Someone will post the highlight here, and when they do, you will see Cristian Roldan made a fabulous run to make the Sounders' winner happen. Brian Schmetzer will rightly plaster it on the walls of the Sounders' academy - and I'll bet Mauricio Pochettino will catch wind of it too.

Facts matter, especially when it comes to election integrity. Myth #16: An audit and a recount are the same thing.
A text graphic from the Election Truth Alliance that reads Myth Versus Reality. Myth number 16 debunked. An audit and a recount are the same thing. Reality: REALITY: Recounts and audits are different procedures that answer different questions. A recount repeats the counting of ballots—typically all cast votes—to verify whether the recount matches the reported result. An audit examines a sample of votes, machines, or polling places to test whether hand counts match machine or cast-vote records, verifying the process, not the result itself. Recount rules vary widely by state: 
41 states and D.C. allow requested recounts under certain conditions, while nine do not. Statewide recounts are exceedingly rare: only 36 of 6,929 statewide elections from 2000–2023 resulted in one.

BREAKING: In Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's new proposed city budget being released Tuesday, there is no projected deficit through 2030. Given the state of the projected deficit over the past many years, this is quite an achievement.

Lagunas was identified on social media by community ICE watchdog Ismael Cordová-Clough one week ago. In both Chicago and Minneapolis, he has threatened people by telling them they won't "like the outcome" if they continue observing. We've watched his behavior escalate over the last year.

But it's stunning to watch in real time how the establishment media is setting up the narrative against a progressive mayor. They never did this with Harrell, even though the way he handled SPD chief hiring and firing and hiring was a disastrous mess.

What a batshit first sentence to an editorial excoriating the mayor of Seattle for removing a controversial police chief appointed by her predecessor, something our mayors have routinely done. The conspiracy brain at play: "How dare this scheming woman try to distract us from her incompetence!"
If Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson believed forcing out Shon Barnes as chief of police would put an end to questions about her leadership and lapses surrounding the Bite of Seattle shooting on July 26, she was very much mistaken.

Wilson showed decisive leadership. Always hard to fire a police chief. Now we get a proper search and she gets her pick. I think this imaginary pile on is basically sour grapes. Under estimate her at your peril. Then cry about it.
