Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:
Fuckin patriarchy.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This is why I've always been incensed by the Carville/Plouffe/Clintonista formula for marginalizing excellent statesmen & women (true publicans) like AOC, Bernie et al who often advocate only the very basic safety nets & true cost-benefit policies, labeling them "fringe" when they truly are not.
Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.

KY Gov. Beshear: Let me be clear. Trump has both the funding & the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that Trump has made.
