The Washington legislative session wrapped up in March, passing 267 bills to Governor Bob Ferguson to sign into law. We would go insane giving you a rundown of each one, but here’s a look at a few we followed during the 2026 legislative session. Find them below:

There’s more than enough money in America to have everything we want from bike lanes to universal healthcare . We literally just have to stop prioritizing funding war and terrorizing BIPOC communities.

honestly shocked JWs made the cut but LDS didn't. I think someone mixed them up lol

The thing to remember about LA County politics is that the type people who hate the City of Los Angeles enough to vote for Spencer Pratt carved out hyper segregated municipal exclaves for themselves decades ago

wait you mean renewable energy doesn't run out ? ?

Btw I think I got all your suggestions on here! This playlist is perfect.

On Friday, ICE officer Jaimie Waite testified in court not only about what happened the day he was allegedly assaulted during an arrest, but also about one of the prejudiced posts RANGE found this week. The judge allowed it to be introduced because “It’s evidence of bias.”

We are committed to getting more nickels.

I don't wanna discount our work but this stuff isn't even particularly hard to find??

Facebook's automatic comment moderation is such trash: it'll show the same person spamming multiple stupid comments and racist bullshit comments with little to do with the post under "Most Relevant," but automatically hide comments that are actually on topic.

Forgot to post this after the crazy storm in Spokane

The judge’s ruling illustrates clear issues with the Keep WA Working Act: federal agents can’t be held accountable for state violations of the law — even if they know they're breaking it.

I've been doing the "it's a hard week so I'm gonna buy coffee today" thing so much in the last 3 weeks that the coffee stand gal now knows my order on sight

The defendant was charged with assaulting a federal officer after he rolled his window up and an ICE officer’s arm became stuck during a stop last July in East Wenatchee.

New: the ex-defendants in the dropped Broadview Six case have filed a motion calling for payment of attorney fees & legal expenses. Earlier today, U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' office issued a "special report" over his grand jury appearances, incl. before the grand jury in the Broadview Six case.

Added the rest of the suggestions today :)

A shocked city reckons with guilty verdict of Spokane 3. Activists, community members, officials and onlookers were horrified about the First Amendment implications of the convictions. But they vowed to keep fighting:

Excellent work, team.

meant to tag myself

holy shit this is my favorite thing ever. I feel like a DJ

The verdict in the Trial of the Spokane 3 yesterday was devastating for many of our community members, but for the three defendants - Jac Archer, Justice Forral and Bajun Mavalwalla II - the fight is not over. Read more on what the verdict means and what's next in their ongoing legal battle below.

I think I've reached an age where I need to keep a list of fast food places my tummy doesn't agree with 😔

Some clarity on the different charges of the verdict based on the court docs: The jury had to agree on at least one finding of five to support the verdict. For example, they could believe a defendant conspired to prevent an officer from doing their job but didn't injure them. ...

Three protesters were convicted of conspiracy against ICE agents today in Spokane. It’s the first known prosecution of its kind in Eastern Washington. More: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

🚨This desperately needs national attention: 3 people were just convicted of FEDERAL CONSPIRACY for protesting ICE last June. It's pretty similar to the #Broadview6 case with @katmabu.bsky.social that was recently dismissed.

I can't quite believe it.

Forral is found guilty of conspiracy to injure the property of federal officers (counts C and D). They found Forral guilty of aiding and abetting in the conspiracy as well.

"It's a test case for the use of conspiracy charges against protestors." RANGE reporter Erin Sellers went on KUOW Seattle's Soundside podcast to talk about the Spokane 3 federal trial, the implications of possible outcomes, what this trial means for free speech, and more.

There is a verdict. Everyone is running to the courthouse

really trying not to become an ai bro but I just made important updates, added new features and debugged parts of our website in one morning using Claude. I had put those tasks off for months because usually doing those things ends up taking me 12+ hours and significant psychic damage.

The "money spent on AI since page load" figure is kind of mesmerizing. Imagine if we were spending at that clip, on what's truly transformational: the transition, pollution cleanup, scientific research, housing, debt forgiveness, medicare for all.

I feel like just getting 1 (one) bullet train connecting the airports in the highest-use flight path would pretty quickly radicalize the population

A group of lemurs is called a 'conspiracy,' btw www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/48...

Pete Serrano, Special Attorney to the Attorney General of The United States and the First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, is in the courtroom for closing arguments in the #Spokane3 case.

RIP $5 footlong from the last recession, you were a real one ✊😔

Two defendants have rested their cases. Judge Rebecca Pennell told the attorneys to prepare to deliver their closing arguments tomorrow. Depending on the timing, it is technically possible that the jury returns a verdict Wednesday.

today's satire check (It's not satire)

We are back in the courtroom for The Trial of the Spokane 3. It's the sixth day of the trial and today the defense will begin to make their case.

I continue to be so proud of this team. It can be scary turning a lens on any government, especially this current federal government. Truth, diligence and moral clarity still mean something, and have a powerful way of leveling even the most slanted playing field.

Yo, RANGE is hiring. One the best places to work in media in the entire universe.

For those of you who like the live threads, but maybe want something a bit more concise, enjoy this mini-thread! All our published reporting from the first week of the Trial of the Spokane 3 in chronological order, starting with Day 1:

This was maybe the best day of my career as a journalist so far. Seeing my investigative work have such an immediate impact that even the federal govt is agreeing this man should be impeached for his “horrendous” tweets…that’s fuel for more 12 hour days. See yall next Tuesday!

when Hoopla notifies me that I "have borrows left for May!" when I do not, in fact, have borrows left for May 😔 #booksky
