Hi folks! I’ve been away from Twitter for a bit and that’s because I have some news to share. After two wonderful years, I have left the Springfield News-Leader for an exciting opportunity across the country.

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

As @cathymcmorris ends her 20 years in Congress, I spoke with some of the folks who know her best—including @SpeakerJohnson, @SpeakerRyan, @SpeakerBoehner & many non-speakers—about the Spokane rep’s legacy and how the House will be different without her.

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.

“We 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": https://t.co/X79hBkc9NU

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.

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.

@claire_rianhard I recently got into Flesh and Blood and away from MTG. If you get off the train do you think you'll look at other card games?

[Amanda Sullender @SullenderAmanda]

@claire_rianhard Given i saw you were not happy with all the mtg news over the weekend. How much time/effort do you think you'll invest in the game in the future?

[Orion Donovan Smith @orionds]

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.

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.

@fabtcg I'm new to the game and catching up! How much did FAB change over its development process? How different of a game was it when you initially envisioned it?

[Amanda Sullender @SullenderAmanda]

@ElizaBillingham @sanford_nate @TheInlander @erickdoxey Congrats!!! So excited for you and Spokane

[Amanda Sullender @SullenderAmanda]

@dugganreports So true

[Amanda Sullender @SullenderAmanda]

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

[Amanda Sullender @SullenderAmanda]

@sanford_nate @CascadePBS @knkxfm Congratulations!!! Us at the Spokesman will miss your coverage
