#EXCLUSIVE: Grandma of fentanyl addicted AXE wielding teen says she will be begging King County judge on Monday to hold him in juvenile detention until he gets FORCED treatment. No assurances judge listens to her pleas. #Seattle @MayorofSeattle
@wrong_speak @TuckerCarlson 🧵👇🏽
THANKING SPD: Ms. Daniels says @SeattlePD may have saved her grandson's life. I watched entire arrest go down. Two responding officers called for back up because Marcelles Orr would not go w/them peacefully. They handled him w/ extreme care. #Seattle
DOWNTOWN DISASTER: Meanwhile, encampment near #Seattle City Hall is thriving. Fentanyl, fights, stolen goods, runaway teens in tents. Still waiting for @MayorofSeattle +@CMAndrewJLewis for comment on how they get rid of this. @KC_RHA @GovInslee @kcexec
ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY: Orr's grandmother says he ran away from home and was living on the streets for weeks until she spotted him in my video last month. She wants this #Seattle City Hall camp closed immediately. There are other teens here! Insane.

ORR’S TIMELINE: King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office says Judge Nelson Lee followed WA state’s sentencing guidelines. Once again, these state laws continue to undercut wants+needs of desperate parents and guardians. @GovInslee @MayorofSeattle @kcexec #Seattle

#BREAKING: President Trump will sign an executive order that will start to defund and dismantle the failed Housing First policy that has led to record homelessness in America, especially in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, and LA.
I’m proud to say our research and journalism at Discovery Insitutute(@DiscoveryCWP) played a crucial role in this major development. 🧵👇🏽Image
Image
Sources in the White House also tell me the executive order will strip federal funding for “harm reduction” initiatives that have enabled record drug overdose deaths. This is a worst case scenario for needle exchanges and the “homeless industrial complex.” Image
No more federal funding for “permanent supportive housing.”
Instead, all that money will now be put toward short term shelters, addiction treatment, and detox.
This executive order undercuts the entire business models for places like DESC and Plymouth Housing.

NEW: WA Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal(@RepJayapal) just introduced a bill that allows homeless people to camp on federal land if they have no other options. This was simply political theater and won't go anywhere. Here's the real problem for Jayapal. 🧵👇
Despite billions of dollars spent over the years, Washington state has the third largest homeless population in America with more than 31K people living on the streets. That's likely an undercount. This is all happening under Jayapal's watch. Image
Part of the problem is her far-left progressive ideology. Here's what she recently told the Seattle Times: “Because I don’t think that homelessness is a failure of the individual,” she said. “I think it’s a failure of the system. I think it’s a failure of our policymaking.” Image

NEW: Saturday evening, independent journalist
@camhigby got ambushed and sucker-punched by an Antifa thug. So far no arrests.
Higby says he suffered a concussion. But it could have been far worse if he wasn't wearing a helmet and carrying pepper spray. 🧵👇
Higby says Antifa acolyte Tyler Hahn is the one who outed him in the crowd and physically pinned him to the ground. But Higby says another man is the one who threw the punches. Image
Image
Higby says this man right here is the primary attacker and threw the punches. Let’s make him famous. @SeattlePD Image

#BREAKING: Seattle restauranteur David Meinert says the massive Microsoft Build (@Microsoft) developer conference won't be returning to Seattle next year after attendees complained about urban decay, open-air drug use, and numerous tents lining the streets.
🧵👇 Image
Image
Meinert is also torching Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) for allowing these conditions to prosper in the downtown core and claims the Downtown Activation plan is bloated with bureaucracy and is lacking leadership. Image
Image
Pro-Hamas protesters also disrupted Microsoft Build 2025 in Seattle, harassing attendees with insane glitter bombs.

NEW: Hundreds of evangelical Christians will pack Seattle City Hall Tuesday evening (5pm) to demand an apology and resignation from Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle.)
Over the weekend, he called their concert an "extreme right-wing rally." 🧵👇
Instead of condemning the Antifa violence, the Mayor victim blamed the Christians and accused them of hosting their event at Cal Anderson Park to provoke the LGBTQ community. Here is the original release.
The Mayor lied. I have obtained an email showing the Christians actually wanted to host the concert at a park near Pike Place Market. The city suggested other options like Cal Anderson Park and then gave out the permit.

NEW: Earlier this month, the Trump administration released its Discretionary Budget and it significantly knee-caps America's failed Housing First approach to homelessness.
Which is why the "homeless industrial complex" is so scared and desperately trying to fight back.🧵👇 Image
Image
The Budget consolidates several homelessness programs under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Billions of dollars will be re-allocated to short-and medium term housing, hopefully incentivizing people to get their lives in order and get off the streets. Image
Local initiatives like "permanent supportive housing" in Seattle and Single Room Occupancy hotels in San Francisco could be getting cut-off. The focus will also be on enhancing shelters and getting people into housing that actually requires drug treatment. Image
