Our staff don't look at Twitter much anymore. But on the rare occasion we do look, the home feed ("For you," it says) is now chock full of posts from right wing accounts, none of which we follow. Here's a screenshot. Just shows how Twitter under Elon has become a massive fascist, MAGA echo chamber.

A little sports trivia: This is the first time in Seattle history that the Mariners and Seahawks have each won division titles during overlapping seasons. It has never happened before. It's been a good year for Seattle sports. Congratulations Seahawks! Perhaps they'll be able to win it all, again.

Gabbard now works for Trump and probably isn't going to repeat these sentiments. Which just demonstrates that she's a hack without principles.

Jay Inslee's 2020 authoritarian opponent Loren Culp appears to be calling for mass executions by hanging. This is a tweet from today.
If you're not on Trump's team, you should be killed, basically. Horrific stuff.

The flooding in the Snoqualmie River Valley is absolutely jaw-dropping. Here's a bird's eye view captured yesterday by NPI's ED, who flew a drone over a section of the valley in between Carnation and Duvall.
You can see the floodwaters reach across the valley almost from edge to edge!

"in that neighborhood," meaning you're not sure.
Wouldn't it be better to be sure?
The last FiveThirtyEight rating had them at a B- based on 109 polls.
Pollster ratings are themselves a subjective exercise. Just because a pollster isn't rated "A" by a couple sources doesn't make its work bad.

There's no such thing as an "off year" election. There's no "off" years, there's only "ON" years. Stop using this bad, turnout-crushing term, @msnbc.com!
Every election matters, for every level: local, state, federal. Regardless of what's on the ballot, people need to hear their vote is important.

You returned your ballot, right? Drop boxes close at 8 PM! Don't go to a post office - postmarking delays could lead to your vote not counting!
