Okay, it’s gone public. I’m comfortable saying this. The new owners of KOMO Newsradio laid off most of their reporters and editors. They are great journalists, producers, and board operators. I’m happy to connect you with them. Truly a bad day for Seattle journalism.

SVB invested in and gave loans to support affordable housing projects, especially in the Bay Area. What does their collapse mean for projects in the pipeline? w @danahull bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

SVB Didn’t Just Lend to Startups. It Was Key Partner for Affordable Housing

Construction on The Kelsey Civic Center, a 112-unit affordable housing project across from San Francisco City Hall, was supposed to begin this week.

I was let go from my job at WVPB last week following threats from DHHR about my reporting on DHHR’s treatment of people with disabilities.

My team met with @Twitter today. They told us that they're not going to retaliate against independent journalists or researchers who publish criticisms of the platform. Less than 12 hours later, multiple technology reporters have been suspended. What's the deal, @elonmusk?

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

I don’t know what happened here but if @elonmusk doesn’t fix this within the hour with an explanation by morning, I’ll be on Capitol Hill tomorrow demanding that he be hauled in front of Congress.

I do not like telling fans how to fan, but this is not how you fan. I would also remind you that your favorite #Mariners see this garbage too. A great way to show Paul appreciation would be to donate to "Sewald's Strikeouts 4 Kids." Info in link. babycorner.org/news/sewalds-….

Yesterday sucks. There's no arguing that. What's worse is that there are so many hurtful and negative people out there that went after Paul Sewald that he actually deleted his Twitter. I understand being upset, but that's disgusting.

Editors at @ThePlaindealer refused to abide by the ridiculous rules imposed on journalists trying to cover a rally for J.D. Vance featuring Ron DeSantis. cleveland.com/news/2022/08/w… So they didn't write about or photograph it. But they did publish this graphic: white space with an X.

Full participation in today’s world depends on broadband. I commend @POTUS for taking action to ensure millions of Americans have equitable access to economic and social opportunities.

More than 30 million Americans live in places where speeds are too slow or where there is no broadband infrastructure at all. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re delivering high-speed internet infrastructure to every part of this country.
