MASSIVE LIABILITY: Tuesday morning, another INFERNO at the King St. #Chinatown-ID homeless encampment. This is same @wsdot property that's now been scene of nearly a dozen fires this month alone.

TESTY EXCHANGE: As #Chinatown-ID fire was being put out Tuesday morning at King St. encampment, @KC_RHA, Lived Experience Coalition, and outreach workers were giving out food, supplies, and trying to help homeless get ID's across the street. All positive. But Roosevelt… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

NEW: Bellevue's Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus continues to be a cancer on the community.
On Sunday, a non-verbal Plymouth resident allegedly made terroristic threats.
He scribbled on the wall that he would shoot staff with a pistol and held a weapon in his hand.🧵👇

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1956430258120614276

Cops later determined the "weapon" was actually a lighter. They arrested him on the spot.
Witnesses say the man is Merrell James Gorham and is wheelchair bound. He is known for spitting and kicking people. He's also been trespassed at numerous area businesses. @PlymouthHousing

@PlymouthHousing This Bellevue homeless campus in the Eastgate neighborhood has turned into one of the most problematic hotspots in the city. It leads the entire city in 911 calls.
A homeless murder suspect with ties to Porchlight is still on the loose. @PorchLightCares

#BREAKING: Violent far-left activist Alex Randall has created a hit-list of what he calls “RIGHTWING GRIFTERS, Doxxers, and Harassers,” operating in Seattle. He posted it on his @Youtube page on Saturday but then took it down for some reason. Our spies did manage to get a copy and screen shot of the post.
Either way, the Nordstrom(@Nordstrom) employee went on unhinged rants about conservatives and encouraged his followers to target certain independent journalists.
🧵👇🏽

Making the list:

-Jonathan Choe(@choeshow)
-Matthew Adams(@jerkinyourchain)
-Cam Higby(@camhigby)
-Katie Daviscourt(@KatieDaviscourt)
-Brandi Kruse(@BrandiKruse)
-Chelly Bouferrache(@hunnybadgermom)
-Jessica McClure
-Mark Willams
-Stealth Productions
-Bennett Haselton

@jerkinyourchain @camhigby @KatieDaviscourt @BrandiKruse @hunnybadgermom Randall’s playbook is simple. He targets people he doesn’t like and just yells at them, hoping they cower in fear. He records his encounters and then posts them on @YouTube with unhinged hot takes. Rinse and repeat.

#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. 🧵👇🏽

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.”

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1760694309492260976

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.

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.”

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.

Higby says this man right here is the primary attacker and threw the punches. Let’s make him famous. @SeattlePD

#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.
🧵👇

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.
