Girmay Zahilay Sworn In: King County has a new boss for the first time in 16 years. As Staff Writer Nathalie Graham reported yesterday, not only is he the youngest ever King County Executive, he’s also the first immigrant to lead the county. During his speech, Zahilay said his priorities include “addressing homelessness, addiction, and incarceration; expanding housing, child care, transit, and infrastructure; making King County government more visible, connected, and community-driven; delivering a government that is more transparent, efficient, and accountable.”

I Hate Pete Hegseth: Last week, six Democratic lawmakers who once served in the military or intelligence community released a video telling troops that they don’t have to follow illegal orders. “Threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” they said in the video, and “No one has to carry out orders that violate the law, or our Constitution.” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is pissed. He has referred to the participants as the “Seditious Six,” and CNN is reporting that he is considering punishments for participant Sen. Mark Kelly specifically, “that range from reducing the retired US Navy captain’s rank and pension to prosecuting him under military law.” That sounds like something a dictator-loving bootlicker would do, Pete!

Well, Looky Here: Our very own editor in chief, Hannah Murphy Winter, is in the Guardian this morning. The newspaper partnered with The Stranger for a piece about Mayor-elect Katie Wilson and how her years of organizing experience helped her win the mayoral election. (Despite Mayor Harrell’s multi-million dollar attempts to paint Wilson as an inexperienced, gasp, mother.) Read it in the Guardian! Or read it in The Stranger, too. Read it in both places, actually.

Washington State Sues Trump: Our very own (very handsome) Attorney General Nick Brown is leading a multistate lawsuit in response to the Trump administration’s new homelessness funding restrictions, the Seattle Times reports. A policy shift could deny $120 million in annual homelessness funding for Washington State, and, Brown said, “tens of thousands of people would likely have nowhere to live.” This is the 45th lawsuit filed by Brown against the Trump administration—the AG office has a tracker here. Get ‘em, Brown. More on this from Staff Writer Micah Yip later today!

Speaking of Pacific Northwest States Suing the Trump Administration: Yesterday, our besties at Portland Mercury reported that Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and district attorneys from Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties sent a joint letter to the US Department of Justice demanding that they “immediately halt unlawful and reckless actions by federal officers operating in Oregon.” The letter went on to say, “Any such investigations revealing criminal conduct by individual federal officers will be referred to the district attorney to evaluate for prosecution.” A US DOJ spokesperson confirmed they received the letter, but declined to comment. Get ‘em, Oregon.

 

Oregon’s Attorney General and Portland area DAs just told the feds they’ll prosecute excessive force by federal agents in the state—citing evidence from the trial that shut down Trump’s National Guard plan for Portland.

Deadly Fire Destroys Hong Kong High-Rises: At least 13 people are dead, including one firefighter, after a fire tore through several high-rise apartment buildings in Hong Kong. The New York Times says the towers, known as Wang Fuk Court, include about 2,000 apartments, and were sheathed in bamboo scaffolding. Firefighters have not been able to access many parts of the buildings due to the high temperatures and falling debris, and it’s not clear how many people may have gotten trapped inside.

A Grifter Grifts: Elon Musk’s Tesla tunnel in Nashville is a total disaster. The excavating company working on the Boring Company’s Music City Loop walked off the job Monday after “months of safety and financial issues with Musk’s company.” Willie Shane, leader of the crew hired to dig the nine-mile tunnel, told the Nashville Banner: “We were really skeptical from the beginning, and then since then, things pretty much just went downhill.”

Park Prices Soar: Starting January 1, foreign tourists visiting National Parks will be charged a $100 “America First” surcharge. The NYT says that’s “three to five times the typical entry fee for US residents.” Of course, US tourism is already down. This probably won’t help the fact that, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, “the United States was the only one of 184 countries projected to have a decline in international visitor spending.” The Trump administration is full of geniuses.

