Rinck is a one-woman council majority.
Big news: Alexis Rinck's Better Bus Lanes budget amendment officially has five co-sponsors, giving it majority support on the city council.
Flanked by a crowd of transit advocates, Seattle Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck announced a "Better Bus Lanes" campaign on Wednesday, demanding expanded and improved bus lanes on the city's busiest routes.

Bruce Harrell’s campaign just sent me one of the most out of touch campaign messages I’ve ever received. It says a lot about a person if they think grandparents helping to pay for child care is some kind of scandal. If this is the worst they’ve got on Katie Wilson, that’s practically an endorsement.

The scenes from Los Angeles are a stark reminder that Trump's mass deportation agenda has already begun—a deliberate assault on immigrant families that violates our most basic values of human dignity and due process.

❗️The measure to repeal ranked-choice voting in Alaska is now trailing — by 192 votes statewide.
The roughly 3.9K ballots counted today broke for the 'no' by 29%. (About as many more ballots remain, probably a little more.)
