A 24-hour House floor battle over Senate Bill 6346 ends with a narrow 51-46 vote creating Washington's first 9.9% state income tax on income above $1 million, drawing sharp criticism from Reps. Stephanie McClintock and John Ley. Hear why House Republicans warn of economic fallout, general fund spending, and constitutional challenges to the new tax. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/18th-district-reps-stephanie-mcclintock-and-john-ley-denounce-passage-of-state-income-tax/ #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #StephanieMcClintock #JohnLey #WAPolitics #TaxPolicy #StateLegislature #GeneralFund #SmallBusiness #Economy

After more than 24 hours of floor debate on Senate Bill 6346, Reps. Kevin Waters and David Stuebe say House Democrats pushed through a new state income tax that ignores Washington's regressive tax structure and affordability crisis. Hear why they argue the bill lacks taxpayer safeguards, sends revenue into the general fund without real reform, and could eventually grow into an income tax that touches every family. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/17th-district-lawmakers-kevin-waters-and-david-stuebe-decry-passage-of-state-income-tax-bill-after-marathon-floor-debate/ #WashingtonState #KevinWaters #DavidStuebe #IncomeTax #WALeg #TaxPolicy #WorkingFamilies #GeneralFund #AffordabilityCrisis #WAPolitics

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we continue to analyze the insanity on the left by pointing out the the many politicians over time that have become more of a celebrity than a politician. From Bill Clinton on The Arsenio Hall to Sarah Palin on SNL, they set themselves up to become a mockery to their party. Also a new imposed tax on millionaires in Washington State and a 10% tax hike on professional athletes in other states as well.

Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history through his unique perspective on the mafia. In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins welcomes an unusual guest from the world of organized crime storytelling—cartoonist Brett Juliano, creator of the Dust Bunny Mafia comic series. Instead of traditional books or documentaries, Brett tells real Mafia stories through short, three-panel comics featuring his unique cartoon characters while staying grounded in historical research and documented sources. Brett explains how his lifelong interest in animation and storytelling evolved into a project that blends true crime history with visual humor and commentary. After moving to Chicago, he became fascinated with the city's underworld history and began transforming real mob stories into illustrated comic strips that challenge Hollywood myths and highlight lesser-known facts about organized crime. His work draws on true crime books, FBI files, court transcripts, and podcasts, including Gangland Wire itself. Each comic strip distills a real historical moment into a visual gag or ironic twist that reveals the strange reality behind mob legends. Gary and Brett discuss several Dust Bunny Mafia comics and the real events behind them: The “Sicilian Flu” Courtroom Act A humorous look at a tactic sometimes used by mob figures: appearing frail in court to gain sympathy or delay proceedings. Wiseguys who were partying the night before might suddenly appear in a wheelchair, wrapped in blankets or hooked to oxygen tanks when they walked into court. Lucky Luciano and the Myth of “Lucky” Brett examines the legendary story that Charles “Lucky” Luciano got his nickname after surviving a brutal kidnapping and beating. His comic plays with the idea that mobsters often exaggerated their own legends—especially when trying to impress people. The Kansas City Mob Search – Carl “Tuffy” DeLuna One comic comes directly from Gary Jenkins' own experience investigating the Kansas City mob. When police searched DeLuna's home in 1979, the mobster calmly offered coffee and eventually led investigators straight to the basement, where incriminating notes were stored. The scene shows how, sometimes, the truth of organized crime investigations is stranger than fiction. Bugsy Siegel in Rainy Portland Another comic explores the obscure story of Bugsy Siegel visiting Portland to meet local crime boss Al Winters, only to endure two straight weeks of rain—highlighting the contrast between Hollywood-style mob glamour and the less glamorous reality of underworld negotiations. A New Graphic Anthology on Kickstarter Brett is now launching a major new collection of his comics titled: “Family Business: An Offer You Can't Refuse.” The book will include: 130+ pages of full-color comics More than 230 true crime strips Historical commentary explaining the real story behind each comic Additional artwork parodying mob businesses and underworld culture The project will be funded through a Kickstarter campaign beginning March 24, with the finished book expected to ship later in the year once printing is completed.

