🚨 Washington OKs 1st statewide missing Indigenous people alert
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday signed into law a bill that creates a first-in-the-nation statewide alert system for missing Indigenous people, to help address a silent crisis that has plagued Indian Country in this state and nationwide.
The law sets up a system similar to Amber Alerts and so-called silver alerts, which are used respectively for missing children and vulnerable older adults in many states.
Besides notifying law enforcement when there’s a report of a missing Indigenous person, the new alert system will place messages on highway reader boards and on the radio and social media, and provide information to the news media.

🇺🇸 Pence unveils his ‘Freedom Agenda’ as he weighs 2024 run
Former US Vice President Mike Pence is offering his version of a “Freedom Agenda” platform for Republicans ahead of this year’s midterm elections, presenting a framework for GOP candidates — and possibly himself, for a 2024 presidential run.
Pence’s political platform brand, announced on Thursday, combines traditional Republican goals such as increasing American fossil fuel use, cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations, and rolling back regulations, with priorities pursued by former President Donald Trump on issues like the environment, social services, trade and immigration.
Much of the 28-page plan reads like the platform of a presidential campaign, underscoring Pence’s ambitions and providing a road map that he is likely to pursue if he moves forward with a 2024 run.
