Trump and his puppet’s Medicaid work requirements won’t help people find jobs. Instead, they’ll bury them in paperwork just so they won’t lose their health care. Millions of Americans could lose coverage simply because they missed a reporting deadline or couldn’t secure an exemption.

WA has blocked federal immigration agencies from accessing our driver database more than 100k times. Yet, ICE and CBP are still able to find loopholes to target and arrest immigrants. Our driver’s license and license plate should NEVER be used as a tool for Trump-Vance’s mass deportation agenda.
Wildfire smoke is drifting into Western WA, bringing hazy skies and unhealthy air through midweek. Let’s help one another. Limit strenuous outdoor activities, check on children, older adults, and neighbors with heart or respiratory conditions. Stay safe and monitor local air quality updates.

Brian Heywood, the guy behind MAGA initiatives in WA, is wading into a Democratic primary election hoping his big money can stop the ultra-wealthy from having to pay their fair share. Something many well-off folks in Seattle aren’t even asking for.
Wildfires are devastating communities in Spokane, across WA, forcing families to evacuate. Leaving many in need of food, shelter, supplies, and some even long-term support. As firefighters and first responders work tirelessly to keep our communities safe, please consider helping all those affected.

Trump and his Republican cronies allowed ACA subsidies to expire. Now, more than 26,000 Washingtonians have lost their health coverage. This was never inevitable. It was a choice Republicans made to make health care more expensive and less accessible for working families.
Obamacare enrollment declines in 49 states • Washington State Standard
