We’ve talked about how we in the media normalize (even incentivize) aberrant behavior by public figures who make it their brand.
But just imagine if an official in your city or town had told a female reporter asking about a sex abuse scandal, “Quiet, piggy.” Headlines for days.

When asked on Air Force One if there was anything "incriminating" in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger at the female reporter's face and said “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”

We should get back to good governance again. Boosting local transit is part of that.
Seattle used to fund so much transit service until covid (and jenny durkan)
In 2019, almost 75% of the city lived within walking distance of a bus every 10 mins or better. Today, it's only like 50%!
Time to get the buses running again!

![BUSINESSSMAN: Fellow business leaders, for the first time in 12 years we're locked out of the mayor's office. However.
-We sent a deep cover operative into the Transit Riders Union to expose our new mayor’s hidden agenda. Meet Kyle.
KYLE: For 6 months I lived on a barista's wages in a market-rate apartment. I traveled only by bike or bus.
-In that time the most important thing I learned was this:
-You people made the city into a meatgrinder for the working class and you must be stopped
[businesspeople aghast]
[two men grab Kyle by the arms as he struggles]
-Oh my god they flipped Kyle!

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

The reactionary centrists are not ready for what's coming at them with Katie Wilson. They have no natural defenses against a socialist bus-riding mom who's laser-focused on providing direct material gains for the working poor. Probably the most pragmatic left-politician I've ever met

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.

@typewriteralley.bsky.social @safesler.bsky.social @theurbanist.org just got a text poll with a question about a KCM transit district for next year as an fyi. Doesn't STBD expire next year? Chance that Seattle renews it and stacks it with this one?

A recount is required when the race is within 2,000 votes AND 0.5%. Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 0.72%. #waelex #SEAelex

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

Duh. Johnson was never going to swear Grijalva in unless he knew someone was going to flip their vote.
Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

So Harrell is going to concede when?
An update from Seattle:
King County's Board of Elections says there are roughly 1,400 ballots left that will be added today. (At that point, we'd be left with the roughly 1,500 'challenged' ballots that can be cured through next week.)
Katie Wilson is up 1,346 votes right now.
