24 hours after launching my campaign, I'm already facing attacks. Being called a 'MAGA' extremist by Brenda Lykins. This shows how out of touch Bureaucrat Brenda really is. Save Pierce County's soul: solanforpierce.com #SolanForPierce #CommonSense #PierceCountyCouncil

I'm running for Pierce County Council District 7 and my opponents tried to scrape me off the ballot before my campaign even launched. A Superior Court judge shot down their underhanded shenanigans and ordered me back on immediately. Now this race is exactly where it belongs - in the hands of Pierce County voters. Follow my campaign social accounts. Donate if you can. Help us bring reasonable, moderate, commonsense leadership to Pierce County. Game on. #MikeSolan #PierceCounty #CommonSense #Reasonable #Moderate #SolanForPierce

St. Paul Police Federation President, Mark Ross, emphasizes the importance of communication with city council members regarding law enforcement decisions. Despite reaching out, the Federation received no calls or texts before new face covering ordinances impacting the rank-and-file were passed. #PoliceChief #CityCouncil #LawEnforcement #CommunitySafety #OpenCommunication #BlueSaintsPodcast

"Today’s verdict was a miscarriage of justice. We vigorously maintain Sergeant Duran’s innocence. The verdict rendered by Judge Mitchell is clearly against the weight of the credible evidence. Verdicts such as this send a terrible message to hard-working cops: should you use force to defend yourself, your fellow police officers or the citizens of the City, no matter how justified your actions, you risk criminal charges and conviction.” - Vincent Vallelong, President of the Sergeants Benevolent Association @sbanypd amny.com/news/nypd-sergeant-…

"Toothless virtue signaling rhetoric like this has already cost two people their lives. The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen. I will not allow SPOG members to be used as political pawns." - Mike Solan, SPOG President x.com/MayorofSeattle/status/… @MayorofSeattle
Today I announced an initial set of actions to protect city residents in the face of increased federal immigration enforcement activity. #thisisyourcity

Mayor Wilson's team is reacting as if there's no new policy change, despite reports to the contrary. Media outlets are seeking comment, with the mayor's office stating, "You'll know when I announce a policy change because I'll announce a policy change." #MayorWilson #CityHall #DrugPolicy #PolicyChange #Media #Seattle

Seattle's decision to not arrest offenders for open drug use is a dangerous path leading to societal decay and death. Cops believe this 'suicidal empathy' won't lift people up, and the LEAD program is a waste of time and money. This direction will supercharge death, destruction, and human suffering. #Seattle #DrugPolicy #Crime #Addiction #LEADProgram

SPOG President, Mike Solan: "The recent naive, ignorant political decision to not arrest offenders for open drug use in the City of Seattle is horrifically dangerous and will create more death and societal decay. It embodies an enormous flaw in those in our community who think that meeting people where they are who are in the throes of addiction, is the correct path to lift them up. This is wrong and is commonly referred to as “Suicidal Empathy.” Most cops know that the LEAD program supports this ideology and they don’t want to refer cases. It is a waste of time. We’ve all seen how our streets can be filled with death, decay, blight and crime when ideology like this infects our city. Now with this resurrected insane direction, death, destruction and more human suffering will be supercharged".

In this explosive episode, Mike pulls back the curtain on the backstage chaos that fueled the controversial approval of the SPOG contract—and exposes Seattle City Council member Rob Saka's shameless hypocrisy in a no-holds-barred takedown. @CMRobSaka

Minnesota Billion Dollar Welfare Fraud Scandal Explained by SPPF President, Mark Ross Over $1 billion (and counting) in Minnesota welfare fraud has sparked outrage. Funds meant for housing and healthcare for vulnerable people were misappropriated, while police departments face a severe shortage. Voters are incensed at the lack of oversight and accountability.
