"Seeing San Francisco make progress reminded me that Seattle has the talent and resources to do the same, perhaps even better. That is what made me frustrated. We should not have to accept people suffering on our streets and businesses struggling to stay open as conditions beyond our ability to change...
...Throughout the trip, I kept looking for a more complicated explanation for the difference between San Francisco and Seattle. Eventually, the answer became impossible to miss.
It was leadership."
Joe Nguyễn, former state Senator, WA state Commerce Secretary, and now CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, made a visit to San Francisco to see how they were able to put themselves on a path to solving their drug and homelessness crisis.
From facing drug addiction head on, to mandating accountability throughout the plethora of homelessness outreach and government agencies;
Those last three words "it was leadership" are all that stand in the way of Seattle putting itself on its own path to helping tens of thousands of people out of addiction and mental crisis.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is doing it.
So can Mayor Katie Wilson.

Still more Friday reading.
How do Republicans in WA win state-level elections going forward?
First, TELL THE TRUTH.
Second, champion excellence--not mediocrity--in WA public schools.
Third, stick to our principles on effective, TRANSPARENT government.
Fourth: Ignore anything Chris Vance and Bob Ferguson say.
"Trump is more important to the left than he is to the right. ...Washington state is neither a blue state nor a red state, it's a purple state that leans libertarian. And it really, really, really doesn't like Trump.
"The future of the Republican Party is to tell the truth—a challenging proposition in WA politics—and to stick to our core principles: limited transparent government, excellence in our public schools, safe neighborhoods...."

Single source, but highly reliable, shares that O'Hare is closing Runway 22R to park planes.
UPDATE: Multiple major U.S. airlines were preparing to tell travelers to stay home to prevent overcrowding at airports with little indication when the ground stop would be lifted and normal operations would resume. theaircurrent.com/feed/dispa…

Your hubby got blow jobs in the “People’s House.” And, in particular, the Oval Office. Ask me how I know?😎
You, in particular, should grasp full well that hosting state events, in tents, on the South Lawn with porta-potties is stupid. In fact, I remember you bitching about it.
His “gilded ballroom” is America’s. It’s brilliant. He probably won’t even get to use it.
Love ya,

The bottom line here is if pilots and ATC can’t talk, you can’t fly. Period.
This reminds me exactly of what happened on 9/11. I was flying for @Delta from Atlanta to LaGuardia. It’s real.

Seven-Time Deported Illegal Runs Over ICE Officer in Chicago - DHS
A federal immigration officer is recovering from injuries sustained in a vehicle assault while attempting to apprehended a criminal illegal alien in the sanctuary state of Illinois, authorities say.
The harrowing incident unfolded on Nov. 10 in Chicago.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pulled over Jose Juan Garnica-Naranjo during a targeted operation in the Windy City.
Garnica-Naranjo, a citizen of Mexico, has a criminal history that includes prior arrests for assault and domestic violence.
Officers approached Garnica-Naranjo’s vehicle and instructed him to turn the engine off, but the Mexican refused.
While officers were attempting to remove him, Garnica-Naranjo suddenly hit the gas with an officer partially trapped inside the vehicle.
The officer was thrown from the vehicle and then struck by it as Garnica-Naranjo sped away.
The Mexican was tracked down and apprehended later that day.
The officer was treated for a leg injury at a local hospital and then released.
Garnica-Naranjo was deported from the U.S. on seven occasions in 2013 before illegally entering for an eighth time at an unknown location and date.
“This illegal alien used his vehicle to assault one of our ICE officers, hospitalizing the officer,” said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
“This is just the latest example of the staggering rise in anti-ICE violence, with our officers facing a more than 1,600% increase in assaults against them. This is the result of anti-ICE rhetoric from sanctuary politicians like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.”
