- Did the Democrats give their leverage away AGAIN?!?! WORTHLESS!
- Why we can't have nice things. Evil Taika Waititi over at Palantir is giving money to our Democrat representative like @adamsmith.house.gov to look the other way while they steal our info from the government using DOGE and Elon to use it to surveil us while they enrich themselves.
- They lied about shooting Alex Pretti. Now: "agents on leave" but no names provided. We're supposed to just... believe them? The same people who already lied? Without names, this is unverifiable. Given their track record, it's likely another lie.
- Rep Smith taking credit for Seattle's $155M housing investment he had zero involvement in. It's 100% city funding. City council. City mayor. He's a federal congressman attaching himself to local work.
- What Smith COULD do with his actual federal authority: - Abolish ICE after they murdered a U.S. citizen - Invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump - Fight for federal housing funding Stop the photo ops. Do your job.
- Tech millionaires calling 9.9% capital gains tax on multi-million dollar exits "catastrophic." Same millionaires already pay ZERO income tax in Washington. Let me show you the math they don't want you to see. 🧵 www.geekwire.com/2026/washing...
- Working family in Seattle making $75K/year: - Pays ~14% effective tax rate (sales, property, B&O pass-through) - Has been paying this rate for years - Gets zero exemptions Total annual tax: ~$10,500
- Tech founder selling company for $50M: - Paid $0 income tax during years building company - Gets 100% federal capital gains exemption (QSBS) - Would pay 9.9% state tax ONLY on amount over $250K Total tax on $50M: ~$4.9M (9.8% effective)

View full threadWhen millionaires call modest taxation on windfall profits "catastrophic", while working families pay higher rates on ordinary income, they're telling you exactly whose interests matter. Washington has the 2nd most regressive tax system in America. This is why.
