Early Idaho primary results show Republican incumbents ahead, with several legislative races still tight
Early Idaho primary election results show Republican incumbents doing well (unlike Thomas Massie in Kentucky), with Governor Brad Little securing approximately 60% of the initial vote. On the Democratic side, Terri Pickens looks like the apparent gubernatorial nominee. A number of legislative races remain competitive, with key contests still too close to call. Early Idaho primary results show Republican incumbents ahead, with several legislative races still tight is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.

Republican voters vanquish more of Donald Trump’s marks in Kentucky, Georgia primaries
Thomas Massie and Brad Raffensperger are the latest Republicans to lose in Republican primaries after being targeted by Donald Trump for defeat. The base's eagerness to give Trump what he wants demonstrates that the party continues to function more like a cult than a political party despite Trump's declining popularity.

Washington State’s budget has been shrinking, not growing, despite statements to the contrary by former elected officials
Former elected officials like Governor Chris Gregoire, radio personalities like Charlie Harger, and editorial writers at The Seattle Times continue to irresponsibly compare the state budget between eras using absolute dollars, which doesn't allow for a proper apples-to-apples examination. In relative terms — the only terms worth using for comparisons — the state budget has gotten smaller, even with recent tax and fee increases adopted by the people's elected representatives.

Let’s Go Washington apes Tim Eyman by pretending to make a big announcement about its next moves to garner media coverage
The political committee that currently serves as the Evergreen State's right wing initiative factory used a press release with an all caps subject line to imply that its rich chairman had decided on a timeframe and a vehicle for challenging, Washington’s new tax on million-dollar incomes, even though they haven't. Their duplicity even prompted a respected political news outlet to issue a correction.
