This is such a critical thing most people don't know about their local cops; Most don't even live in their community, and it matters A Seattle Lawyer told me that it's well known that cops with rightwing politics take jobs in Seattle to 'bash queers' AKA like Officer Mark Rawlins

Now that Abdul El-Sayed is the nominee, we are going to see the biggest hypocrisy from the "vote blue no matter who" crowd we have seen yet. Everyone knows this is a big test of how leftists like Abdul can perform in purple states. Those invested in "third way" centrism will want this test to fail.

Katie Wilson gets the work done. Seattle's Do Nothing Party, led by the Seattle Times, does not like it and that's why they are talking shit every day all day.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

As a reminder, wealthy German Liberals once decided that rather than acquiesce to progressive and redistributive policies that benefit everyone, they would rather help create the conditions for fascism to grow and consolidate power because they viewed "socialism" as a threat to their privilege.

One reason I’m not terribly worried about the Michigan race is this is a very easy slam dunk for Public Health expert El-Sayed to make the general election about. And if he can’t hit that? Well that’s on him.
