 50th. Let’s make this historic change this session.

This is a separate proposal from the budget I announced today — revenue would not be realized until 2029.

Trump flew on Epstein's plane "many more times than previously has been reported" - at least eight times from 1993 to 1996 - according to documents in the latest Epstein files release.

Hey, @governorferguson.bsky.social @atg.wa.gov, how do we go about getting this here in WA state?
#WALeg should follow Illinois' lead in the 2026 session & pass similar laws to:

- Ban civil immigration arrests at or near courthouses
- Limit data sharing with ICE and raids on schools & hospitals
- Give regular people the right to sue federal agencies for unlawful arrests/civil rights violations

The same MAGA GOP fighting the release of the Epstein files are also fighting to pass laws giving them control over vulnerable children.

It's no coincidence these weirdos want to require kids to undergo genital checks to play school sports.
