“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Judge Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said.

Judge John Coughenour was blistering in his criticism of President Donald Trump's order to end birthright citizenship, calling it "blatantly unconstitutional."

Birthright citizenship (which is in our constitution and cannot be revoked by a Trump order) is a foundational part of our democracy.

Everyone born in America is an American. MAGA want to seize the power to declare who is or isn't a citizen so they can advance their racist, sexist agenda to take away our freedoms.

Washington’s attorney general plans to sue the Trump administration Tuesday over an executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.

Missed this while we were out for MLK Day yesterday, but the WA House Housing committee passed the rent stabilization bill!

Your boss thinks they can wait you out? Not if the WA Legislature passes Unemployment Insurance for striking workers. Senate Bill 5041 helps encourage good faith bargaining by making it harder for your boss to starve you out if you strike.

Fuse is fighting for a number of bills in this year's legislative session to build more affordable homes, protect our state's natural beauty, and fully fund childcare by making the wealthy few pay what they owe in taxes.

After a resounding defeat at the ballot for multi-millionaire Brian Heywood’s initiatives to give himself a tax cut at our expense, Washington legislators must heed the voice of voters and fill revenue shortfalls by making the wealthy few pay what they truly owe in taxes. Moreover, with Trump’s ...

In his last speech, Inslee tallied his proudest accomplishments: a climate law that requires companies to pay for their air pollution, a capital gains tax, paid family leave, the working families tax credit, a ban on semiautomatic guns, abortion rights protections, and added support for early childhood education.

Gov. Jay Inslee used his last address to the Washington Legislature on Tuesday to frame a legacy of his 12 years in office.

Unlike the disastrous cuts of 2009, "this time around, our state legislators must make a different choice than they did in the last recession: they must make the wealthy finally pay what they owe. This is the only path to balance the budget and keep our state affordable for working people."

State lawmakers have several policy options in the upcoming legislative session to fund public services amid a colossal budget deficit.
