🚨Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson loses cool at Monday presser when confronted on why the five-hour delay on communicating details of Seattle Center shooting; city staff abruptly ends presser. Wilson denies that Gov. Ferguson's office delayed Sunday's presser for photo op. Governor Bob Ferguson and Rep Pramila Jayapal attended presser but after city staff abruptly ended presser, didn't contribute to the presser. Still no answer on who actually gave the order to delay communicating details of Seattle Center shooting to the press on Sunday. Also, Wilson appeared to not be aware of City's emergency text blast feature to residents.

🚨#BreakingNews Trump Fires WA State Court-Appointed Interim U.S. Attorney Minutes After Swearing-In Federal judges in Washington state appointed a new interim U.S. attorney Wednesday morning, who President Donald J Trump fired just minutes later. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington swore in Roger Rogoff, a former King County Superior Court judge, at 7:40 a.m. as its choice to lead the office. The White House fired him by 8:24 a.m. Trump’s preferred candidate, Neil Floyd, has served as the top federal prosecutor in the district since October 2025. He was initially appointed interim U.S. attorney and later named first assistant after his statutory term expired in February. Senior Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., had said she would block Floyd’s confirmation if nominated, and his name was never advanced to the Senate. Under Senate tradition, home-state senators can use a “blue slip” process to signal opposition to U.S. attorney nominees, often preventing hearings in the Judiciary Committee chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The judges acted under a federal law allowing district courts to appoint an interim U.S. attorney when a vacancy continues. Trump holds constitutional authority to remove such officials. Rogoff told The Seattle Times he is preparing to sue Trump and the Justice Department to regain the position.

![🚨#BreakingNews: Wilson’s Web of “Unawareness”: Mayor Contradicts Herself on Why Public Was Left in the Dark After Shooting “Miscommunication” and “I am not aware” says Seattle mayor when pressed again of public information delays of shooting. Wilson provides contradicting remarks to what she knew Sunday night. During Friday’s (July 31st) presser Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson when asked if she is telling the truth on whether her office told SPD to delay Sunday evening’s presser to wait for “dignitaries,” Wilson shared that she “learned at 9.40 p.m., five minutes before 9.45 p.m. [presser], that a press conference was being planned at Seattle Center” and that if she “had known that next to no information” other than her “own office's blog post” earlier that evening “had been shared with the public since the time of the incident at 6 p.m., I would have immediately said, yes, tell the press everything you know.” Then minutes later when responding to a reporter’s question on how can she not know that information about the shooting was not being communicated to the public on Sunday night, Mayor Wilson responded, “The reason why we put out a statement on our website around 8.45 p.m. is because at that point we did realize that nothing was getting out there.” Mayor Wilson appears to have contradicted herself on what she knew when on Sunday night about the lack of public information being shared on the Bite of Seattle shooting. Earlier she said to one reporter that she found out at 9:40 p.m. that “next to no information” was shared to the public about the shooting yet minutes later she admitted that her office posted at 8:45 p.m. about the shooting because “at that point we did realize that nothing was getting out there” and that the “the public was desperate for information.” Therefore, by no later than 8:45 p.m., Mayor Wilson was aware that little to no information was being shared to the public and that she was the arbiter of that information. Mayor Wilson also mentioned that at 9:40 p.m., five minutes before the scheduled 9:45 p.m. presser that “I personally at 9:40 p.m. was not aware that basic information such as the status of Seattle Center campus and information about potential suspects at large had not gotten out in any form.” This coupled with the fact that she said that also at 9:40 p.m., she was unaware of the 9:45 p.m. scheduled presser, may reasonably indicate that she needed more time to be brought up to speed on the situation. Yet, Mayor Wilson continues to deny she delayed the dissemination of information to the public regarding the shooting on Sunday night. The delay in the Sunday presser for “dignitaries” was said by a SPD spokesperson and also captured on video. Later in Friday’s presser Mayor Wilson was asked that during Monday’s presser how could she not know that the 19-year-old who died at Seattle Center was actually part of the shooting when the King County Prosecutor's Office court documents stated the 19-y/o’s involvement which were released shortly after the presser, inferring that the prosecutor’s office knew hours earlier before Monday’s presser. Mayor Wilson again responded, “I was not aware of that information at that time.” Also, during the presser Mayor Wilson said that the public information “should have been shared earlier. It could have been shared in a number of forms. Social media, the SPD blotter, our emergency alert system, potentially an off-site press conference.” During Monday’s presser mayor was again “unaware” of the City’s emergency alert system. 🟥Below is Q&A from Friday’s presser surrounding the Sunday Presser delay and delay of public information: 👉Reporter: You have command staff who was there. Many of them are here tonight. Again, we're hearing that your office told them to hold off immediate briefings. Are you telling the truth? when it comes to that night about your office telling them to hold off? Wilson: I learned at 9.40 p.m., five minutes before 9.45, that a press conference was being planned at Seattle Center. At that time, if I had known that next to no information, apart from my own office's blog post, had been shared with the public since the time of the incident at 6 p.m., I would have immediately said, yes, tell the press everything you know. Yeah, in that, absolutely no direction for my office not to share information. Nope. 👉Reporter: How did you not know? Did you not turn on the TV? Did you not look at half of your phone? Wilson: I was not watching the TV that evening. 👉Reporter: Did no one in your administration know that no information was going out to the public about a mass shooting? Wilson: “The reason why we put out a statement on our website around 8.45 p.m. is because at that point we did realize that nothing was getting out there, and we knew that the public was desperate for information. So we put out a statement with the best information we had at that time from SPD, which, as everyone knows, included some misinformation about the number of suspects who had been taken into custody. “Communications were flying around and I personally at 940 was not aware that basic information such as the status of Seattle Center campus and information about potential suspects at large had not gotten out in any form. “And that information should have been shared earlier. It could have been shared in a number of forms.