Zahid Chaudhry Could Be Home by Thanksgiving: The Army veteran and husband of former Congressional candidate Melissa Chaudhry has been detained by ICE since August despite the fact that he’s a legal permanent resident. And because he suffers from thyroid eye disease and hasn’t had treatment while detained, his vision is deteriorating. He may be released as soon as this week, but it may be too late to save his eyesight. Stranger contributor Carolyn Bick has more here.

How ‘Bout Them Epstein Files? On Monday, the US Justice Department “renewed its request to unseal grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking cases,” according to the AP. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed last week, requires that the Justice Department” release Epstein-related files in a searchable and downloadable format by December 19.”

We’ve Got Crabs: An invasive species of European green crabs, specifically. They’re “one of the world’s most harmful marine species,” and researchers say they’re in the Salish Sea. According to the Seattle Times, Tulalip Tribes also reported “detection of a green crab in the southern Whidbey Basin at Mission Beach” earlier this year. They “damage bed sediments, leading to the loss of eelgrass, an essential habitat for Dungeness crab and Pacific salmon.” Get outta here, crabbies!

  1. Donald Trump to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger: “I just want to find 11,780 votes.”

    Apparently, not a crime. Go figure.

    Since the Slog comment threads have become little more than a platform for MAGA concern trolls, I look forward to a full frontal assault of gaslighting about how our legal system works and how stupid we are to think it should work otherwise.

  2. Let’s actually just remove the serial fraudster and identity thief Chaudhry to his home country before he spontaneously develops any more medical conditions.

  3. I don’t hate the idea of an international traveler surcharge at America’s most popular national parks. I do hate the idea that there is free entry to them on Trump’s birthday, like he’s fucking Teddy Roosevelt or something. Dude hasn’t hiked an inch in his life.

  4. From the linked Seattle Times article:

    “Jennifer Schlenske, executive director of Justice Housing Yakima, said giving people housing allows them to be stabilized while they are offered other services like substance abuse treatment and job assistance.”

    Yes, but that doesn’t address the severely drugged homeless who can’t manage the simple coming and going to an apartment with a key. For this subset, there needs to be a group housing with medical care and that needs a significant portion of homeless funding.

    Victim of Seattle park shooting questions why charges haven’t been filed against shooter

    November 25, 2025

    “SEATTLE — A man who survived being shot five times at a Seattle park earlier this year is questioning why the man who shot him hasn’t been charged with a crime.

    The shooting happened on the evening of Aug. 16 at Golden Gardens Park when a 35-year-old man named Yordano was shot during a baby shower for his wife.

    Yordano, who asked to only be identified by his first name, was hospitalized and underwent multiple surgeries. He’s now returned home to recover.”

    “Yordano said that during the baby shower, another group approached his family and began making racial remarks. The fight escalated when someone in the opposing group pulled out a gun and threatened his wife, Yordano said.”

    “This was totally senseless,” he said. “There was no reason for him to shoot me, and to shoot me five times – he was trying to kill me, I have no doubt.”

    “Seattle police officers who were responding to the shooting located the suspect’s car and conducted a traffic stop. At the time, police said they detained the shooter and recovered the gun that was used to shoot Yordano.

    After being questioned by detectives, police said the shooter was released pending further investigation. Four months later, Seattle police said they did not have an update on the case.

    The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said the case has not been referred to them for charges.”

    https://komonews.com/news/local/seattle-park-shooting-king-county-prosecuting-attorneys-office-kcpao-35-year-old-man-golden-gardens-yolando-gun-violence-detectives-investigation-hospitalized

    Anyone with any common sense, who isn’t a totally typical naive Seattle White-Guilt “progressive” idiot, knows that if the “group” that approached this Cuban Latino immigrant and his family while making “racial remarks” were a group of White people, then every media outlet in the country would have been screaming about it non-stop since he was shot back in August.

  6. @1, That pesky Constitution gets in the way of how you think things should work.

