Seattle’s incoming mayor, Katie Wilson, will inherit a homelessness crisis that will define her ability to lead. Seattle’s homeless population needs more than another round of aspirational promises. They need and deserve an operational reset grounded in compassion, accountability, and the courage to confront realities the city has failed to address for years. She must replace press releases and ceremonial groundbreakings for housing that may never materialize with programs that support the homeless in reclaiming their lives from the grip of untreated mental illness, addiction, and dangerous encampments that have taken root throughout the city. The scale of Seattle’s crisis is staggering. HUD’s 2024 Point-in-Time count identified 16,868 people struggling with homelessness in King County — 7,058 sheltered and 9,810 unsheltered — yet even this understates the emergency. It omits the thousands of K-12 students and their families couch-surfing or scraping together money for a few nights in a motel. And at the current 23% growth rate, Mayor Wilson will walk into office confronting a humanitarian emergency approaching 22,500 people. Meanwhile, encampments proliferate, fentanyl deaths continue at historic highs, and families, businesses, and public workers bear the daily trauma of a system that is not working. For years, Seattle has clung to the comforting illusion that more subsidized housing units alone will solve homelessness. Despite billions in public spending, housing pipelines remain clogged, construction timelines stretch into decades, and operating costs soar. But for the majority of those living unsheltered — 78% of whom are struggling with serious mental illness or addiction — homelessness is not merely a housing shortage. It is the downstream consequence of untreated disease. Often further complicating their illnesses is a condition called anosognosia that prevents them from recognizing their own illness. Consequently, they decline help not because they choose the street, but because their minds cannot see another path. The mayor must change this trajectory. If she intends to succeed where past administrations have failed, she must look to the Discovery Institute’s new report, which details exactly how cities can harness forthcoming federal reforms to drive real results.  Her reset must include: Prioritize transitional and treatment-based recovery models Seattle must stop investing disproportionately in permanent supportive housing that takes years to build and rarely addresses root causes. It must instead prioritize transitional recovery housing that is staffed with clinicians, case managers, and vocational supports, and must require engagement in these services as a condition of stay. Partner with high-performing recovery organizations Non-profits such as We Heart Seattle and Union Gospel Mission Rescue Missions have a great track record in helping individuals transition to stability. These organizations know how to walk with people through trauma, detoxification, relapse, and rebuilding. Make these organizations central to the city’s strategy — not an afterthought. Empower and deploy multidisciplinary “CARE+” outreach units Combine mental health professionals, emergency responders, and trained law enforcement to intervene proactively, stabilize crises, and compel psychiatric or addiction evaluations when individuals pose clear risks to themselves or others. Washington’s Involuntary Treatment Act already provides necessary tools, but they must be used more consistently and, of course, humanely. Enforce public health and safety laws to restore order while providing pathways to treatment In City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, the Supreme Court affirmed that Seattle can ban public camping to restore order and safety for all residents. In tandem with this effort, the city must provide the homeless with restorative programs. Demand performance, not platitudes, at every level of the system Seattle must instill accountability at every level of the homeless system: from the individual, to the non-profit, to the government officials responsible for the homeless system. It must measure outcomes and provide quarterly dashboards on those outcomes and the spending required to achieve those outcomes. Housing without treatment is a revolving door. Harm reduction without recovery is slow-motion abandonment. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. Katie, you have the chance to lead Seattle into a future where compassion is not a slogan, but a force that restores people and the city they call home. This is your moment. History will remember the mayor who chose courage over habit, transformation over stagnation. Seattle’s soul is waiting to be mended. Now is the time to lead the city there. * * * Michele Steeb is the founder of Free Up Foundation and author of “Answers Behind the RED DOOR: Battling the Homeless Epidemic,” based on her 13 years as CEO of Northern California’s largest program for homeless women and children.

A Portland extremist who threatened to kill ICE officers and sexually assault their wives exposes the dangerous anti-law enforcement violence plaguing America’s immigration system. Extremist Targets Immigration Officers and Families John Paul Cupp, 45, was arraigned Monday on federal charges for making horrific threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and their families. The Portland man allegedly confronted officers outside the South Portland ICE building on October 14, threatening to kill law enforcement personnel, sexually assault their wives, and harm their children. Cupp later repeated these vile threats in online videos posted on November 3 and November 13, demonstrating his commitment to intimidating those who enforce our nation’s immigration laws. BREAKING: John Paul Cupp, 45, made his initial appearance today after allegedly making violent threats at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in South Portland. Cupp has been charged by criminal complaint with Threats Made Against a Federal Law Enforcement… pic.twitter.com/ukBjHm3zOK — FBI Portland (@FBIPortland) November 24, 2025 Pattern of Anti-American Extremism Revealed The FBI investigation uncovered Cupp’s extensive history of producing violent online content targeting America and law enforcement. According to federal authorities, Cupp “regularly posts aggressive rhetoric, calls for war against the United States, antisemitic threats, and threats of violence.” Screenshots from his social media accounts show him writing “Allaahu akbar, power to the people” while advocating for political violence. This pattern reveals not just isolated threats, but a systematic campaign of extremist propaganda designed to undermine American institutions and terrorize federal officers. Revolutionary Rhetoric and Martyrdom Appeals Cupp’s online posts reveal the mindset of a dangerous extremist who views himself as a revolutionary fighting against America. In one disturbing post, he wrote, “An effective revolutionary must yearn in tears for martyrdom. In this way you are unbreakable and live life in an elevated liberated way even in poverty and repression.” These statements demonstrate how anti-immigration enforcement sentiment can radicalize individuals into violence against law enforcement officers who are simply doing their jobs to protect American communities and enforce lawfully enacted immigration policies. Strong Federal Response Under New Leadership FBI Director Kash Patel delivered a clear message about the federal government’s commitment to protecting law enforcement officers under the Trump administration. “If you threaten to kill law enforcement officers or harm their families, you will face the full weight of the federal government,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “This FBI will use every investigative tool we have to identify violent extremists and remove them from our communities.” This decisive response represents a welcome change from previous policies that often failed to adequately protect immigration officers facing increased threats and violence.

