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!

Rode in one of these today with @sassyarmand.bsky.social! It still had that new train smell. Didn't know it was *this* new!
Talgo 230 trains today started official commercial service in Denmark and Germany in the Copenhagen-Hamburg route served by Denmark state rail operator DSB
This landmark development happens just two weeks after the formal acceptance of the first units

Put up or shut up time.
The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Importantly the current (interim) head of SDOT came up through the traffic signals division in SDOT and championed these ineffective fancy signals.
The other night I was on a G Line that had to stop at almost every light for nonexistent cross traffic. SDOT makes such a big deal about installing fancy signals with transit priority but then just runs them on timers 🤷♂️
Just watched a train get signal priority at Alaska and MLK but then get stopped at MLK and Oregon.
I'd just say there's still room for SDOT to improve the signal operations on MLK.

Tanya Woo winning more votes than all but four people in Seattle history and losing by 17 points certainly tells you something about having a race during a presidential year
The Rinck, Evans, and Foster campaigns are now officially ranked 2nd, 9th, and 13th, respectively, in total votes received in general elections in Seattle going back to 1973. AMR now holds the top two spots. And counting is far from done.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

The lights are still out, going on more than a year, at Judkins Park. This trail is heavily used by locals for recreation as well as a major connection in our regional transportation bike network.