    Yes Georgia could (and in my view should) continue the prosecution in spite of the tremendously poor, unethical, and legally damaging to the case, conduct of Fannie Willis.

    That said, Georgia, assuming they could win a conviction, would find itself in the same boat as NY. How does a state punish a sitting President, elected, and empowered by the Federal Constitution, who has not been removed from office by the Senate? How do they even compel such a Federal officer to appear? Send the Georgia National Guard on a snatch an grab mission to the White House to go up against the Secret Service and Federal troops?

    Our Constitution is, on balance, is a fine document; however, it did not contemplate or allow for a state to assert jurisdiction and supremacy over the Federal government’s power and sovereignty, in order to prosecute a Federal officer for a state crime, without the Feds cooperation and consent. So we need to amend it.

    Since roughly 50% of the federal voters in the last Presidential election aren’t interested in exposing the person they elected to such state criminal action, good luck with that.

  9. Apparently under Noisy Creek Publishing, The Stranger’s writers have been reigned in from grievance journalism on police misconduct. There was a time where complaining about this case would have been half the SLOG or a stand-alone story.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/redmond-police-officer-not-justified-in-fatal-2020-shooting-inquest-jury-finds/

    In this case, it would have been the right thing, not grievance journalism, for The Stranger to condemn the officer and Redmond PD for this woman’s death. But Noisy Creek apparently has made it clear to its staff to leave such stories alone.

    Unfortunately, for the reasons noted in the link, no criminal prosecution will be forthcoming. Citizens, employed as police, have 4th and 5th Amendment civil rights like all other citizens. That means the remedies are civil (to the tune of $7.5 million) and terminating the officer’s employment for cause.

  10. “yeah

    Sharpie

    us poor, White

    Folk’re thee Most

    Oppressed peeps in

    thee fucking Universe.

    we’ll be Certain to

    about it.”

    None of your idiotic drivel negates the fact that if it had been a group of Whites who had shot Yordano while making “racial remarks”, The Stranger and pretty much every other media outlet would have “made a furor” about it, nonstop, for weeks and weeks at least. I don’t recall The Stranger even mentioning the incident, and a Google search reveals nothing (of course).

  11. @6, Civil rights and all that crap. Innocent until proven guilty. 4th and 5th Amendment.

    So police had reasonable suspicion to make a stop. They didn’t apparently get anyone in the car to turn on anyone else, so they had no probable cause to arrest the shooter since they didn’t have evidence of who in the car fired the gun, whether others in the car were complicit, or involuntarily along for the ride. None of them, other than the driver, who had to express himself by providing license, registration, and insurance, had to say a word.

    Apparently police could not find video showing who the shooter was. The victim and witnesses apparently could not identify the shooter.

    So police followed the Constitution and made no arrest. Kind of hard to fault them for that. They should be praised for that, even if the shooter has skated and the victim isn’t getting justice.

  12. @10 – The Stranger didn’t make a stink about it, or even mention it at all (according to Google and a search of The Stranger using its search feature), because Andrea Churna, the victim, is White, simple as.

  13. @10 & 11

    and yet

    here you two Are

    about how this pub. NEVER

    keep trying!

    they Appreciate ALL

    Your Clicks! (KA-CHINGa!)

  14. @14 – since you are obviously rather “slow”, I will explain it again:

    If it had been a group of Whites who had approached Yordano and his family while making “racial remarks”, and then one of that group shot Yordano 5 times, nearly killing him, The Stranger would have mentioned it at least once, and it also would have made national news.

    The Stranger and the national news never mentioned it once, because it goes against the “progressive narrative”.

  15. @14, So how many soldiers, IDF military units, and military commanders have been indicted for war crimes?

    How is all that “human rights” violations screaming working out? If your assertions were correct with regards to unlawful uses of military force in Gaza, where are the indictments of the perpetrators (not just a select few politicians and leaders of Israel and Hamas)? If it was as widespread as you have kept claiming, where are the charges against the perpetrators. South Africa, the U.N., and human rights organizations have been strangely quiet in international courts.

