Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Campaign ads urging voters to repeal Washington's new tax argue it puts the pensions of teachers and firefighters at risk — even though none of those employees currently make $1 million a year in public pension benefits. #waleg #waelex

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Washington State Democrats@wadems.org

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

rangemedia.coMeasure to require "biological sex" verification for all WA girls’ sports athletes on November ballotIf passed, the hedgefund-millionaire-backed ballot measure would enact one of the nation’s strictest examination requirements for girls’ athletics.
