Confirmed: Katie Wilson will be mayor of Seattle, ousting the incumbent from his left.

And Erika Evans will be the new city attorney, ousting the GOP city attorney after promising to take the office in a more progressive direction.

What do progressives' win mean for law enforcement? NEW IN BOLTS:

Congratulations Seattle and the nation! We've got a Democratic Socialist mayor in the biggest city in the NE of the country and the biggest city in the NW of the country. Can't wait to see what they can get done together.
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.

I knew there was a reason Republicans have been trying to stop the release of the Epstein files, but holy ****ing shit.
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Finally!

Release the Epstein files!
Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) has been sworn in!

When people declare themselves messiahs, and characterize anyone who opposes their will as demonic, the reaction of a normal society is to institutionalize them.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Democrats are on track to win 64 of Virginia's 100 House seats.

That'd be THIRTEEN flips; the chamber is 51/49 right now.

The Washington Post doesn’t exist anymore. An undead creature is wearing its skin, and may appear similar at first glance, but don’t be fooled. The Washington Post that you valued is dead, and has been decaying for some time. I’m sorry.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.
