Nearly 400 Seattle cops made over $200k in 2024
With 23 percent raises and backpay, a lot of awful cops got awful rich in 2024. Sleeping Sergeant Paige Maks raked in half a million, while prolific offender Zsolt Dornay took in nearly $360,000.

We obviously ate waaay too damn much wall candy.
Based on the information we have now, young white men were more likely to support Harris than any other age group.
Man-O-Sphere garbage is clearly a problem but Gen X white dudes are more right-wing and far more likely to vote.