'Rebuild public trust in our colleges and universities'

THE CENTER SQUARE—Parents should take precaution this holiday season when it comes to artificial intelligence toys after researchers for the new Trouble in Toyland report found safety concerns.  Illinois Public Interest Research Group Campaign Associate Ellen Hengesbach said some of the toys armed with AI raised red flags ranging from toys that talk in-depth about sexually explicit topics to acting dismayed when the child disengages. “What they look like are basically stuffed animals or toy robots that have a chatbot like Chat GPT embedded in them and can have conversations with children,” Hengesbach told The Center Square. The U.S. PIRG Education Fund report also points out that at least three toys have limited to no parental controls and have the capacity to record your child’s voice and collect other sensitive data via facial recognition.    “All three were willing to tell us where to find potentially dangerous objects in the house, such as plastic bags, matches, or knives,” she said. “It seems like dystopian science fiction decades ago is now reality.” In the face of all the changing landscape and rising concerns, Hengesbach is calling for immediate action. “The two main things that we’d like to see are more oversight in general and more research so we can see exactly how these toys interact with kids, really just identify what the harms might be and have a lot more transparency from companies around how are these toys designed,” she said. “What are they capable of and what the potential risks or harms might be. I just really want us to take this opportunity to really think through what we’re doing instead of rushing a toy to market.” As for the here and now, Hengesbach stressed parents would be wise to be thoughtful about their purchases. “We just have a big open question of what are the long-term impacts of these products on young kids, especially when it comes to their social development,” she said. “The fact is that we just really won’t know what the long-term impacts of AI friends and companion toys might be until the first generation playing with them grows up. For now, I think it’s just really important that parents understand that these AI toys are out there; they’re very new and they’re basically unregulated.” Since the release of the report, Hengesbach said one AI toymaker temporarily suspended sales of all their products to conduct a safety audit.   This year’s 40th Trouble in Toyland report also focuses on toys that contain toxins, counterfeit toys that haven’t been tested for safety, recalled toys and toys that contain button cell batteries or high-powered magnets, both of which can be deadly if swallowed.

California once stood as the symbol of American innovation and unity — but today, it has become the warning sign for a nation in decline.Harmeet Dhillon and BlazeTV host Nicole Shanahan both live in California, and while it remains one of the most aesthetically beautiful places to live, policy and unity-wise, it is anything but beautiful.“Some younger folks may not remember the time when people would be giving speeches on the opposite sides of something in Congress, and then they would play basketball together afterwards,” Dhillon tells Shanahan.“That doesn’t happen any more in D.C., and it doesn’t happen any more in Sacramento. I mean, Sacramento has become like the paradigm of, you know, just sclerotic inefficiency over there. It’s just a one-party state, with terrible results for the consumers because of that,” she continues.“If we had a vibrant two-party state here, we would have some compromise, and we would have some solutions,” she says, noting that instead the state is just “circling the drain” and has become “unlivable here for most people.”And despite the way Silicon Valley and other densely populated areas of California may vote, Dhillon points out that when “you look at the map, California is a red state.”“There’s a thin slice of blue on the coast, where there’s a population overload, but most of the state ... you just drive an hour into the interior of our state, and there’s Trump signs everywhere, and there’s people working with their hands, and there’s people involved in their communities, and there’s nature, and there’s beauty,” she says.“It is really two states in that sense. … But, you know, it’s sort of with self-interested line-drawing and the so-called independent commission, which isn’t independent. It really defines a ceiling for Republicans right now, until that system changes,” she continues.“We’ve had Republican leaders in the state when the state was great, and I don’t think other states want to emulate California’s infrastructure, its schools, its, you know, health care system,” she says, adding, “We are not a paradigm of anything positive right now, and that should change.”Want more from Nicole Shanahan?To enjoy more of Nicole's compelling blend of empathy, curiosity, and enlightenment, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
