"Given the public’s need to know what their government is doing, the Public Records Act is an essential government duty, not a last-minute classroom assignment done grudgingly," writes George Erb, secretary of the Washington Coalition for Open Government. https://t.co/uFxUEBrHVA

This @BrennanCenter webinar on Corruption in America starts in just about 13 minutes. Should be a worthwhile program. https://t.co/mE51SRs2Ay

For journalists and other citizens interested in accountability reporting at the state level and non-profit journalism (two of my passions), I’m excited about the upcoming inaugural Collier Prize Symposium for State Government Accountability on Nov. 13. https://t.co/IuGubYqfyF

Am I the only one who can't seem to get onto Zoom this morning?

@GovPressOffice Actually, this is a *terrible* time of year for controlled burns in almost any ecosystem.

@TCSWashington Thanks for following this!

WATCH: Ferguson’s own deadline on public records auto-deletion review has come and gone https://t.co/beBiusOAJN

[Jamie Nixon @WJamieNixon]

Funny how @washdems demand Trump stop hiding documents…(Epstein) Meanwhile, in Washington: 7.5 months into @GovBobFerguson’s own 6 month review, and the public still has no answers about the auto deletion of the people’s records. 🤷🏻 #waleg

[Al Franken @alfranken]

Is JD Vance a liar or just woefully ignorant when claiming that Democrats want to give health benefits to undocumented immigrants?

[Jamie Nixon @WJamieNixon]

Washington once bragged about having the nation’s strongest Public Records Act. Now? A new study ranks WA 41st out of 44 in transparency and DEAD LAST in response times. Sunshine State? Try Shadow State. Our leaders are failing us. #waleg #transparency https://t.co/2IvHpnRsJr

.@GovRonDeSantis and @AGJamesUthmeier were in such a rush to capture headlines, they didn’t vet their contractors. Alligator Alcatraz contractors have links to allegations of fraud, price-gouging and hiring undocumented labor - from ⁦@ShirshoD⁩

FACT CHECK: Trump’s budget defunded the police

[Jamie Nixon @WJamieNixon]

Not surprised, still shocked. I have documents showing @wdfw records staffers purposefully engaging in unethical behavior to dissuade reporters from acquiring records. #waleg https://t.co/jukGiyHfZm

[robertmcclure @robertmcclure]

@MaryEllenKlas Completely outrageous! Thanks for posting. This needs to be corrected.

Disturbing Stanford study finds climate change has reduced global wheat yields about 10%. The world now uses 550M acres to grow wheat, which suggests a swath of nature about the size of Kansas has been cleared to compensate for climate-driven yield losses.
