Another OCPF filing, and the same pattern: More than 95% of the money raised by the Yes on 3 campaign in the first half of September came from just six corporate executives in private equity, venture capital, and investment banking. Don't let them buy our elections.

I keep hearing excuses that only "single issue" voters care about what Moulton said about transgender people, but my problem with Seth isn't just a "single issue." It's his willingness to regurgitate MAGA talking points as soon as it became politically expedient for him. Thread of some thoughts.

Holy cow. Matt McLaughlin is running specifically on being allied with Paul Toner. I just got a robo call where he bragged about that. Paul Toner who allegedly patronized a sex trafficking ring. Horrific and totally morally bankrupt. #mapoli

In Seattle's Pike Place Market, vendors claimed that removing cars would cripple them. Nope. Sales actually rose. Remember: Studies show that biz owners consistently exaggerate how many customers drive and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Info: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
