1/3 Historic ruling on WA’’s capital gains tax marks the crashing end of the Eyman era of anti-tax populism and the culmination of a decade’s long effort at progressive tax populism in this state that began around 2011....

Was at this game with my almost five year old twins back in 2008. They are now college sophomores....ITS TIME #BringBackOurSonics

They notified the state police who manage background checks.Illinois has a red flag law https://t.co/QAlZrBEvR7. Was never initiated. Fast forward, he legally buys 5 guns, including 2 ARs in recent days. Yesterday he kills six and wounds 39 others in a matter of seconds.

So the Highland Park shooter had recent incidents of proposed suicide and threats to family members such that local police removed knives from his home.