Synopsis:  What happens when the President threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act? Two leading voices weigh in on how Congress, veterans, and citizens can push back against rising militarization. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description [original air-date November 2025]:  The U.S. military is sworn to serve the Constitution, but that's getting complicated under Donald Trump. The President has deployed National Guard troops to half a dozen U.S. cities against the wishes of local officials and ICE agents are roaming around communities acting under unclear rules. Now the President is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. What difference would that make? Laura's guests are U.S. House Representative Pramila Jayapal and Marine veteran Janessa Goldbeck, who say it's time to reject authoritarianism and uphold the Constitution. Congresswoman Jayapal is the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and represents Washington State's 7th Congressional District. She has been at the forefront of congressional oversight and opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policies. Captain Goldbeck is CEO of Vet Voice, a national nonprofit that mobilizes veterans and military families to shape American democracy and defend the values they swore to protect. What can Congress, veterans and the general public do to stop the militarization of our cities? Join us for this powerful conversation, plus a commentary on the other times that the U.S. government has turned its military inward. Note: This conversation took place prior to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in MN] “What we're seeing now is the president attempting to reshape the U.S. military into a tool of his own domestic political control . . . And then to deploy uniformed service members and the National Guard across the country against the wishes of local elected leaders . . . I feel a lot of sadness and frustration on behalf of those who are serving in uniform today who are being put into this very partisan political position by the United States president.” - Janessa Goldbeck “What law enforcement should be doing — of any kind, whether it's ICE, National Guard, whoever — is trying to deescalate. What we clearly see this set of military actors doing is escalate, right? When you crack down brutally, when you shoot a rubber bullet at a faith leader in Chicago, or when you violently push someone down to the ground, who by the way happens to be the father of three U.S. Marines . . . I think that is really an attempt to suppress any kind of dissent.” - Rep. Pramila Jayapal Guests: •  Captain Janessa Goldbeck: Marine Corps Veteran; CEO, Vet Voice Foundation •  Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal: D-WA, 7th Congressional District Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Episode 315 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck goes from a Vancouver City Hall apology tour to the end of daylight saving time to an actual war breaking out in the Middle East.Here's what's inside:

Alyssa Liu would give absolutely no advice to her younger self. Just let herself ride it out just like she did. Producer Sophia, Producer Justin, Anna & Raven all give their advice. Its Pick em' news! 3 headlines, Raven can only hear one story. Today's headlines are... Mayhem and destruction at a fast-food drive-thru, missing man found over a week later trapped in shoulder deep mud, callers to Washington State hotline press 2 for Spanish get accented ai English instead. What will he choose?  Uber now calls for you to make 37 decisions before you can just call a ride. Music or no music? Speaking or silent rides? Anna and Raven discuss getting an uber these days after Anna confesses, she is worried to speak and come off as high maintenance. Is seat divorce a real thing? Couples are booking the same row- but an aisle eat and a window seat... leaving a stranger between them. This supposedly leaves space and individuality. Does anyone agree with this?

In this episode, Jonathan and Wendy examine the growing instability inside U.S. public health institutions and how political battles, misinformation, and shifting leadership are reshaping the national conversation around vaccines and infectious disease. They are joined by Jeff Kunzler, creator of the Pandemic Accountability Index, a project that tracks misinformation and public commentary related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, they unpack rising measles cases, the evolving political influence on public health agencies, and the broader cultural battle over how the pandemic will be remembered. The conversation explores how misinformation spreads, how public trust has shifted since COVID-19, and what the future may hold for American public health policy. Guest Bio Jeff Kunzler is the creator of the Pandemic Accountability Index, a project that tracks misinformation and public statements related to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health policy. Raised in Washington State's Skagit Valley, Jeff later worked in the advertising industry as a graphic designer, copywriter, and photographer. During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, he began compiling medical research, public commentary, and social media statements related to pandemic narratives. That work eventually developed into the Pandemic Accountability Index, which aims to document how influential figures shaped public health discourse during the pandemic.   Resources Pandemic Accountability Index https://pandemicindex.substack.com  Science Based Medicine https://sciencebasedmedicine.org   Connect with us further on https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/author/jonathanhoward/  The Fine Print The content presented in the "We Want Them Infected" Podcast and associated book is intended for informational and educational purposes only.  The views and opinions expressed by the speakers, hosts, and guests on the podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the creators, producers, or distributors.

