Heart torn apart, listening to scanner and watching CNN as this unfolds at MSU. Our son is safe. Praying for everyone affected.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Turned off the coverage of the MSU mass shooting because this cuts deep. Met some of my best friends there, and my husband. I have friends I went to MSU with whose kids are now students. So many of my friends work there. Having to text them to make sure they’re safe was terrible.

@danielwinlander Mager defeated Harris in the general election, countywide.

[Jonathan Brunt @bruntjon]

Yeah, but there isn't data to show what happens after a two-term incumbent in that office gets rejected by nearly 3/4 of voters. I'd point to the 2006 election of Bonnie Mager against Phil Harris to note that when voters turn on an incumbent, they might be open to the unexpected.

[Daniel Walters @danielwreporter]

@lukebaumgarten The data has shown what happens if you run a qualified, experienced progressive litigator against Larry Haskell, I agree.

Best seat in all of #Bloomsday2022.

Sacred Heart and Holy Family hospitals in Spokane halted elective surgeries on Tuesday in response to COVID-19. There were 111 people hospitalized in Spokane County from COVID-19 on Monday -- triple the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations a month earlier.

At least one Republican in Washington state will join Liz Cheney in backing impeachment. @cathymcmorris still hasn't announced her stance.

As Washington's election results are certified today, here's something to ponder:
In 1991, 37% of Washington was represented in the Legislature by two parties. In 2021, that figure will fall to 6%. #waelex

@adamcshanks Thanks for reminding me why I stopped in the first place.

[Jonathan Brunt @bruntjon]

Lots of trash bins blowing around Spokane’s East Central And South Perry neighborhoods. This is at 13th and Pittsburg.

[Jonathan Brunt @bruntjon]

Of course, Hafner denied it only after he praised the S-R reporter's
"very well and accurate written article."

[Daniel Walters @danielwreporter]

Today, Spokesman-Review says "Chuck Hafner predicted Spokane’s business community would succeed in pushing the region’s central bus plaza out of downtown."

In 2014, Hafner vehemently denied that was ever his belief.

Spokane firefighters are checking out roof of downtown Spokane library after a report of smoke. But battalion chief says it appears to be false alarm.

Did you know there was a federal soda tax that was instituted 100 years ago? It was considered a luxury tax. Seriously. https://t.co/IE6l7u8lW4