🚨Mayor Wilson double downs Tuesday and rejects claim her staff delayed Sunday briefing for ‘dignitaries’ yet falls flat on reasoning, still evades on who made the decision Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Tuesday again denied that anyone in her office blocked the Seattle Police Department from holding an immediate news conference Sunday night after the gang-related mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival. A reporter confronted Wilson with new information that between 7:45 and 8 p.m., alleging that someone from the mayor’s office told SPD leadership they could not proceed with a press conference that police wanted to hold right away, citing the arrival of “dignitaries.” “That is not my understanding, no,” Wilson said. Mayor Wilson told reporters Tuesday that there was extensive back-and-forth among her office, police and state and federal elected officials as they coordinated a response. Wilson said authorities were conducting an active search for suspects at Seattle Center and that she was told it would not be helpful for her or other elected officials to arrive at the scene during that time. “We went back and forth and eventually landed on an appropriate time to address the press and to share information,” she said. “That is my understanding.” Pressed further on whether her office issued any order that effectively prevented police from speaking sooner, Wilson referred reporters to her earlier answer. A second reporter shared with Mayor Wilson at the presser that "what makes it difficult to believe" her explanation on the delay is that SPD personnel have received extensive training and paid tens of thousands of dollars to consultants on crisis communication, to conducting pressers without her nor other "dignitaries" needed to be present. Wilson has and is facing repeated criticism about the delay of the presser to be used as a photo op for politicians instead of expediting the pubic safety information to residents. The delay in waiting for "dignitaries" statement from an SPD spokesperson was also captured by Jeremy Harris of KOMO News later Sunday night on video.

