The WA democrats hate poor people so much they just raised the cost of gasoline by another 6 cents per gallon and diesel by 12 cents per gallon. This will raise the cost of groceries and other goods even higher, hurting low and middle income residents the most. @WAGOP

Kitsap Credit Union's official X account posts they do not donate to politicians or PACs so I provide them the receipts that their "non-profit" credit union has donated $122,136 to political candidates and political action committees @TheNCUA.
@BrianOKelley1 @Wake_upWA @thehoffather @BrandiKruse @choeshow @LynnwoodTimes @WAGOP @JimWalshLD19 @BECU Credit unions, as member-owned, not-for-profit institutions, face complex regulatory & legislative issues. CUs play a key role in advocating for policies that benefit our members. While there are no corporate funds donated, individual personal contributions are voluntary.