  16. Mark Kelly cannot be recalled and subjected to kangaroo court w/ Hegseth as judge-jury-executioner because he is elected to office. Imagine if Trump could have all ex-military Ds in congress called up to active duty and out of the house/senate. His margin would get a lot more comfortable.

  17. Girmay is getting dragged by progressives all over social media for appointing a Microsoftie (anti-Palestine???) to his transition team. Feels like Bob Ferguson all over again.

  18. While the message of Mark Kelly and the others on military orders was correct, it’s naive to think that the Trump admin wouldn’t see it as trolling and predictably overreact. My goodness.

  19. boatgeek, this was my reaction to “it’s naive to think that the Trump admin wouldn’t see it as trolling and predictably overreact.” The way I would put it is, you’d have to be incredibly naïve to think anyone could be that naïve.

    Not that I think “Phoebe” is naïve. Just the opposite. I have to admit, I admire this dude’s intellect. It takes a certain comedic genius to come up with statements that are this–for lack of a better term and not meaning it in a disparaging way–dumb. I know I’m not capable of it.

  20. @22/23 – You fellas just proved my point. It just all amounts to an unforced error, or needless bickering, over what military rules everyone knows.

    Kelly et all mistakenly assume that the infrequent one-offs (unlawful orders) are an issue.

  21. 23 are you having a stroke? It’s almost like you’re having a completely different conversation than everyone else, beginning with your first comment @20 where you are responding to an observation no one made. You’re always serving word salad but you’re even more incoherent than usual

  22. @23 Oh, it wasn’t an unforced error by anyone but Trump. He should have let it lie and it probably would have gone unnoticed. Kelly won’t be harmed by an “investigation”–he’s very well protected by the actual, you know, law and stuff. It’s theoretically possible that Whiskey Pete could knock down his rank a few, but that won’t have any real consequences and would likely get overturned in a lawsuit.

    The time to nip unconstitutional/illegal orders is when they’re first issued, not to try to walk back a lot when they become frequent. Kelly and the others knew exactly what they were doing and got the best possible reaction (for them).

  23. @25 @26, hey, I’ve got to stand up for “Phoebe” this time. “Phoebe” writes @23: “It just all amounts to an unforced error, or needless bickering, over what military rules everyone knows.”

    “Phoebe”‘s right. Frankly, I haven’t seen such needless bickering since the days of that uppity, young black man, MLK, Jr.

    BTW, “Phoebe,” please promise me one thing. If these Slog comment threads ever do get shut down, please start your own blog where you can share your keen observations with the world. In fact, you could call it “Needless Bickering.” I recommend checking if the domain needlessbickering.ai is already taken.

  24. @29 Maybe read the room the first time that your joke falls flat in the middle of the floor and nobody laughs. We all saw it before. Repeating it doesn’t make you look clever.

  25. @12 “Apparently police could not find video showing who the shooter was. The victim and witnesses apparently could not identify the shooter. So police followed the Constitution and made no arrest. Kind of hard to fault them for that.”

    Nope.

    “Officers found the car at 28th Avenue Northwest and Northwest Market Street. Police performed a high-risk, felony traffic stop and detained three individuals. Officers identified and arrested the shooter and recovered a handgun.”

    https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2025/08/17/detectives-continue-to-investigate-shooting-at-golden-gardens-park/

    There is no reason at all for the cops to have dropped the ball so dramatically in this case, other than pure incompetence.

  26. @15 How do you know the shooter isn’t white? Sincerely asking. (“Because the Stranger would’ve covered the story if he were” is not an answer.)

  27. Translated @33 “I know because it would upset my carefully-constructed grievance-based world view otherwise, and Lord knows I can’t have that! Assume first, ask questions never!”