After a few days of being here & not being here…we're both back this morning to get you over the hump on Workforce Wednesday with some freebies from GameDay Men's Health! Brian was in the Twin Cities on Monday night and recapped his experience at the Bad Omens/Beartooth/President show. In the news this morning, the legendary Bruce Campbell has cancer, Washington State is apparently pre-banning "forced employee microchips", a new trend at bars & restaurants is bone-broth cocktails, and the fast-food burger wars heats up again with the CEOs of Burger King & McDonald's taste-testing their new offerings. In sports, the Bucks & Badgers play tonight, an update on AJ Allmendinger, and Jurickson Profar gets ANOTHER suspension. Elsewhere in sports, the Atlanta Falcons are going to play in Madrid next season, the Pittsburgh women's basketball coach gets canned, a new LED court makes it's debut in the Big 12, and an NBA player disagrees with the upcoming "Magic City Monday" promotion. Because we were both off yesterday, we decided to get Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show on the phone this morning! We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and also talked about what's new on DVD this week. Plus, a celebrity version of "Squid Game" is apparently coming to Netflix. Today is "National Grammar Day" and it's also "Discover What Your Name Means Day"…so we looked that up. Got an update on Punch the monkey, and a heart-warming story about a guy who's battling cancer that recently got a very nice surprise. According to a new survey, the average woman spends $1,600 every year on "wellness", so we tried to figure out if Jean spent the same amount(she didn't) And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who got a DUI while taking his driving test, a brawl in the drive-thru of a Wendy's, a dude who allegedly had a brain hemorrhage after playing video games for 4 days & three nights, and a serial donut shop robber in California.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

OpenAI's Pentagon Backlash, Microsoft's "MicroSlop" Filter, Apple M5 MacBook Pro Price Hikes, and Washington's Microchip Ban Jim Love covers backlash to OpenAI's rapid Pentagon deal announcement, with Sam Altman admitting it looked opportunistic as ChatGPT uninstall rates and one-star reviews spiked while Anthropic's Claude gained installs; OpenAI then revised contract language to state its AI won't intentionally be used for mass domestic surveillance or by agencies like the NSA without separate approval. He also discusses reports that Microsoft's Copilot Discord filtered the term "MicroSlop," prompting user workarounds and a server lockdown that Microsoft said was an anti-spam measure. Apple's new M5 MacBook Pro lineup adds higher default storage, claims faster internal storage and ~20% GPU gains, but raises prices and introduces a pricier Studio Display XDR with optional nano-texture.

Pastor/State Rep. Nate Schatzline brings a prophetic challenge to Grace City Church: embrace the wilderness, kill the normal, and live with holy consistency in both “locusts and honey.” From Matthew 3, he calls the church to be a bold, consecrated movement that prepares the way for the Lord and refuses to grow familiar with God's presence. The message culminates in a historic commissioning announcement that you won't want to miss. Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

The statistics are stark: there's a 68% chance any American will need long-term care at some point, and for couples, that number jumps to nearly 90%. Yet most families never have the conversation until a health event forces their hand.In this episode, Hans sits down with Travis McBride — fellow Navy helicopter pilot turned insurance strategist — to break down everything you need to know about long-term care planning.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 02:35 – Travis's background04:50 – What the brokerage does and who they serve 13:40 – Long-term care 101: statistics and why it matters 16:45 – The three ways to fund long-term care 17:20 – Traditional LTCI: how it works and the use-it-or-lose-it problem 18:50 – How carriers mispriced policies in the 90s and 2000s 24:10 – The premium increase trap: stuck and uninsurable 25:20 – Are the premiums guaranteed? 35:05 – Life insurance with an LTC rider38:50 – The six activities of daily living explained 43:05 – Hybrid/asset-based policies: repositioning vs. spending 45:15 – How leverage works inside a hybrid policy 52:30 – Reimbursement vs. cash indemnity55:45 – Who should be thinking about this and when 1:01:25 – What Medicare actually covers and what it doesn't 1:07:15 – The Washington State payroll tax 1:16:25 – How to connect with Travis Key Takeaways:Ask one question before signing anything: are the premiums guaranteed? Traditional long-term care policies were mispriced in the 90s and early 2000s, and carriers have been sending premium increase notices ever since. Know how your benefits are paid before you need them. Reimbursement policies require receipts and ongoing claims filings every month. Cash indemnity policies cut you a check once you qualify and let you use it however you want.Self-insuring isn't insurance — it's just liquidation. Having enough assets to cover a long-term care event sounds like a plan until you run the math. A nursing facility in Southern California runs $6,000 to $15,000 a month, and that's today's cost. Hybrid policies reposition assets — they don't just spend them. Unlike traditional LTCI where premiums vanish if you never file a claim, hybrid linked-benefit policies give you liquidity, control, and a residual death benefit. The best time to have this conversation is before someone needs to. The sweet spot for getting coverage is 45 to 60, when you're still healthy enough to qualify and premiums haven't become prohibitive. By 65, you're entering the game late.

