Our crews are trained to notice when things are out of the ordinary, and that training helped a child today. Shortly after today’s Amber Alert was issued, a sharp-eyed crew member on the Issaquah noticed that a pair that matched the description of the child & suspect had walked on in Bremerton.

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

This stat correlates with the demise of democracy.

I would be curious to know what percentage of these reporters are making a living wage and working at a publication with resources.

Nate Robinson needed a kidney. Shane Cleveland knew he could help 'It was just one of those moments where there was great clarity on what I needed to do.'

Some good news to cleanse your feed. No paywall on this one. A great scoop from @christiancaple.bsky.social.

Re: my previous post. This executive order is unconstitutional and it is dangerous.

I want to repeat what the speakers at today's press conference said: to be OK with Trump's illegal executive order means you are OK with children suffering and dying. Nobody should be OK with that.

BREAKING: In my inaugural address, I promised to improve customer service in state government. To that end, I'm appointing former reporter Jesse Jones as director of Results Washington. Washingtonians know when there is a problem, you get Jesse. Read more: governor.wa.gov/news/2025/go...

Lost Patients Mental healthcare in America is a maze — by design.

Seems a good time to recommend one of my favorite podcasts ever: Lost Patients from @kuow.org + @seattletimes.bsky.social. A deep look at mental health system + psychosis. Kudos to @willjames.bsky.social @sydbrownstone.bsky.social @esmyjimenez.bsky.social for it! www.kuow.org/podcasts/los...

Death investigation in Washington | KNKX Public Radio The system used to investigate sudden or unusual deaths in Washington state is a patchwork. Only six counties rely on medical examiners — doctors who are highly trained. The rest rely on elected coron...

People don't think about death investigations until their circumstances force them to. Reporting like this is so important.

Pete Hegseth and His ‘Battle Cry’ for a New Christian Crusade The veteran picked to lead the Defense Department has praised the brutal religious military campaigns of the past and has called for a Christian approach to governing.

Let’s talk about a different aspect of Pete Hegseth: His views on religion and the military, and how the two intertwine.
