    HAPPENING NOW: What an absolute disgrace and public safety crisis unfolding outside Seattle's Dr. Jose Rizal Park. I watched more than 20 Beacon Hill International Elementary School kids dodge fentanyl foil and homeless drug addicts as they walked home Monday afternoon. One parent says Seattle Public Schools refuses to provide school buses since they are dealing with a budget crisis. Meanwhile, less than a week after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson announced her new plan to address homelessness, her streets are covered with service resistant drug addicts because they are all refusing shelter and services. @MayorofSeattle|@SeaPubSchools

    RT @mazemoore: Robert Reich in 2025: Trump is a fascist dictator for even suggesting that a company be taken over by the government and for telling a CEO what to do. Robert Reich in 2026: SpaceX and Starlink must be taken over by the government. Small man, giant fraud.

    Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse. This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis. Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive. Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price. @mitch4portland @pnwpolicyangel @TeacherTiff4PDX @kanalforpdx @MayorKWilson

    NEW: Seattle's recovery community is blasting back after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson unveiled her new homelessness strategy last week. Art Dahlen of Battlefield Addiction says Wilson's plan will fail because she's trying to build her way out of a fentanyl crisis instead of focusing on treatment and recovery first. Dahlen says it's more of the same Housing First policies that have led to disastrous results on the streets. Meanwhile, the fallout continues for Downtown Seattle Association CEO Jon Scholes after he claimed being service resistant is a myth. The recovery community says Scholes' credibility is shot. 🧵👇 @MayorofSeattle|@downtownseattle

    Dahlen also says Wilson's lineup of providers are all the same players from the region's homeless industrial complex that presided over the street crisis for the past decade. Not a single provider from the treatment and recovery community.

    UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! "The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that." That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire. Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies": "No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently." "You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."

    NEW: Families dealing with Seattle’s fentanyl crisis are slamming Mayor Katie Wilson and Downtown Seattle Association CEO Jon Scholes for their new plan to combat homelessness, saying it will put more lives at risk. Battlefield Addiction founder Art Dahlen calls Wilson’s failure to understand or address the fentanyl crisis “extremely negligent” and demands an apology from Scholes for dismissing service-resistant people as a “myth,” during a press conference last week “We have parents begging their sons or daughters to get medical attention, go to detox and treatment, or just come home.” “Mr. Scholes, what you call a myth is our reality.” Dahlen says Wilson’s homelessness plan “denies or ignores that fentanyl is a major cause of what’s occurring on the streets of Seattle.” “The people addicted to fentanyl need detox and medical services. Our families need to hear Mayor Wilson’s plan to make that happen.” “As a city and state, if we don’t separate these two conversations, we will continue to put more lives at risk.”

    EXCLUSIVE: I spent several years following Alex through a constellation of taxpayer funded homeless housing facilities in Seattle. He eventually settled in the Downtown Emergency Service Center's North Star. DESC is the poster child for "Housing First" in WA. Politicians and far-left activists will also refer to this model as low barrier permanent supportive housing. Alex showed me what he does all day: -Wakes up -Get's free drug supplies at front desk -Takes bus to find his fentanyl dealer -Comes back to his room in the North Star -Smokes drugs all day -Zero requirements to get into addiction treatment -Zero requirements to find a job -He rarely sees his DESC case manager -Alex admits he has no purpose in life -Rinse and repeat After more than a decade of trying this failed public policy, the Trump administration is defunding "Housing First" and reallocating the money into treatment and recovery providers. The homeless industrial complex is shook and now fear mongering, claiming more people will be forced onto the streets. That's a lie. In response, WA Democrats have taken the bait from Homeless INC and are trying to prop up this failed model by potentially raising taxes to offset funding losses. This is a scandal. 🧵👇

    NEW: Court documents show the Seattle woman accused of behaving like a cannibal lived in one of the the most crime-ridden homeless housing facilities in the city. Yet somehow the Downtown Emergency Service Center continues to get a pass for all the bad behavior and chaos caused by its unhinged residents. How come? In this Discovery Institute investigation, we scrutinized DESC's powerful connections to WA politics and examined how a network of power brokers in the region appear to be running cover for this controversial organization.
