Word on the street is this is gonna be très bad. Lax fiscal controls, serious overspending. Also picking up chatter that there are more damning revelations to come soon about King County grantmaking.


“…we are hundreds of officers short. And we have people working extra shifts all the time to just get to minimums. So we are working, delays are sometimes significant. We're trying to improve that as best we can, but people are - we are stretched thin." - Kent Loux President, Seattle Police Officers Guild foxnews.com/media/socialis…

The “blog” in question received seed funding from David Sacks, Marc Andreessen, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and British hedge fund tycoon Paul Marshall before being bought by the Ellison family whose net worth is $400 billion. A true bootstrap story of scrappy indie media!



I’ve covered Eric Swawell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.

How in hell did America go from This to This?🤪

We have federally charged Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, of Highland, in connection with the massive blaze that destroyed a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse in Ontario early Tuesday morning, causing damages estimated at over $500 million. Abdulkarim filmed himself setting merchandise on fire inside the warehouse and made statements criticizing capitalism and large corporations. He also compared himself to accused murderer Luigi Mangione. We will not tolerate political activists who resort to violence to advance their ideology. He is charged with arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce and used in activities affecting interstate and foreign commerce. This felony charge carries a five-year mandatory minimum prison sentence and a statutory maximum of 20 years in federal prison.


kamala harris was not wearing earphone earrings during the debate. she was wearing $800 tiffany & co pearls. instead of pushing conspiracies how about we point out that most americans would kill for $800 in their savings, not on their ears, and she’s out of touch that way.



Nature is healing: The Stranger says it is back on Capitol Hill dlvr.it/TRyNRq

The @MayorofSeattle had a big community event at City Hall yesterday evening to announce progress on her centerpiece push to add 500 new enhanced shelter beds by the World Cup in June, and 1000 by the end of the year. This @seattletimes story gets at one prong of news coming out of her announcement: the first new shelter location is going to be 75 microunit pallet shelters (with services on site), each 70 sq ft, in Interbay. But it totally misses what may the bigger bit of political news she made: our socialist mayor announced that she has secured significant private financial support for her shelter initiative from some of Seattle's biggest, most establishment corporate players. She name checked Microsoft, Starbucks (didn't she tell us not to drink their coffee?!?), and T-Mobile as all ponying up for the effort. That's a significant win for our insurgent, outsider mayor, and the latest indicator that maybe just maybe she's not following the "ideological warrior" script to governance we've seen previously from left lane electeds in Seattle.
