Which is why vacillation is almost a certainty in the US even if we can vote out MAGA. At some point, they’re going to have to come up with solutions people like and win the argument. Then pray for patience. (And expand the Court.) The to-do list is long.

Everything that I have done with every minute of my day since 8:30 AM has been either (1) trying to fix a government error or (2) a completely pointless client emergency which the government created for no good reason

AI writes better. I'm not a huge fan, mind you, but we've got to speak the truth. It wouldn't make these errors.

Sympathetic to the couch, it fears JD Vance?

That’s just a retelling of the underlying story with no corroboration. I will delete my quote post. 😞

I still send mine! For the whole meeting. Public officials need to know they’re being watched.

And yes, that IS highly specific. 😉

Also, there can be manipulation. Say a city manager wants to build a $200M city hall. The public has come out heavily against that in non-council meetings. But the staff report downplays the opposition in its synopsis. AI would never know and neither would a non-engaged reporter. We have a job to do

Most meetings are recorded. But if there’s something worth covering then it’s better to be there. You can ask follow-up questions on breaks. Meet people. Find out how the decisions are impacting real people. See the emotions in the room. Reporters aren’t stenographers. They put things in context.

The public or the journalists?

Btw, so much is left out of the minutes!

This 👏 is 👏 not 👏 journalism. This is stenography. Readers deserve more.

And “news nuggets” don’t just happen. They need context that goes beyond what’s said at a meeting.

Wow, Oregon (and Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Montana), you really showed up! We received 1,101 entries into the SPJ Region 10 contest this year.

Best of luck to everyone!

Incredible how Trump's illegal and reckless attack on Iran is now blossoming into an unpredictable regional war that threatens global stability.

It's like 40 years of warnings that a reckless attack on Iran would blossom into an unpredictable regional war that threatened global stability were true.

There goes that Supreme Court nomination!

I hear it’s wonderfully curated. Maybe by a loved one. I’ll never tell.

For a party that claims to hate socialism, they sure seem to enjoy getting publicly owned.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Oh, I have epic fury.

At 55, he’s a little old for Republicans looking to lock in Originalism/major questions/non-delegation crap.

“Media tee-ball events” is catchphrase perfect! 👩‍🍳 💋

They say he was in fine health wise when they dropped him off and suddenly he has a fatal health issue???

Every aspect of this story is maddening.

Oregon State's rivalry game against Oregon might not return until 2028 The series was supposed to resume in 2027 after taking a break this fall, but Oregon State says that isn't possible.

Oregon State and Oregon might not meet again on the football field until at least 2028.
