Sunday on #TheDivide: @AGOWA Bob Ferguson explained why he believes a lawsuit to prevent USPS cuts is still necessary, despite postmaster general walking back plans to scale down operations before the 2020 election. (1/3)
Ferguson also commented on whether his lawsuit will seek to restore high-speed sorting machines that have already been dismantled. (2/3)
Ferguson acknowledged that his lawsuit will not prevent future cuts to USPS, and has no impact on ongoing problems with U.S. Postal Service funding - problems that will persist long after the 2020 election. #TheDivide #Q13FOX (3/3)
Sunday on #TheDivide, Washington's Republican Secretary of State @KimWyman12 condemned members of her own party who call mail-in voting into question: "I'm sure their base is going to love it." (1/3)
Wyman added, however, that there are legitimate concerns over how states new to mail-in voting will perform in November: "It's going to be a heavy lift for a number of states." (2/3)
Secretary of State Wyman also responded to recent comments that President Trump may not accept the results of the election should he lose. #TheDivide #Q13FOX (3/3)
(1/3) Commentary: Tomorrow, the @SeattleCouncil will vote to make cuts to @SeattlePD. It is the start of making good on a pledge to defund SPD by 50%.

(2/3) As part of the cuts, the @SeattleCouncil will do a whole bunch of things that don't actually accomplish anything protesters have demanded.
(3/3) So why would the @SeattleCouncil make cuts to @SeattlePD that manage to accomplish the exact opposite of everything they claim to care about? Because, as their fellow councilmember @D5Juarez said, "this is what happens when you write a check you can't cash."
THREAD: This is going to be a long one. But I want to take a few minutes to point out some of the obvious moral and logical shortcomings at Seattle City Hall. If the press doesn't do it, then who will? #TheDivide #Q13FOX #SeattleProtest #SeattleRiots
Let's start with Councilwoman @Lisa_Herbold, who only calls for peace in Seattle when it allows her to make a political point against the president.
And while Councilwoman Herbold speaks with absolute certitude about what's happening 200 miles away in Portland, she acts as if she can't possibly know for sure what's happening in the city she is elected to serve.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan joined #TheDivide this week. We discussed a video posted by @SeattlePD Chief @carmenbest, accusing the city of "relenting to severe public pressure" in abandoning the East Precinct. (1/4)
Mayor Durkan and I also discussed the decision to clear out from East Precinct and immediate area given what they called a "credible" threat of arson. Was that the best decision for public safety given adjoining apartments and businesses? #TheDivide #Q13FOX (2/4)
Will she support defunding @SeattlePD at 50%? Mayor Jenny Durkan said no. But said she wants the city to invest $100M per year for at least ten years in community programs. #Q13FOX #TheDivide (3/4)
Commentary: In times of crisis, sometimes what leaders don't say speaks louder than what they do say.
Like @GovInslee's claim to be blissfully unaware of the events unfolding in Seattle. (1/3) #TheDivide

Or like Seattle Councilwoman @TeresaCMosqueda's selective condemnation. (2/3)
And @WAGOP's inability to strongly condemn Tim Eyman's startling and hurtful words comparing #COVID19 restrictions to #GeorgeFloyd's death. (3/3)

#TheDivide: Seattle @MayorJenny Durkan and I discussed her decision to permanently close 20 miles of city streets to traffic. War on cars, or improving quality of life? (1/3)
More from Seattle @MayorJenny Durkan on decision to close 20 miles of city streets to cars. (2/3) #TheDivide #Q13FOX
Seattle @MayorJenny Durkan says she'll take me up on my offer of free labor if it means saving $200,000 in taxpayer money to hang up some signs closing 20 miles of city streets. I'll have my Carhartts ready, Madam Mayor! (3/3) #TheDivide #Q13FOX
I asked you to help me pay tribute to those working on the front lines of the #Coronavirus pandemic, and to the workers risking their health to fulfill essential duties. Here are a few of the people you wanted to thank. More in the thread. Keep em coming! #q13fox #thedivide
