Washington Democrats Propose 55% Cut To Abortion Access Funds Amid National Attack On Reproductive Justice

Senate Democrats quietly proposed a shameful 55% cut to abortion access funding in their budget, leaving just $7 million for the 2026–2027 biennium to cover a critical healthcare service in a state that prides itself on being pro-choice. With Trump already training his crosshairs on reproductive rights, it's incumbent on the State Legislature—and Governor Bob Ferguson—to bolster funding for abortion, not sacrifice it on the altar of anti-tax orthodoxy

Meanwhile Hannah covered The Stranger's daily news roundup in the Slog AM and did a metric fuck-ton of on the ground reporting at protests and the daily going-ons at Seattle city hall.

With the departure of Hannh and Ashley we're basically loosing one of the absolute best publications in town for following legislature and elections news!

Now drama aside there's no way in hell Hannah and Ashley should be suddenly out of a job over this high school rumor.

Both have posted venmos and it would be awesome if you're able to throw these two under paid journa a few bucks and ref mastodon.

They have covered a TON of important local stories from a progressive or leftist perspective and its been very refresshing. It's a big loss for now.

So, I said this was a drama well naturally there's an alleged sex scene and also some bullshit.

So evidently some people in local "political circles" heard about hot people who also exist in these circles having sex, once.

Nothing bad is alleged during this sex. Just that 3rd parties found out about it & for some reason demanded Ashely and Hannah's help with the steamy situation.

Major Seattle drama I haven't posted about yet two incredible The Stranger reporters, Hannah Krieg & Ashley Nerbovig, have been forced to resign after a dubious "internal investigation".

If you're out of the loop, The Stranger was recently sold to new management, Brady Walkinshaw's Noisy Creek. During this process the workers formed a union.

Stranger reporter Hannah Krieg noticed that 70 local politicians from the county, state and federal level are all demanding an independent investigation into Seattle residents Ayşenur Eygi's murder death.

However only ONE official at city hall, council woman Tammy Morales, signed on. The mayor and all other city council members continue to ignore Ayşenur's murder.
