EXCLUSIVE: I spent several years following Alex through a constellation of taxpayer funded homeless housing facilities in Seattle.
He eventually settled in the Downtown Emergency Service Center's North Star.
DESC is the poster child for "Housing First" in WA.
Politicians and also refer to this model as low barrier permanent supportive housing.
Alex showed me what he does all day:
-Wakes up
-Get's free drug supplies at front desk
-Takes bus to find his fentanyl dealer
-Comes back to his room in the North Star
-Smokes drugs all day
-Zero requirements to get into addiction treatment
-Zero requirements to find a job
-He rarely sees his DESC case manager
-Alex admits he has no purpose in life
-Rinse and repeat
After more than a decade of trying this failed public policy, the Trump administration is defunding "Housing First" and reallocating the money into treatment and recovery providers.
The homeless industrial complex is shook and now fear mongering, claiming more people will be forced onto the streets. That's a lie.
In response, WA Democrats have taken the bait from Homeless INC and are trying to prop up this failed model by potentially raising taxes to offset funding losses. This is a scandal. 🧵👇

It should be insulting to every American that the mayor of our largest city is a guy who became a citizen less than a decade ago and now spends his time coaching illegal aliens in a foreign language on how they can avoid being lawfully deported.
If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

These are violent, leftist thugs who are supported and aided in systems that create feedback loops where killers are eventually formed.
If these @ThornsFC fans were around 100 years ago, they would have formed mobs to lynch black people. Shirts aren’t violence. Violence is violence. And Portland condones it.

More Somali fraudsters pleading guilty to all kinds of hustles in Minnesota.
ANOTHER GUILTY VERDICT: FoF fraudster Muna Fidhin guilty all 9 counts of wire fraud, bribery & money laundering. She owned a Burnsville biz, M5 cafe, billing the gov't nearly $1M to feed hungry children. Instead, paid off a mortgage, bought a Lexus SUV & wired $$ overseas. @FOX9

HAPPENING NOW: Earlier this week, socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said her new homelessness plan would fix this disaster in Chinatown-ID.
But today, it looks worse than ever.
Problem is, most of these people are fetty addicts and already in taxpayer funded housing.
They very, not more housing without requirements.
You can’t build your way out of this problem.

NEW: Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson admits the current response to the city’s homeless drug crisis isn’t working.
But she’s doubling down on the failed Housing First approach and working with the same players in the regions’s homeless industrial complex that presided over ure. 🧵👇🏽

President Trump just dropped a political nuke on the Somali Congresswoman’s head.
🚨 WOW: Trump just declared Ilhan Omar's seat forfeited.
In a message aimed at Speaker Mike Johnson, he said the Democrat Party has conceded her seat.
He named her as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. He said she openly admitted to FRAUD and will not be legally allowed to remain a Member.
Trump is not waiting for the spin. x.com/RapidResponse4…

Have you spoken with the president of Seattle Children’s?
“Capping the state charitable deduction at $100,000 in Washington creates a strong disincentive for high-impact philanthropy, ultimately hurting the communities and organizations that rely on charitable support."

When millionaires get a tax break, our hospitals and health care clinics pay the price.
Doctors know this. That’s why the Washington State Medical Association is opposing I-645.
I-645 would repeal the millionaires tax, give a tax break to the wealthiest, and defund social services and health care access in the process.
We won't stand for this.
Washington: Vote NO on I-645!

Still ZERO reports of mosques being set on fire.
Hier, en une seule journée, en France, cinq églises ont été incendiées par des musulmans qui veulent détruire le christianisme. Ceux qui ont commis ces actes ont montré une âme violente et criminelle, dépourvues de civilisation et de sensibilité 😡Community noteCette photo n'a pas été prise hier. Elle montre l'incendie de la porte de l'église Saint-Sulpice à Paris, le 17 mars 2019, il y a plus de sept ans. cruxnow.com/church-in-euro…

Cat is out of the bag. No way to spin the chaos coming out of France.
Just in: France's Prime Minister asked telecom companies to prepare to block social media platforms. "I wish to have the ability to temporarily suspend access to these services in case of a repeat of urban violence," he wrote. @blast news broke the story.

Information exclusive Blast : le Premier ministre a préparé la coupure des réseaux sociaux pour le 24 octobre
Deux jours avant la manifestation du 24 octobre, le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a demandé à Orange, SFR, Free et Bouygues Telecom de se tenir prêts à couper l’accès à TikTok, Instagram ,Snapchat et X. Blast révèle la lettre et le compte rendu de la réunion qui a suivi, où les opérateurs ont exprimé leurs doutes. Le gouvernement avait déjà utilisée cette mesure liberticide en Nouvelle-Calédonie en 2024, avant d’être désavoué par le Conseil d’État.
