Republican Christine Drazan has a good chance of becoming Oregon's governor. She got to this point by being "uniquely talented and incredibly ruthless.” My latest (and first freelance piece) for @wweek: https://t.co/2ciShlDfdW #orpol

Sad to say, but this was my last day as a reporter for the @Salem_Statesman. I am among the many @Gannett journalists who were laid off today.

Thanks to all my colleagues and editors for the past five years. It was a pleasure covering the Oregon Legislature for this community.

Redistricting work stalled at the Oregon Legislature today after Republicans didn't arrive for a scheduled floor session and a confirmed case of COVID-19 sent everyone home early. https://t.co/006yGsK4NN #orpol #orleg

Rep. Mike Nearman leaves the floor after the Oregon House of Representatives voted 59-1 to expel him for his actions on Dec. 12. Nearman let violent protesters into the Capitol, and later video showed him planning the action called “Operation Hall Pass.”

BREAKING: Major fire has been reported at Galice Resort, the iconic river outpost/lodge/restaurant on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. I'll add more when I can but pictures (that I can't use yet) look awful.

@andrewselsky It sure does mention that

[Connor Radnovich @CDRadnovich]

GOP chair Sen. Dallas Heard has been away from the Capitol for two weeks after COVID-19 exposure (building off @andrewselsky's story from earlier about Rep. Nearman's COVID illness) https://t.co/nSMJDt3xut #orpol #orleg

[Connor Radnovich @CDRadnovich]

Oregon's power lines have been at the center of two disasters: wildfires and mass outages. I wrote about what could be done, from burying them underground to "hardening" with metal poles & tree lines. But also looked at why it hasn't happened.

The City of Salem says it could take an additional 5-9 days to restore power to all Salem PGE residents. Almost 10,000 Salem residents are still without power a week after the ice storm. https://t.co/pSYHBSt2LI

Ton of truth in these two paragraphs by David Schechter, a local reporter at WFAA-TV in Dallas. https://t.co/o4TmFkvEC5 "Both sides" journalism is the safe option when your knowledge is too thin to do better. Often it has no more authority or "sense" than that. cc @drvolts