🚨Seattle-based manufacturer challenges Chinese dominance of public safety drones Over the weekend, 25-year-old Blake Resnick, founder and CEO of Seattle-based BRINC Drones, appeared on Fox & Friends to lay bare a stark reality that eight in ten American public safety agencies rely on drones manufactured in China, leaving critical response tools vulnerable to foreign influence. He is aiming to change that with BRINC Drones. The interview, aired December 6, arrived amid escalating U.S. scrutiny of Chinese tech dominance. Just weeks earlier, Congress embedded a potential ban on new DJI drone sales in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, set to activate December 23, 2025. DJI, the Shenzhen-based behemoth, commands roughly 70% of the global commercial drone market—a $18.6 billion arena in 2024—fueled by billions in Chinese government subsidies. Resnick, whose firm holds a mere 7% slice of the U.S. public safety segment, called the imbalance "not a good state of affairs." BRINC's Responder drone is compact enough to launch from an armored vehicle's roof, the quadcopter targets structures harboring armed suspects. A specialized glass-breaching tool shatters entry points, allowing the device to slip indoors where its onboard LIDAR sensor maps floor plans in real time—delivering tactical intel without endangering officers. Already, BRINC units have resolved dozens of incidents autonomously, from remote car crashes to welfare checks, arriving on scene before human responders in some cases. Resnick enrolled in college at 14, only to drop out months later, deeming it "an indirect path" to his passion: engineering tools that save lives. He started BRINC after the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting claimed that 60 lives. By 2019, BRINC was already generating revenue and shipping drones, initially sustained by early sales before raising significant funding from investors including OpenAI’s Sam Altman and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Today, valued at $480 million after $157 million in funding, the company serves 700 clients, including the Redmond Police Department and the New York Police Department. 👉BRINC's website: 🎬Fox News

🚨BREAKING: Democrat-controlled Senate passes multi-billion-dollar Millionaires’ Tax With a vote of 27-22, the Washington State Senate on Monday passed Senate Bill 6346, a proposal to impose a 9.9% tax on individuals earning more than $1 million annually. Three Democrat lawmakers—Sens. Adrien Cortes (D-Battle Ground), Deb Krishnadasen (D-Gig Harbor) and Drew Hansen (D-Bainbridge Island) — joined all Republicans in voting against the measure. Supporters cast the bill as a vital step toward fixing what they call a regressive tax system and funding essential services like education and health care, while critics warned it would hammer small businesses, drive away jobs, and set the stage for broader income taxes despite voters’ repeated rejections. SB 6346—also known as the “Millionaires’ Tax”— introduced by Senate Majority Leader Jaime Pedersen (D-Capitol Hill), would start with federal adjusted gross income and make adjustments to arrive at “Washington taxable income.” It excludes long-term capital gains unless already subject to the state’s capital gains tax, adds back certain state and local taxes deducted federally, and provides a $1 million standard deduction per household—adjusted for inflation from 2030—and a $50,000 charitable deduction. Non-residents of Washington state pay only on Washington-sourced income, apportioned based on activity within the state. The Millionaires’ Tax would take effect January 1, 2028, with first returns due in 2029. It exempts real estate sales, qualified family-owned small businesses, and retirement income from public pensions. Estimated to affect about 30,000 taxpayers—roughly 0.5% of households—it is expected to generate approximately $3.7 billion annually, with 5% ($175 million) dedicated to county public defense and the remainder to the general fund for education, health care, and other services. However, these monies are not earmarked for education nor health care and can be used as the legislature sees fit when it is allocated to the state’s general fund. The bill starts with federal adjusted gross income, currently excludes all long-term capital gains and losses initially, then adds back only net long-term capital gains subject to Washington’s capital gains tax (plus the standard and charitable deductions that reduced the taxable amount). Thus, real estate sales that qualify for exemption under the capital gains rules—such as qualified family-owned small businesses or residential property—remain untaxed, avoiding any undoing of exemptions. During the hearing on Feb. 6, it was revealed that although SB-6346 targets only individuals with at least $1 million in annual income, no current law can permanently bind future legislatures should a future legislature expand the tax to other income brackets. The bill now heads to the House for vote. 🎬Source: TVW

