  1. #DemocraticSocialists surge in mayoral races across the US as anti-Trump fervor rises

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "As #JaneeseLewisGeorge paves a path to the mayor’s office in #WashingtonDC, she’s told voters they could have it all.

    "Her unapologetically expansive, left-wing agenda includes subsidized or even free #childcare, increased down payment assistance for homebuyers and community resources to reduce crime, plus a promise to aggressively confront President Donald Trump’s attempts to reshape the nation’s capital.

    " 'People are tired of hearing what government can’t do. They want to hear what government can do,' Lewis George said in an interview before the city’s primary, where she defeated her Democratic opponents and positioned herself to win the general election in November in a city dominated by Democrats.

    "Lewis George’s victory signals a break with a quarter-century of centrist governance in Washington, and it puts her in the vanguard of democratic socialists who have ascended in urban politics over the last year. #ZohranMamdani toppled Andrew Cuomo, the scion of a political dynasty, on his way to becoming New York City mayor. #KatieWilson won an upset victory to lead Seattle last fall. And this month, #NithyaRaman clinched a spot in the November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass."

  6. Hundreds of happy people ride with Mayor Wilson to open Bicycle Weekends + A smaller group protested, including one with a neo-Nazi sign

    Hundreds of people biked with Mayor Katie Wilson to the opening celebration for the first Bicycle Weekend of 2026 Saturday. It was the mayor's first bike ride as mayor, she said, and she rode with her daughter on the back of a cargo bike. After Wilson, her daughter, and former City Councilmember Tammy Morales cut the ribbon, Wilson's daughter took the ceremonial first ride on her balance bike. "Before my daughter was born, biking was actually my main way of getting around this city for transportation, and it was also usually the fastest and most convenient way to get around," Mayor Wilson said during a short speech to the crowd gathered at the start. "It kept me active and outside in the fresh air and it helped me to feel connected to the city and to my communities. So it feels really really good to be back on a bike and here with all of you today." Mayor Katie Wilson rides down the Colman curves to the start of Bicycle Weekends. Not visible, but her daughter is riding with her on the back of the bike. The opening ride started at Judkins Park Station, went through the bike tunnel and down the Colman curves to Mount Baker Beach Park at the northern start of the car-free event. Seattle has been holding car-free days on this stretch of Lake Washington Boulevard since 1968, but Mayor Wilson expanded the number of events to cover every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day (except during SeaFair, which closes the road for its own purposes). "Expanding Bicycle Weekends was very important to me coming into office," Mayor Wilson said. "We heard from so many people that this event could be more consistent and reliable. So expanding to every weekend this summer means that more people can enjoy greater access to this beautiful park. People from all over Seattle can come here all summer long, people of all ages, to walk, bike, roll, push strollers, and let their kids run freely around without the fear of getting hit by a car."
