The MAGA regime and WA GOP both want to take away our freedoms to vote & have our votes counted so that they can rule over us like dictators.

They're attacking our secure vote by mail system not because there's anything wrong with it, but precisely because it works. They can only win if they cheat.

This is a map of every WA ballot that was rejected due to late postmarking by the USPS in the 2026 primary, 32% higher than in 2024.

Voting experts and WA Dems are warning that Trump's attacks on our freedom to vote include making the USPS unreliable to block us from casting our ballots. They're asking everyone to vote as early as possible, and if not, to use ballot drop boxes instead: https://washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/09/02/uncounted-late-ballots-jump-in-wa-as-fears-of-postal-service-delays-intensify/

The Seattle Times Editorial Board recommends voting NO on Brian Heywood's initiative I-638.

They correctly note that this initiative would force invasive medical inspections on girls as young as 12, all just to humiliate and attack a small number of trans kids in our state.

Trump's tariffs like the ones on Washington's closest trading partner Canada, will cost American families an additional $1,100 annually. This is on top of the increased costs for healthcare and medicine backed by Trump's lackeys Mike Baumgartner and John Braun.

Vote to lower your bills this November by voting to reject Baumgartner and Braun.

WASHINGTON — A developing trade war with Canada could bite Republicans ahead of the upcoming midterm elections as voters worry about rising prices and industries in states with competitive races could suffer.

The MAGA regime and WA GOP both want to take away our freedoms to vote and have our votes counted so that they can rule over us like dictators.

They're attacking our secure vote by mail system not because there's anything wrong with it, but precisely because it works. They know their wars raising our costs and masked agents abducting our neighbors are so unpopular that they can't win if we use our voices, so they want to destroy our democracy instead.

US senator says that project, a key part of Trump’s voting restrictions, is ‘perilously rushed and potentially unlawful’

Families in WA are struggling to pay for food, housing, and healthcare, but none of California hedge fund manager Brian Heywood's initiatives help solve those problems. Instead, they give tax cuts to the wealthy, put LGBTQ kids in danger, and force invasive ge***al exams on all girls who want to play sports.

Vote no on all 3 initiatives. NO on I-645 No Hate in WA State

Brian Heywood and his backers' failed attempts to hide the impact of their disastrous initiatives on working families has backfired to spectacularly that they're now suing each other. All while blaming each other for failing to keep voters in the dark about how much funding our schools would lose if their massive tax cut for the wealthy few goes through.

A Washington state lawmaker who leads the state Republican Party has been sued for defamation over a series of social media posts.

Moises is now free after our friend and super lawyer Bart Klein got him out after a month in ICE's Tacoma jail
