I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Eight months ago, Katie Wilson declared her intention to run and all the conventional powers-that-be said she didn't stand a chance of winning.
Remember that we don't always know what is possible.

Wilson now leads in the Seattle mayoral race by 91 votes. Prior to today, Harrell had been leading by 4,300 votes, but this latest vote batch netted Wilson 4,391 votes.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

SEATTLE!!!
We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

the only thing giving me peace tonight is knowing that these fuckers had literally NOTHING to do with our victory last week.
they can't take that away from us. if anything, we did it to spite them. they were useless all year.
they didn't like a socialist mayor in NYC?
BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUPS.

Blood pressure pro tip: expend energy giving money to the DSA rather than ranting about Dem leadership. This is just a note to self.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

It’s 1:10 PM on a Sunday. I wish I was watching the Mariners play instead of calling Patty Murray at (202) 224-2621 and Maria Cantwell at (202) 224-3441 to tell them not to make any concessions on healthcare in order to open the government again.

So this one is super personal to me. I live near here and my partner is Mexican and this is often the closest thing authentic around here as you can get. I would go here with her twice a week. It’s affordable and they are kind people. I’ve been here likely 100+ times. Never saw any health issues.
SPD out here on Northgate shutting down the taco stand between 8th and Roosevelt due to "multiple licensing and health code violations" that they wouldn't provide anymore info about.

Dan Strauss gets it. I’d rather have a line down the block for tacos at 23rd and Rainier than an empty gravel lot.
Here is Dan Strauss talking about how this taco stand has been the most positive activation of this street corner he has seen in years. SDOT Director Emery confirms SDOT will take an approach of education first with a path to permitting. Tonight SPD shut this stand down citing enforcement by SDOT.
