I reluctantly voted for Katie Wilson for Seattle mayor. I think she is woefully inexperienced. But she now leads by 1,976 votes out of 275,913. Glad she has apparently won, but it would be a mistake to call it a progressive mandate. She now must lead a very conflicted constituency of almost 800,000.

I don’t understand the reference to a dog not barking. It’s an odd metaphor.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Had the same reaction. Did I miss something where everyone rich and famous sends emails that are incomprehensible gibberish?
Seen a few of the epstein emails now, all with different people and it's not the main issue here but is everyone illiterate

Here's one thing we know regarding Jedd Fisch's future at UW
It's conceivable that Jedd Fisch is in purple and gold for the next decade-plus, and it's conceivable that he leaves and takes QB Demond Williams Jr. with him.

Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.

Spinelessness is contagious. Susan Collins infected Angus King. King passed it to next-door neighbors Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan. It made its way west to Dick Durbin, then to Catherine Cortez Masto, who infected Jacky Rosen. I suspect John Fetterman had it and infected nearby Tim Kaine.

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses.
The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

I want names. Who are the D senators cooking up this bullshit compromise?
Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.