  28. @31, And yet Prosecutors have not yet sought a warrant for the person’s arrest. They can’t, or won’t, overcome the presumption of innocence, including the presumption that the suspect fired for a lawful purpose.

    If that is the case, it would be like the reason that the Prosecutors declined to charge in the Redmond Cop case. I.e. They can’t disprove a reasonable belief that the shooter felt threatened with a felony or great personal injury (RCW 9A.16.050).

    Police file these things called reports and send them on to Prosecutors, yet someone, somewhere doesn’t think they have enough to get an arrest warrant and prosecute for assault.

    It isn’t enough to have probable cause that “A” fired the fatal shot that assaulted (or killed) “B”. They must also have probable cause that “A” had not reasonable basis to believe they were at imminent risk of a felony or great personal injury from “B”. That is an element of the crime of assault (or murder) as well.

  29. @37 “Police file these things called reports and send them on to Prosecutors, yet someone, somewhere doesn’t think they have enough to get an arrest warrant and prosecute for assault.”

    Again, nope.

    “Four months later, Seattle police said they did not have an update on the case. The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said the case has not been referred to them for charges.”

    That’s from the original link posted here. I know your goal is just to slob the cops regardless but it would really help if you bothered to know at all what you’re talking about.

  30. @35 I’ll bet you, but not $100: if you can’t prove the shooter is non-white you have to fuck off this site forever, no new accounts, nothing.

  31. Knifey, how many times does it have to be told? this is an alternative new BLOG – they cannot and will not report on everything you feel relevant or feel like they should be reporting on or ignoring bc of how you feel about it.

    Get over it, you fucking loser. It’s a blog. That’s it.

  32. @26: “Kelly and the others knew exactly what they were doing and got the best possible reaction (for them).”

    I guess so. It got Kelly a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

  33. GO, AG Nick Brown and Governor SuperBob Ferguson—kick serious MAGA butt!

    EDMONDS, Wash. — An elderly woman was violently robbed of her jewelry in the parking lot of WINCO today, according to the Edmonds Police Department.

    The victim, who was knocked to the ground during the assault, is reported to be okay. Authorities have released a photo of the suspect vehicle involved in the incident.

    SEE ALSO | Partially nude woman arrested after driving under influence of nitrous oxide ‘whippets’

    EPD officers and detectives are actively pursuing leads and collaborating with regional law enforcement to address what they say appears to be an organized group of people using distraction and deception tactics to rob victims.

    The suspects reportedly surveil their targets before approaching them, often using offers of electronics or other jewelry to confuse and distract.

    “Police said the suspects are frequently described as “having dark skin or being of Roma/Romani or Middle Eastern descent.” “

    Afghan national from Operation Allies Welcome arrested, charged for threatening to bomb Fort Worth, Texas

    Nov. 29, 2025

    An Afghan national was arrested after claiming he was building a bomb that was intended to target Fort Worth, Texas, in a video posted to TikTok this week.

    Mohammad Dawood Alokozay was apprehended on Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security after posting the video to his profile; he is being charged at the state level, Fox News reported.

    Alokozay came to the US in the wake of the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan as part of the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome, according to DHS.

    . . .

    He was arrested a day before Rahmandullah Lakanwal, 29, also an Afghan national who came to the US as part of Operation Allies Welcome, shot two National Guard troops in Washington, DC, on Nov. 26.

    “In the wake of yesterday’s report from Alex Horton and Ellen Nakashima of the Washington Post that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered Special Operations to kill the survivors of a September 2 strike on a small boat off Venezuela,

    the Senate and the House Armed Services Committees have announced they intend to conduct “vigorous oversight” and “gather a full accounting” of the operation.

    The two committees referred to the Department of Defense by that name, rather than by the “Department of War” rebrand Hegseth and Trump have pushed.

    Today former judge advocate generals (JAGs), military lawyers, in the Former JAGs Working Group issued a statement declaring that it unanimously

    “considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both,” and called for “anyone who issues or follows such orders [to] be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.”

