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 far-left activists will 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. 🧵👇
NEW: Court documents show the Seattle woman accused of behaving like a cannibal lived in one of the the most crime-ridden homeless housing facilities in the city.
Yet somehow the Downtown Emergency Service Center continues to get a pass for all the bad behavior and chaos caused by its unhinged residents. How come?
In this Discovery Institute investigation, we scrutinized DESC's powerful connections to WA politics and examined how a network of power brokers in the region appear to be running cover for this controversial organization.

Pretty covert. We just missed Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar in Seattle.
NEW: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-SOMALIA) did not flee the US. It turns out she was in Seattle
She was brought in for the annual banquet of the Washington chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the Obama Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror financing trial in US history, whose leaders were convicted for funneling money to Hamas, a US designated terror organization

Seattle, we don’t have to live this way.
🚨SEATTLE: Two longtime businesses have CLOSED near the infamous 12th & Jackson intersection.
Owners of Henry's Taiwan and Seattle Herbs & Grocery blame rampant crime, homelessness, and drug encampments allowed to fester by socialist mayor @MayorofSeattle for the deteriorating conditions.
How many more businesses will Seattle lose before drug addicts and criminals are held accountable?

I thought Islam was the religion of peace?
Was that just a CAIR talking point?
Elon Musk reveals that an ex-Tesla employee who assaulted a woman for stepping on his prayer rug went on to kill three students in Austin.
MUSK: "We had someone who was working at the Tesla factory in Austin until December of last year. He was fired because he assaulted a woman who stepped on his prayer rug in the factory. Okay. So she wasn't expecting anyone to be praying in the factory, and he was praying in the factory. She accidentally stepped on his prayer rug, and he assaulted her. He violently assaulted her. So he was fired for that, and then a few months later, he went and killed three students in a bar in downtown Austin. Now, I think we shouldn't let people like that into the country. Do you?"

NEW: In response to the White House bounty program, I fully expect WA Democrats to push a "Stop Nick Shirley" bill during the next Legislative Session.
The progressives will accuse citizen journalists of being "racist."
The vast majority of daycares and autism centers accused of fraud have been run by Somalis and other minorities.
🚨 JUST IN: Nick Shirley just dropped this line in the Oval Office flanked by President Trump, and it's PURE GOLD
"I want people to think about what is happening right now...me as a 24-year-old, I went out and exposed the fraud. I just was concerned about the well-being of our tax dollars. And right now, I'm standing next to the President of the United States." 🔥
"There's never been an incentive for anyone to ever expose fraud [until now]...when you expose fraud, you help save America. People understand that these fraudsters take from the poor needy who actually need the services that we all work hard to pay for, and we take that, and they then buy Mercedes!" @nickshirleyy
WELL-DESERVED FOR NICK.
A year ago, legacy media mocked him as a right-wing propagandist
Today he walked into the Oval Office with the first check for exposing fraud that the media IGNORED!!
Camera, microphone and passion for saving America. Let's freaking go.

BOUNTY PROGRAM: Somali daycare fraudsters and Asian senior center hustlers better watch their backs.
If you are stealing from taxpayers, we are coming for you.
American citizens will now be financially incentivized to report any funny business.
.@nickshirleyy: "Finally, people have an incentive to actually go out and expose fraud — and when you expose fraud, you help save America."

HAPPENING NOW: Seattle food stamp fraud investigator Nick Shirley representing all independent journalists trying to expose the truth! 🇺🇸🔥💵
"You worked every single day to provide for yourself, your family, your loved ones, to send your tax dollars to the state of California, to the federal government to do what? To pay for people that are robbing us blind, that are looting us, pillaging us, plundering us."
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller unloads on alleged fraudsters, accusing them of taking advantage of hardworking Americans who show up every day, provide for their families and pay their taxes.
Miller singles out California and the federal government as he questions where taxpayers' hard-earned money is going.

Seattle is killing the creatives and entrepreneurs that built this city. It's do or die time. Vote wisely in November.
Seattle is about to have the highest tax rate in America, above New York City. The people who work for a living are carrying it.
Seattle Is Killing Small Business.

HAPPENING NOW: An Asian grandma with a wad of $20's just got a fantastic deal on stolen vitamins in Seattle's Chinatown-ID.
It's the worst kept secret, but Asian elders are helping fuel the black market of stolen goods and the drug crisis.
Cops know it. Politicians know it. But no one wants to call this out because it could potentially be interpreted as "racist."
The Asian seniors are treated like royalty out here.
Zero fear of whacked out drug addicts or criminals.
In fact, they get the red carpet treatment because they have the cash!
And as Nick Shirley exposed last month, Asians are also running food stamp hustles.
As more Asian mom & pop businesses flee the CID, others in this community are clearly taking advantage of this economic crisis.
When is the crackdown coming? Is it time to call in the feds?
@SeattlePD |@MayorofSeattle|@nickshirleyy
BREAKING: Two more small businesses have ejected from Seattle's Chinatown-ID.
Henry's Taiwan and Seattle Herbs & Grocery officially closed this month after being long time staples at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St.
The owners blame socialist Mayor Katie Wilson's inability to handle crime and homeless drug encampments in the area.
Property values are also plummeting, threatening to further destroy the core identity of this Asian American community.
I'm working on another update. Stay tuned. @MayorofSeattle

Axios just got played by Somali fraudsters. 🤣
When are you going to issue a correction @axios?
Holy sht. Axios "fact-checkers" just used a literal AI photo, provided by Nasifa Fai, to "DEBUNK" a real video.
Welcome to 1984.

The government bounty program for fraud, waste, and abuse is live!
🚨 WOW! President Trump and JD Vance are launching a $25 MILLION fund to pay Americans who expose fraud, to be revealed in the OVAL OFFICE today — Fox
It's called the "Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program," and it'll be run by the DOJ 🔥
Minnesota's Feeding Our Future scheme alone stole about $250 million meant for kids. Imagine how much faster that gets caught when people who KNOW are incentivized to blow the wistle
This sends shivers down the spine of fraudsters! 🇺🇸

Under Islam’s Sharia law, this would considered “haram” or forbidden.
Unclear if Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar has repented of this violation.
They were selling EMPTY barrels of wine…
Name of wine:
“The Devil’s Lie”
Ilhan Omar’s net worth:
2020: -$65K
2021: $65K
2022: $115K
2023: $205K
2024: 30 MILLION
2025: $95K
2026: $125K
This wasn’t an accounting error.
This was a sloppy money laundering op.
They got caught.

Yes. That's why ZERO mosques were touched and ZERO pork products were stolen from grocery stores in France.
Do not believe your lying eyes.
There is absolutely a psyop on X to convince people that it’s Muslims and immigrants burning France, when all the available evidence says it’s far left revolutionary groups that are driving the protests.
Be careful what information you consume. This world ia filled with people who care more about their political narrative than they do about the truth.

Oh boy. The usual suspects.
CHAOS INC: A Fox News Digital investigation by @FoxNews Digital's senior editor of investigations @AsraNomani has identified 54 organizations behind France's escalating protests — a sprawling network of communist parties, revolutionary socialist groups, labor unions, Palestine-solidarity organizations and international media outlets working to transform grievances into a full-blown revolt against capitalism, government austerity and military spending.
Now, 28 communist and socialist youth organizations across 12 European countries are mobilizing for a coordinated November 20 strike under the slogan "Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars," calling for walkouts, blockades, occupations and mass demonstrations.
Among the international amplifiers: organizations tied to Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist tech tycoon living in Shanghai, whose network includes Tricontinental and BreakThrough News, a New York-based outlet that published advance coverage of the weekend's mayhem in France.
