Border Patrol Shooting Near Canadian Border

At 5:30 AM near the Canadian border in Blaine, a Border Patrol agent fired shots, wounding an individual who was later hospitalized.

Pierce County Sheriff Election Battle

Pierce County voters face a pivotal ballot decision this November that could reshape how their sheriff is chosen—whether to keep electing their own sheriff or switch to an appointed system, with a twist: if they vote yes, current Sheriff Keith Swank would be forced out by January 2027. Swank, who calls the measure a backdoor recall, defends his controversial social media posts as free speech and even hopes the issue reaches the Supreme Court. While supporters of appointment argue it could bring in more qualified candidates, many locals want to maintain direct election. Swank has vowed to step down if voters choose the appointed route—making this a high-stakes showdown at the ballot box. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
