Careful now. Lord Jaydolph still has those Emergency Powers at his disposal until the end of the month.

Hard to say which was a larger waste of money, the $2M he spent on that failed campaign (Climate Change Pain Train - choo-choo!), or the millions of dollars of WA unemployment checks his Democrat lackey Suzi Levine blindly sent to Nigerian scammers.

The federal government (under Trump at the time) removed the "waiting week" which states use to verify the legitimacy of unemployment claims. This caused fraud all over the country, not just in Washington, to get through. It is more the fault of trying to get benefits out fast than of any individual state's process.

I'd blame Equifax for leaking the identity of the majority of adults in the United States more than any other entity. And they've basically faced no consequences for it.
