NEW: Seattle’s mayor ran as a democratic socialist. Then she ran into reality.
Katie Wilson has been hobbled by a $175 million deficit, staff upheaval and a steep learning curve on public safety, the city's most intractable issue.
While New York under Mamdani makes for an easy comparison, it’s San Francisco that has become the envy of Seattle officials. A top adviser went there last month to study Daniel Lurie's tactics on crime.

SÃO PAULO–President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva clung to power by orchestrating a surprise victory over Flávio Bolsonaro, winning an unprecedented fourth term and cementing his place as one of the world's longest-serving democratically elected leaders. The final count: 51.8 to 48.3

New: The three researchers OpenAI fired last month spent the summer fighting to keep AI's chain-of-thought process visible.
Then, OpenAI asked to see their Signal chats. A week later, they were let go.

So…@PhilipWegmann and I happened to be mid-interview with Katie Zacharia when she was called out of her office midday on Friday.
She never returned—to the interview, or the job.

SCOOP: While Bo Hines was leading the White House’s push to pass the Genius Act, Tether—the company with the most at stake in the bill—was steering millions of dollars to a company he co-owned.
Right after the bill passed, Tether hired him as its U.S. chief.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff had spent his presidency navigating federal-funding disruptions and antisemitism controversies—until a campus sexual-assault furor erupted on.wsj.com/4rYrQOL
NEW in @WSJ: Cornell's president graduated from the University of Pennsylvania weeks after women occupied College Hall over a series of rapes around campus.
50 years later, Michael Kotlikoff is at the helm of another Ivy League school facing its own reckoning over sexual assault.
A look w @dougbelkin at the 75-year-old veterinarian who planned to retire but is now caught in a firestorm ⬇️
Members of Cornell's Faculty Senate are preparing a vote of no confidence in the ability of Kotlikoff and central administration "to effectively address the ongoing crisis of sexual assault," according to a draft resolution.

One acute example of Seattle's challenge: a shooting near the Space Needle this summer, where a comms breakdown between the mayor's office and police left the public in the dark for 5 hours.
"I don’t know who is in charge but someone needs to assume command,” Wilson’s police chief wrote in one text. In another message, @RepJayapal said of Wilson: "I’m not confident she knows what she is doing."
In @WSJ, my profile of Seattle's new mayor and how ambitions have met reality:
- Wilson officials asked to staff Little Saigon's open-air drug market with police 24/7 but was told there weren't enough officers
- Wilson promised 4,000 shelter units—2x her predecessor's goal—ignoring campaign advisers who warned the figure was unrealistic
- Wilson opposed expanding @SeattlePD's camera network—but is now moving toward turning more cameras on
- $3M for tiny homes from Seattle businesses went unused as City Hall struggled through bureaucratic hurdles
