May 22

A major political scandal brewing in Washington state. The head of our elections, a Democrat, says the leading Democrat in the race for governor, AG Bob Ferguson, directed him to violate the law: "I was surprised he was asking me to do something that I clearly cannot do."

Not only did Ferguson make this request during a press conference, but his attorney put it in writing. Here is the pertinent portion of a May 13 letter to Hobbs. Hobbs told the @WAStateStandard today that a "first year law student" would have known this was against the law.

While Hobbs is supporting moderate Democrat @electmullet in the race, he told the Standard that has no bearing on what the law allows him to do. Even more puzzling, Ferguson is suggesting Hobbs – who literally runs the election system – simply doesn’t understand election law.

🧵Anti-Jewish animus strikes again. This morning just after midnight, the State House was set to vote on a bill that would improve Holocaust education in public schools. The bill had already passed unanimously out of committee, so no big deal. Right? RIGHT?

Except Rep. Emily Alvarado (D) dropped an amendment out of nowhere that R's weren't prepared to debate on (very out of line with procedure). The amendment is an exercise in Holocaust whataboutism:
lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-…

The amendment argues the state must also "meaningfully" teach about other communities that "have lived experiences of surviving, being made refugee by, or otherwise being directly impacted by genocide."

HAPPENING NOW: This woman just crossed out a page of voter signatures at the Issaquah Costco, which is a gross misdemeanor. This comes amid Democrat-backed effort to harass and intimidate Let’s Go WA signature gatherers (black marks mine to protect voter info).🧵

The signature gatherer tells me he chased the woman as she ran inside and hid behind a Costco employee. He admits that he shouted at her. Costco called Issaquah police … on the signature gatherers. 🧵

The signature gatherers decided to pack up and leave. @IssaquahPolice spoke to them briefly (could not hear conversation). Not clear whether Costco will help police identify the woman who crossed out signatures. 🧵

@seanrobinson1e4

🧵If you need evidence of how truly insane government can be, look no further than this story from @seanrobinson1e4 of the @thenewstribune. Allow me to vent for a moment about some of the details ... thenewstribune.com/news/local/art…

The state of Washington knowingly hired Mark James, a 22-time felon, to work with vulnerable patients at Western State Hospital. "Well," you might argue, "everyone deserves a second chance!" And I agree - however ...

@seanrobinson1e4

As @seanrobinson1e4 reported, James was hired just 13 DAYS after being booked on a fugitive warrant and 6 DAYS after being booked on new felony charges. And not only that...

@RepJesseJohnson

The chief architect of Washington's controversial police pursuit law – @RepJesseJohnson – joined #unDivided for a lengthy discussion about crime and whether his bill had unintended consequences. WATCH: patreon.com/posts/un-divid…

Johnson and I also discussed his criticism of those who have pushed back against the bill – including some Democrats.

He also suggests law enforcement speaking out against the bill is a byproduct of "some police" being angry because "they can't go around killing people."

THREAD: Seattle doesn't have enough detectives to investigate RAPES. To blame anyone other than Democrats is media malpractice.

@SeattleTimes

Even worse than that? The @SeattleTimes gave Progressives who are responsible for the police exodus a platform to complain about the lack of detectives like it's not their fault - I shit you not.

Meanwhile, voices of Republicans who warned about all of this are completely absent from the article. Go ahead, convince me the press isn't irreparably broken. I'll wait.
