Washington lawmakers are advancing a slate of 2026 bills that weaken sentencing laws, reduce accountability for violent and repeat offenders, and prioritize criminals over victims and public safety. From gutting the voter-approved Three Strikes Law to lowering penalties for sex offenders who fail to register, Olympia is moving aggressively toward a soft-on-crime model that puts communities at risk.

This episode of Left Coast News breaks down every major bill driving Washington’s criminal justice shift — including early release expansions, resentencing mandates, record-vacating provisions, and the growing use of government waivers and bureaucratic “equity” programs that excuse criminal behavior while raising costs on taxpayers. Conservatives, law enforcement families, and crime victims should be paying close attention.

Washington lawmakers are quietly advancing bills that expand government power, weaken accountability, and limit citizen oversight. From voter records being blocked, citizen initiatives being made impossible to file, Attorney General gag-order investigations and erased legal financial obligations, to union control of agriculture, regulation of podcasters and content creators, and state-managed income-based education repayment schemes — these bills reveal a clear pattern of centralized control.

In this Left Coast News breakdown, we walk through the actual bill language behind SB 5925, HB 2102, SB 6045, HB 2400, and HB 2148 — separating political spin from what these laws really do and who they really affect.

If you care about transparency, free speech, fair labor, small businesses, agriculture, and constitutional limits on government power, this episode is required listening.

Washington State leaders are once again circling the wagons — this time over growing questions surrounding publicly subsidized daycare programs. As federal investigators examine alleged childcare fraud schemes across the country, scrutiny has turned toward Washington’s own daycare subsidy system. Instead of demanding transparency and audits, Governor Bob Ferguson, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and Attorney General Nick Brown have publicly condemned citizen investigators and social media reporting, framing scrutiny as “harassment” rather than accountability. In this episode of Left Coast News, we break down the constitutional issues, the role of public oversight, and why demanding answers about taxpayer-funded programs is not hate — it’s civic duty.
