Hey folks, we're at the Shoreline City Council meeting, where there's a few interesting items running through the agenda. One of note is an ordinance that just passed. It authorizes a new Sales Tax in Shoreline, which the council effectively approved to get in line for the money before King County.

Shoreline schools may be closed Monday if the district and the staff union are unable to reach an agreement by Sunday night. www.ospreynews.net/p/shoreline-...

We're ⚡️LIVE⚡️at the Shoreline City Council meeting tonight, where the council will discuss an ordinance opposing IL26-638 and IL26-001. The two measures, scheduled for the November ballot, are all but explicitly designed to target transgender kids in Washington public schools.

A councilmember asked King County Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall if deputies would respond to a call about an arrest by someone claiming to be an ICE agent. “We could go out and say, ‘Hello…can I see your credentials?’ And they could say ‘pound sand,’ and that’s what we would do,” Cole-Tindall replied.

Listen, this has been a rough World Cup to enjoy on a spiritual level, especially after Mexico was knocked out. But that was a nice first 10 minutes.

Read the damn room, Mr. Met.
