Expands Working Families Tax Credit 👍 Supports small businesses 👍 Pours into child care + schools & helps costs of household items 👍 The #MillionairesTax is a FIRST for WA. As we await for the Gov to sign the bill into law, we urge him to keep the bill’s critical wins to maximize support for WA

"I argue that what we’re witnessing isn’t a singular breakdown, but discrete and cascading layers of 'media capture' that produce censorship, exclusion, and democratic failure."

"A strong economy is not measured by stock prices...but by whether a parent can afford childcare, or a a teacher can stay in their classroom...by whether opportunity feels within reach." 💚 #PasstheMillionairesTax #WALeg @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social

In a big victory for WA + a once in a generation move for #taxjustice, we were thrilled to witness the #MillionairesTax pass out of the #WaLeg Senate. Every WA resident, no matter their background, deserves quality schools, accessible health care, & affordable childcare. #EconomicJustice

Basically, what's happening is this: Democrats have been given a potential legislative weapon against Trump. This scares them, because they know their base expects them to use it. So they're trying to find a way to lose it in the weeds without the base noticing.
