If the Sounders get even as much as $3M+20% sell-on it has to be considered a huge win. If they also get him back on loan … it’s a genuine master-stroke.

The Justice Department’s prosecution of the reporters Don Lemon and Georgia Fort is β€œbest understood not as law enforcement but as propaganda,” Quinta Jurecic argues: theatln.tc/fcStyVnv

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need β€œmore training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them toβ€”impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The federal government is gunning people down in the streets, lying about what happened and then preventing any independent investigation of the killings

The man killed by a US Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis was an ICU nurse, family says Family members say the man who was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis was an intensive care nurse at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset ...

β€œAs of Saturday evening, the family said they had still not heard from anyone at a federal law enforcement agency about their son’s death.”

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Sara Nelson's time as Council President was a true stain on the legislative department in Seattle. Her leadership fostered toxicity, led to Seattle losing many very good legislative staff + a great legislator, & coincided with a stagnation of Council generated legislation. Bye bye One-Term CM Nelson

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.

They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.

The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

The Stranger hasn’t really covered SPS in years. They don’t regularly come to school board meetings or interview caregivers or follow the impactful issues affecting Seattle kids and families. Vote for Sarah Clark for School board!!! She’s *ON THE BOARD NOW* and doing great for students and our city!

Yesterday, Stephen Miller had one of the most terrifying Freudian slips I've ever heard.

He claimed Trump has plenary authority (absolute power)β€”before cutting himself off.

Today, Trump said Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson should be *jailed*.

This is how authoritarian regimes talk. (1/3)

[Update, 11:45 p.m.: By Sunday night, a second temporary restraining order was issued in the case, barring the Trump administration from sending any National Guard federalized under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to Oregon from any state or D.C. The move followed actions by the Trump administration overnight to send members of the California National Guard to Oregon and plans to do so as to the Texas National Guard as well.

At a hastily called hearing on Sunday night, Immergut harshly questioned the Justice Department lawyer before her, Eric Hamilton, asking him β€” while noting that he is an officer of the court β€” β€œDo you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?”

Issuing the second TRO in as many days in the case, Immergut called the Trump administration’s actions in apparent response to her first order β€œin direct contravention” of it.
