Also, my name is Amanda Quinn Sullender and I am a transgender woman

Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after Jan. 6, only two are still in office. Newhouse is one of them, and his political survival is the more impressive of the two.

āWe hear a lot from people that they just want to be a tree when they die. This really is the only way that you could actually become the tree."
Great story from @SullenderAmanda on the bittersweet reminder in green burial that "we are all still animals": bit.ly/3CcSaij

Shea is demanding $24 million from the city of Spokane, the third major figure to file a claim after the City Council formally condemned former Mayor Nadine Woodward last year for appearing at an event with Shea.

I just filed a claim for damages against the City of Spokane. The weaponization of the system against Christians and Patriots must end.

Spokane's last HR director was fired in Feb. with little fanfare or attention. He claimed to have information that would cause heads to roll, but then disappeared.
Last month, he threatened to sue the city if they didn't pay him $50 million.

As @Jim_Brunner pointed out, @EmmaEpperly and I broke this story in the @SpokesmanReview in January 2021.
No mention of our reporting in this Politico/E&E piece, which presents the fact that Trump blocked disaster assistance to fire victims as novel info.

NEW: Trump never distributed wildfire aid to Washington in 2020 after he battled with @GovInslee over climate/COVID policy. GOP Rep @cathymcmorris was also pleading for help. WA had to wait until Biden took office to receive funding. @ByTomFrank and me. eenews.net/articles/trump-igā¦

Michael Baumgartner, Republican candidate for Congress in Eastern Washington, has been one of the region's most prominent politicians for over a decade. I dug into the archives to help explain how he got here and tease out themes from his political career

Carmela Conroy, Democratic candidate for Congress in Eastern Washington, had a fascinating 20 year career in the State Department, including a key role during a 2011 diplomatic crisis in Pakistan. She believes this experience readied her for Congress.

Emma is hands-down the best reporter we have at the Spokesman. It will take a whole lot to try to fill her shoes.
I'm also excited for her next adventure and wish the best for her future!

Personal news: Today is my last day at @SpokesmanReview
I don't think I can put into words how much the paper and my time here mean to me.
When I arrived in Spokane 5 years ago as an intern, I had no idea how much this job would transform my life- it truly made me a journalist

Stuckart said he's bowing out in an interview today. He's "absolutely not" endorsing either of the two remaining candidates. There's an ideological mismatch with Republican Kiepe. As for fellow Dem Natasha Hill, he cited her behavior towards him and others this summer. Story ā¬ļø

Molly Marshall's lead over Al French has shrunk to 1.
Not 1%. One vote.
Doesn't have much effect given it's a two-way primary, but still wild to see that.

We're calling it: Michael Baumgartner will face off against Carmela Conroy in the general election, pitting one of Spokane's top Republicans against a former diplomat and Democratic electoral newcomer

So far looking like convention wisdom was correct in early election results, with Baumgartner and Conroy leading in the 5th Congressional race

In early returns, Sessler is leading the WA-04 primary field with nearly 30% of votes.
Rep. Dan Newhouse is in second place with just shy of 25%. A third Republican, Tiffany Smiley, appears on track to be eliminated.
Sometimes the good guy wins!

Not seeing any surprises tonight, with one exception: how close Democrat Molly Marshall is to Republican Al French, who is one of the longest serving elected in the region