Washington State is considering a new 'Millionaires Tax,' and a hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. The proposed tax has raised concerns about its potential impact on professional sports teams like the Seattle Seahawks and the possibility of losing the NBA's SuperSonics again. Supporters argue it will generate revenue for essential services, while critics fear it could drive high-income earners and businesses out of the state, ultimately harming the economy. Chris Daniels from KOMO News reports on the debate and the potential consequences for Washington's economy and sports scene. Will this tax help the state, or will it send millionaires packing? We break down the arguments from both sides.

In the second episode of our Latino Forestry Workforce series, guest host Gaby Eseverri speaks with Manuel Machado, who is the Natural Resource Workforce Program Coordinator for the Oregon State University Extension Program. This episode was made possible with support from Rivershed SPC, and we are immensely grateful for their help in making this series happen.  Manuel works with community-based organizations across the Pacific Northwest to develop bilingual learner-centric educational materials for H-2B and immigrant forestry sector workers, while developing programming that raises awareness of the labor-intensive forest workforce. His work aims to make this work safer and more equitable, particularly through engagement with the Latine forestry workforce in Oregon. Gaby Eseverri is a journalist based in Missoula, Montana, and originally from Miami. In addition to print journalism, she also helps produce Glacier National Park's Headwaters Podcast, which we highly recommend you check out.  In this episode, Gaby and Manuel spoke about the Latine forestry workforce in the Pacific Northwest, including the workforce's history, how H-2B and immigrant status contributes to a culture of exploitation rooted in a fear of deportation, as well as the nature of forestry and fire work. Gaby and Manuel also discuss the physical, economic and systemic risks faced by this workforce, and how the model and increasing demand for forest resilience work—which includes post-fire restoration, thinning/wildfire risk reduction, and other essential forestry tasks—relies heavily on often underpaid and easily-exploited H-2B and immigrant workers.  Please note that we will be releasing a third and final episode on this topic in a few days. This final episode—also hosted by Gaby with guest Manuel— will be published in Spanish, and will focus more on the resources, training and educational materials Manuel has created and made available for the Latine workforce on Oregon and beyond.  Another note: This episode was recorded in November 2025, just a few months after the incident in Washington State when two wildland firefighters were detained by Border Patrol on an active wildfire. More information about this incident can be found at the links below.  https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/08/30/immigration-raid-at-washington-blaze-stokes-fear-in-wildfire-crews-nationwide/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-agents-arrest-fire-crew-members-washington-wildfire-rcna227797   A few highlights from the conversation (full transcript can be found here):  "So a lot of the work that the Latine workforce is involved in what land management agencies refer to as forestry services. So this includes everything from planting work, hazardous fuels reduction work, tree thinning, forest restoration, pesticide application. Also, increasingly they're doing more work in fire suppression. So working on the fire line, much of that labor intensive work." "Many of these contractors are based in Southern Oregon, and although they're based here in Medford, in the Rogue Valley, and they travel all over the Pacific Northwest and the US, the workers themselves are brought primarily from Mexico and increasingly from Guatemala and Central America as h-2b visa workers. So the amount of h-2b visa workers is increasing." "The way the forest service handles contracting often awards the lowest bidder, and although this does ensure a lower price per acre, often means that the workers don't get paid as much as I believe they deserve." "With undocumented workers, you know there's that added layer of vulnerability, because they face deportation, and although they can change employers because they have specified documents which allow them that flexibility to change employers, if the employer, at any time, finds out that they are documented, they face that added risk of using that as a threat against them. Given the policies that we're seeing, there's likely to be an increase in labor violations and just less enforcement due to these policies we're seeing under the Trump administration." "It's really just an entire system that's turned on them at a time when I think their work so important, right? They are literally the ones planting trees after fire, or the ones who are fighting fire, the ones who are implementing those treatments that reduce fire risk and restore our forests." "I think a good example (of something actionable) could be for firefighters. We often hear them advocating for better pay and working conditions…but it's important for them to understand that, you know, if an increasing portion of the firefighting workforce is reliant on h-2b visa workers that don't have the same rights, well, then what can they do to build solidarity with those H-2b visa workers? A rising tide will lift all boats, so they have to really consider all of these different segments of the workforce if they want to be more effective at actively bargaining for those working conditions and better pay." "So I always ask the workers themselves, what's something that you would like the general public or policymakers or decision makers to know? What would you tell them, if you had the opportunity to speak with them? The most common responses that I've gotten is that they just want more for the important work that they do." 