🚨BREAKING: CONSERVATIVE FIREBRAND SCOTT PRESLER TO STORM WA STATE TO PUSH FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY Scott Presler, the unstoppable force behind Donald J Trump's 2024 landslide victories in battleground states, just dropped a bombshell announcement that he is packing his bags and heading to Washington State to launch a signature blitz for Initiative Measure IL26-126, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and could lead to the cancellation of registrations for those unable to provide it, "Washington's been a playground for the radical left's voter fraud factory for too long," Presler stated in his announcement on X. "I'm coming to fight – and we're going to WIN!" The initiative, filed by the Washington State Republican Party in 2025, seeks to align state law with federal requirements but has drawn criticism from groups like the League of Women Voters, progressive organizations, and Democratic-leaning commentators. The League of Women Voters allege that the initiative would "disenfranchise a significant number of persons who are legally eligible to cast a ballot" by creating barriers for those without immediate access to citizenship documents. Northwest Progressive Institute call the initiative an "enthusiastic Trump backer" effort by GOP Chair Jim Walsh that's unnecessary and harmful to voter access. Presler, who is gay, co-founded and chaired Gays for Trump and founded and now leads Early Vote Action, has focused on voter registration, turnout, and grassroots mobilization for Republican causes throughout the US. To qualify for the November 2026 ballot, the initiative needs approximately 418,000 valid signatures by July 2026. Video Source: ThePersistence

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP TO CONSIDER PULLING 2026 WORLD CUP FROM SEATTLE IF PUBLIC SAFETY NOT ADDRESSED BY LOCAL LEADERS During the signing of several executive orders today in the Oval Office, President Donald J Trump, when answering a reporter’s question about whether he would consider moving the 2026 FIFA World Cup from cities pushing “back against your immigration” and “crime initiatives,” he replied, “I guess. But we're going to make sure they're safe. They're run by radical left lunatics and they don't know what they're doing.” The reporter specifically referred to the cities of Seattle and San Francisco in his question. Seattle is scheduled to host six 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at Lumen Field between June and July 2026 as part of the joint U.S.-Canada-Mexico tournament. While President Trump lacks direct authority to unilaterally shift games, he could apply pressure to the FIFA Council to do so. FIFA and federal funding (including $625 million for security) have already been allocated. Losing these matches would equate to an estimated $1 billion in total economic impact to King County alone according to Visit Seattle. This includes an estimated $100+ million in direct state and local taxes. 🟥PRESIDENT TRUMP: “It will be safe for the World Cup. If I think it isn't safe, we'll move it into a different city. Absolutely. We'll take the World Cup. If I think it's not, it's actually a very fair question. If I think it's not safe, we're going to move it out of that city…. “if any city we think is going to be even a little bit dangerous for the World Cup or for the Olympics, you know, where they have Olympic overthrow, right? But for the World Cup in particular, because they're playing in so many cities, we won't allow it to go. We'll move it around a little bit. But I hope that's not going to happen.”

🚨ICE detains Seattle business owner; Sen. Murray demands his return from Texas U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Eduardo Aguirre Esparza, a Seattle remodeling company owner, on Thursday and later transferred him to Texas, according to Sen. Patty Murray, vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, who added that Aguirre has no criminal history and was pursuing a legal pathway to permanent residency. Aguirre, an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the Seattle area for 23 years and is married to a U.S. citizen, was taken to the Northwest ICE Processing Center. Early Saturday, he was flown out of Washington state on an ICE Air flight without notice to his family or attorney, Murray’s office said. He is now being held in Texas. In a statement Monday, Sen. Murray called the detention needless and demanded DHS return Aguirre to Washington state so he can have access to counsel and due process. “Flying Eduardo to Texas away from his lawyers to try and deport him is fundamentally wrong,” Murray said. Her office said family members believe ICE may seek an expedited removal hearing.

