Selected clips from the bodycam video. King County charged us $360 for this. Thank you to everyone who pitched in to help us cover it! Join our Ko-Fi to help us with future expenses: ko-fi.com/divestspd. Community-based police oversight costs less than a cup of coffee or a gallon of gas in WA

Let's be clear: King County Detective Shawn Peckham is not a misogynist. A group of women simply conspired to kick him off an Alaska Airlines flight for elbowing a flight attendant and calling her a "bitch." But he swears he loves his mama, his daughter—and his ex-wife

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Lots of questions here, chief of which is: Did *anyone* step in and say this seems like a bad idea?

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

Seattle police lieutenant Matthew Didier, caught on camera telling his fellow officers “We’re here to fuck people up” before SPD threw protesters to the ground and arrested them at an anti-trans rally last year, has been disciplined—with a verbal reprimand.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Gil Durán@gilduran.com

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

BREAKING NEWS: The Seattle City Council just passed legislation that will (eventually) ban landlords from charging pet rent. Congratulations to everyone, especially my dog Lou, seen here asking me to cover him again for the 72nd month in a row.

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

It is 90 degrees in DC and I am on my way to the Great American State Fair. This had better be funny, because it sure isn’t going to be good!

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

One day we need to have a real conversation about business guys’ actual connection to reality! It’s very strange to read this. It’s totally unmoored, supported by mythology. The AI bubble is the great dunce mask off moment. An epoch of chaos will follow!

This will make some folks mad :). The best way for these grocery stores to work is if they use AI to get an edge over private grocery stores. AI is the one way for the state government to out perform private enterprises.
