Another victory for voting justice, just in time for July Fourth: Jim Walsh’s IP26-500 voter elimination scheme fails to qualify
Walsh's initiative sought to force Washington's thirty-nine counties to carry out a mass purge of the voter rolls before the 2027 general election. Despite using party resources for promotion, Walsh couldn't gather enough signatures by the July 2nd due date. He was left to watch as Brian Heywood submitted signatures for a measure to overturn the million-dollar earners tax while his own measure died.

Sense narrowly prevails at SCOTUS as Roberts, Barrett, and the liberals uphold birthright citizenship over right wing dissents
On June 30th, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment in a split decision, affirming that children born in the U.S. are citizens, whether or not their parents have citizenship or not. The ruling hopefully has the effect of ending Donald Trump's attempts to overturn this sacred constitutional guarantee.

VICTORY! Democracy wins, authoritarians lose as laws allowing postmarked ballots to count are upheld in SCOTUS stunner
In the case of Watson v. Republican National Committee, the Court's six member right wing bloc splintered. Two of the bloc joined with the liberals to hold that the federal election-day statutes (3 U. S. C. §1, 2 U. S. C. §§ 1, 7) "do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by election day but received up to five days thereafter; nothing in the federal election-day statutes requires ballots to be received by election day." This means Washington, Oregon, and other states can keep counting ballots with a timely postmark that are delivered after Election Day. VICTORY!

Sorry, Dave, you can’t do that: Federal judge protects vote-at-home, state voter rolls from Trump and his Postmaster General
A federal judge in Massachusetts has halted Donald Trump's efforts to control mail-in voting by enjoining the U.S. Postal Service from refusing to mail ballots if states don't give their voter rolls to his regime. The ruling emphasized that states have the constitutional authority to manage elections, and overturned several sections of Trump's executive order deemed unconstitutional and void.

Continued revenue reform is necessary to responsibly “reboot” Washington’s budget: Read NPI’s letter in The Seattle Times
After decades of inaction, Washington's Legislature has finally taken meaningful steps to modernize the state's antiquated, upside down tax code and require the wealthy to pay what they owe. But the job's not done. There's more to do -- and doing it will also allow us to address another looming revenue shortfall responsibly and thoughtfully.