🚨#BreakingNews Thurston County judge blocks law allowing state commission to decertify elected sheriffs Judge Christine Schaller halted portions of Senate Bill 5974, signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson on April 1, one day before it was set to take effect. The measure would have required sheriffs and other law enforcement leaders to maintain certification with the Criminal Justice Training Commission, with decertification automatically creating a vacancy in elected office. 🟦 JUDGE CHRISTINE SCHALLER: "The statute allows an elected sheriff to have their peace officer certificate revoked by an administrative body based upon unconstitutional language. Such a revocation under the new law would result in a vacancy of the office of sheriff with the sheriff being removed. This also allows, again, an elected official, someone chosen by the voters, to be removed in the same way as an employee of theirs, another peace officer employee, could be removed. "And again, although a sheriff could seek judicial review, that would be after a decision was made by an administrative body and the vacancy and removal would be immediate. And the decision to revoke an elected official certificate would not be by someone in an elected and or public office, which is contrary to how removal of elected officials is treated by the constitution and, as far as the court is aware, for every other elected official in the state of Washington. " This process authorizes arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement. I find that the plaintiffs have a well-grounded fear of imminent invasion of their rights based upon what they have set forth in their statements and based upon my finding as it relates to number one, because the law is set to go into effect tomorrow. "And I find that the acts complained of are either resulting in or will result in actual and substantial injury. It impacts current sheriffs, the four, who have indicated they are seeking re-election. It affects their ability to fill out a declaration of candidacy form to declare themselves as candidates for the next election cycle. "Those three factors are also considered in light of the equitable factors, including balancing the relative interests of the parties and the interests of the public. The state has properly argued that this is a law that was passed by the Washington State Legislature. The legislators are elected by the people of the State of Washington and it should be given its due weight. And I have done that. "I also have considered the interest of the public in the right to allow a free elective process as well. And the public has a significant interest in the right to a free elective process, the freedom to choose candidates, and the freedom for candidates to set forth that they want to run for political office. "Accordingly, I find that those equitable interests weigh in favor of the plaintiff, and I will grant the preliminary injunction." 👇FULL VIDEO: 🎬 Dana Cruz, Puget Sound Patriots

![🚨Brandi Kruse denies opposing gay marriage in confrontation with protester Brandi Kruse told a group of protesters at the Snohomish County Republican Party that she has never opposed gay marriage and accused her critics of spreading lies to frighten people. She remained steadfast of her support for initiative IL26-638, declaring that men are not women and should not compete in women’s sports. “I don’t oppose gay marriage. I’ve never opposed gay marriage,” Kruse said during Saturday's exchange in the City of Snohomish. “If you took me, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton and put us in a room, only one of us in that room will have [n]ever opposed gay marriage. I have no interest in changing the laws on gay marriage.” Kruse added that the false claim that she opposes same-sex marriage was first made by "No Hate Washington state" the very group of which the signs by the protesters read. “You guys need to stop spreading lies and stop supporting organizations that lie to make people scared,” she said. “That’s all they do. They lie to make people scared. It’s wrong. … If you believe in what you’re saying, use the truth. Just debate based on the truth, and we won’t have any issues.” Both President Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton publicly opposed same-sex marriage for years before reversing course. Obama said during his 2004 Senate race and 2008 presidential campaign that marriage is “between a man and a woman.” He announced his support for gay marriage in May 2012, saying his views had evolved. Clinton supported the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act as first lady and described marriage in 2004 as “a sacred bond between a man and a woman.” She publicly backed same-sex marriage in a March 2013 video. President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act into law on Sept. 21, 1996. Between 2013 and 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, stating that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. Many (but not majority) gay and lesbian activists and intellectuals opposed same-sex marriage in the 1970s through the early 2000s, viewing it as a conservative, assimilationist "heteronormative" goal that clashed with the broader aims of gay liberation. Also, more many members of the gay community, marriage was seen as a middle-class, white, privileged issue during an AIDS crisis many LGBT people argued were of higher priority. Other parts of gay culture valued sexual openness and non-traditional relationships arguing that legal marriage would pressure conformity to monogamy and nuclear-family heteronormative ideals, marginalizing polyamorous, non-monogamous, or other consenting queer arrangements. However, opponents made a compelling argument tying the need for marriage equality to health insurance benefits, inheritance benefits, and tax benefits. Also, during the AIDS crisis, many LGBT partners were refused to be alongside their partners in hospitals--a privilege of being married.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2055890267715293318/amplify_video_thumb/2055884903632486400/img/-tIGLAFQ1b910KDg.jpg)
