Concentration camps. In the U.S.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

It is conventional wisdom that the Washington Post's current death spiral and was caused by the Harris endorsement fiasco. I actually think it was these endorsements in January 2025.

I will not support an income tax for people who make less than $1 million in a year.
Less than one half of one percent of Washingtonians will pay the Millionaires’ Tax, and it will raise at least $3 billion each year. It’s time to change our state’s upside-down tax system.

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.