    Multiple teens arrested after driving stolen SUV down Aurora Ave., shooting at police

    Sun, November 30, 2025 at 11:58 AM

    SEATTLE — A high-speed chase and gunfire exchange on Seattle’s I-5 freeway led to the arrest of multiple teenagers after they allegedly shot at a police officer from a stolen SUV.

    The incident unfolded on the night of Nov. 29, when Community Response Group (CRG) officers, conducting proactive patrols in North Seattle, attempted to stop a Dodge Durango SUV driving erratically and at high speed on Aurora Avenue North.

    The vehicle fled, and officers did not pursue it immediately.

    Shortly after, plain police vehicles located the SUV parked in South Seattle. As patrol officers were directed to the scene, the SUV began moving again.

    While traveling south on I-5, someone inside the SUV fired several rounds at a CRG officer in a plain vehicle. The officer was unharmed, and no Seattle police officers returned fire.

    However, a witness vehicle was struck, and bullet fragments landed in the witness’s lap, according to the police report.

    The pursuit continued south on I-5 into Tukwila, where officers executed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver at South 188th Street and Military Road South, bringing the chase to an end.

    Police apprehended several suspects, including three teen girls, ages 15 to 17, and a 16-year-old boy who attempted to flee the vehicle.

    A handgun was recovered near the abandoned SUV, and a second gun was found on the teen boy, who also had a felony warrant for robbery. Two additional male suspects escaped on foot, evading capture despite a search involving multiple police agencies and a K9 team.

    The SUV was transported to the Vehicle Processing Room for further evidence collection. Meanwhile, a man with a gunshot wound to his leg arrived at Valley Medical Center in Renton, prompting GVRU detectives to investigate the nature of his injury.

    The four teen suspects were booked into juvenile detention at the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children & Family Justice Center, facing charges including two counts of assault in the first degree, possession of a stolen vehicle, unlawful possession of a firearm, and eluding a police vehicle.

    The investigation remains open and active, with GVRU detectives leading the case. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000, with the option to remain anonymous.

  64. @81 — Answer: Just Like this:

    “Our strategy

    should be not only to con-

    front empire, but to lay siege to it.

    To deprive it of oxygen.

    To shame it. To

    mock it. With

    our art, our

    music, our

    literature,

    our

    stubbornness,

    our joy, our brilliance,

    our sheer relentlessness . . .

    and our ability to tell our own stories.

    Stories that are different from the ones

    we’re being brainwashed to believe.

    The corporate revolution will col-

    lapse if we refuse to buy what

    they are selling

    their ideas, their

    version of history, their

    wars, their weapons, their

    notion of inevitability. Remem-

    ber this: We be many and they be few.

    They need us

    more than

    we need

    them.

    Another world is not only possible,

    she is on her way. On a quiet

    day, I can hear her

    breathing.”

  65. @Bi-pedo/Knife…

    So you’re now switching back between ALL CAPS monosyllable words, to copy-pasta from sources that are not the best places to get honest news.

    Does “DID NOT READ” really mean that you CAN NOT READ? I mean, you seem to get the idea of words, but boy, howdy… you really seem to suck at reading comprehension.

    Go copy paste some more stuff… or just start your own fucking blog. Or just answer me “NO” again… at least I’ll know you are back in your toddler phase. Maybe I should refer to you as ‘Bi-polar/Knife’ from now on (I still like Bi-pedo, tho)…

    You never did answer my question about having multiple online personalities leading to schizoprenia…

  66. @97: That doesn’t matter, Sillyputty dear, when your literacy level s of a six year old.

    Now go eat your kerfuffle paste like an obedient MAGA tool.

  67. @100: Actually, you could use a colonoscopy, a frontal lobotomy, and castration, KKKool-Aid dear.

    But FIRST—pull your MAGA-blinded head out of your ass before you seriously hurt yourself.
