RIP Lenny Wilkens www.seattletimes.com/sports/sonic...

Happy 5th anniversary to this all-time great anonymous "senior Republican" quote about Trump in WaPo after the 2020 election. "What is the downside in humoring him for this little bit of time? .. It's not like he's plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20."

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration turns to Supreme Court to block order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments.

Katie Wilson made big gains on Bruce Harrell in today's vote count. The count probably makes her the slight favorite at this point, but no one's declaring or conceding anything. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Wilson won today's vote with just under 52% of the count. If that's the number going forward, she will lose. But King County Elections is going slowly and I don't know what kinds of ballots (drop box vs mail) are still waiting to be counted.

NEW: A California law firm has enlisted former Gov. Jay Inslee & former top Gov. Ferguson aide Mike Webb in its lobbying push for a multibillion dollar wildfire victims fund, to be paid for by utilities and ratepayers www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

NEW: WA election-night initial results displays have been repeatedly, glaringly glitched at Secretary of State website in recent elections, including Tuesday. Secretary of State's office blames aging software systems and promises a fix. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Anyone else see the screwed up initial WA election results last night on Sec State website? Any other screenshots?

TIRED: “I alone can fix it.” WIRED: “Do something Democrats!!!”

The lowest cap on refugees since the program was established in 1980 comes as the U.S. prioritizes resettling Afrikaners from South Africa.

NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted through his Ring doorbell on Long Island. “I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor. So I just gave him my opinion.”

Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

This is the state of American media right now. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Breaking: The Department of Justice announced it will "monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions [in New Jersey and California] ahead of the upcoming November 4, 2025, general election to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law." www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

This absolutely is Jeff Bezos’s fault. I feel sorry for the excellent journalists and other staff caught up in his mismanagement, but this is his doing. And it will only lead to the Post doing even worse, which will then — almost inevitably — lead to more layoffs.

JUST IN: Once again, Lindsey Halligan has to turn to out-of-state prosecutors, this time for the Letitia James case. Roger Keller is a Missouri-based prosecutor. Two NC-based prosecutors are handling the Comey case for her as well. No one from EDVA in either case.

Thinking about how the Blue Jays & Mariners both started in 1977

Get out the rye bread, grandma. No mustard. No salami. Just a dry hunk of goddamn rye. #Mariners

What a colossal choke job by the Mariners. Hats off to Toronto.

Mariners fans! Don’t fret! Our AI companions know what the future holds.

One more chance Mariners. Let's go for 15 innings again!

Look at this meatball pitch. What a nightmare.

I checked math and math says: ONE SWING CAN TIE IT #goms

If you were not familiar with the concept of the Seattle Mariners before, this is a good game to catch you up to speed

Of course it's Springer. GODDDD

Oh man

Sling TV outage has forced me to radio! And then Julio hit HR. I will stay here. #Goms

The Mariners forgot how to drive (runs in) with a clutch (hit)

Breaking News: The Trump administration can move forward with deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, an appeals court ruled.

Still can't believe they threw Suarez the fastball there. Thank you, Canada!

Eugenio Suárez go-ahead grand slam in Seattle. My goodness.

THE @MARINERS ARE ONE WIN AWAY FROM THEIR FIRST-EVER WORLD SERIES APPEARANCE 😮

HELL YEAH! Back at you Toronto! #goms

Dan Wilson is driving me nuts!!!

I am declaring a Mariners State of Emergency

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. "We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

NEW: I interviewed WA's National Guard commander, Maj. Gen. Gent Welsh, about the Guard's role & tensions escalated by Trump's military deployments to cities that don't want or need the troops. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

NEW: News organizations including the @washingtonpost.com, @nytimes.com, @theatlantic.com, and @cnn.com said their reporters will NOT sign the Pentagon's restrictive press policy. Outlets said that the policy infringes on their First Amendment rights. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Winning in only 9 innings? EZ. #goms

Would be reeeallly nice if Bryan Woo is back, and healthy, for the ALCS.

Our long civic nightmare of listening to that MLB color commentator is OVER #goms

HELL YEAH!!!! #goms