On an April evening in 2017, a small single-engine plane disappeared into the mountains of Washington State.Somewhere near 5,000 feet on the snow-covered face of Mount Jupiter in Olympic National Park, metal met rock.A distress call cracked across the emergency frequency — faint, urgent, alive.High above the Pacific Northwest, a Delta flight en route from Seattle to Shanghai heard it. The pilots relayed the call. A Navy search-and-rescue crew lifted off from Whidbey Island in an MH-60 helicopter.By 6 p.m., rescuerson that ]steep, frozen, unforgiving.Two men were pulled from the wreckage. One of them was Mike Mequio. Mike was in serious condition. There was substantial damage to the plane. But that was just the beginning of this story. Sometimes the mountains that almost take your life become the very place that can give it back. Mike is a survivor. A man who faced a mountainside once in chaos and fear but chose to return to the mountains on purpose. Not in a cockpit.Not in an emergency.But step by step.Finding his Everest. This story is about survival, healing and rediscovering who you are when you choose to KEEP CLIMBING.

Deciding which breast reconstruction path to take is rarely simple. Whether facing an active breast cancer diagnosis, navigating a high‑risk genetic mutation, or having a strong family history of cancer, the process demands research, planning, trust, and a strong circle of support. In this episode of the DiepCJourney® podcast, we sit down with Marcy Goodman who is a wife, mother, and dedicated professional. She opens up about the many layers of her decision to pursue autologous (using her own tissue) breast reconstruction. Marcy shares how she evaluated her options, found the right surgical team, and ultimately traveled from Washington State to PRMA in Texas to receive the care she felt aligned with her needs and values. She walks us through the logistics that so many patients quietly shoulder: arranging time away from work, securing childcare, and finding a safe, restorative place to heal like Rose's House in San Antonio, which became her sanctuary during recovery. With honesty and warmth, Marcy reflects on the physical and emotional journey that shaped her choice, offering insights, tips, and encouragement for anyone navigating their own reconstruction decisions. Her story is a reminder that while the path can be overwhelming, no one has to walk it alone.

What happens when the process meant to deliver justice becomes part of the problem?Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, author of Radical Reparations and professor at UCLA, was denied even the chance to compete for Washington State's groundbreaking reparations study—not because his proposal wasn't strong enough, but because it allegedly got lost in malware. No portal. No receipt. No accountability. And when he pushed back, he was denied a required debriefing—twice.Dr. Hunter breaks down what went wrong in Washington, why it matters for every state considering reparations, and what we all need to do right now. They discuss the Department of Commerce's troubling patterns, the role of Attorney General Nick Brown, and why legendary economist Dr. William Darity was also shut out."Reparations is sacred work," Dr. Hunter reminds us, "and if the process is not governed with integrity, the repair cannot and will not be trusted." This episode is a call to action.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Lauren Rogers, investor relations and acquisitions lead at Veritas Equity Partners. Lauren shares how she transitioned from a high-level career in global tech to multifamily real estate and why she chose to partner with an experienced operator instead of starting with small, hands-on deals. Drawing from Veritas' focused strategy in Washington State, she explains how their tight buy box, workforce housing thesis, and in-house property management approach create consistent, risk-adjusted returns. Lauren and Jonathan explore the realities of value-add investing in Snohomish County, why geographic discipline matters more than chasing hot markets, and how exterior improvements, operational efficiencies, and local relationships can meaningfully impact NOI. They also discuss the mindset shift required to move from active DIY investing to passive syndication, especially for high-income professionals seeking long-term wealth and cash flow. Listeners will gain insight into how syndications actually work behind the scenes—from underwriting and leverage to investor communication and trust—and why forced holding periods and conservative debt structures can protect capital over time. In this episode, you will hear: Why Lauren left global tech to build a career in multifamily real estate How Veritas defines its 20–60 unit workforce housing buy box The importance of focusing hyper-locally within Snohomish County How in-house property management can improve NOI and operational control The difference between active ownership and truly passive syndication investing Common fears new investors have about multifamily syndications Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

State attorneys general are taking a more active role in merger control, with Colorado and Washington leading the way on new "mini-HSR" notification regimes. What do these new state pre-merger filing laws require, and how should companies and practitioners navigate them alongside the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act?
