With the #orleg back, a quick note that the best place to find my coverage is oregoncapitalchronicle.com and the best place for live updates or fun tidbits that don't make it into stories is bluesky (same username).

- A young girl didn’t want to slaughter the goat she raised for 4H. The state senator who bought the goat at auction agreed to let it live out its days eating weeds. But sheriff’s deputies drove 500 miles to kill the goat and teach a 9-year-old a lesson.
- Replying to @JMShumwayWow, this great story by @SalHernandez struck a nerve with a lot of you! Please support your local news outlets, like the @latimes and @sacbee_news in California, so they can continue doing important time-consuming work like combing through goat-related court documents.
- As a 31-year-old female reporter who covers a whole bunch of boomer politicians, I cannot stress how easy it is to not develop inappropriate personal relationships with sources.
- BREAKING: The Oregon Supreme Court agrees with @OregonSOS: Republican senators who participated in walkout can't run for reelection. #orpol #orleg
- Actual Arizona reporters are still being kept out of the stadium a few blocks north of the state capitol where ballots are being counted. But conspiracy-mongering OANN, running a livestream, is publishing baseless claims from unnamed "officials" that they found "systemic fraud."
- Breaking from your @AzCapitolTimes team: Donald Trump offered to help pay for the Arizona Senate’s ongoing audit, according to newly released records
- Condolences in advance for when the NYT inevitably rips off your story and then you have locals sharing the NYT story to ask why local news isn’t covering that issue 🙃
- Arizona lawmakers are debating a new set of voting bills — including one that would allow lawmakers to review election results "if needed" and would grant the legislature the power to pick the state's presidential electors cnn.it/3pScI3Q
- New: The @BrennanCenter is asking the Department of Justice to deploy federal election monitors to the @ArizonaAudit. Letter cites concerns about the facility's security, use of UV lights and plans to contact voters. brennancenter.org/sites/default/…
- Just got my Oregon ballot, and Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are right there. They’re also listed in the state voters’ pamphlet, with an asterisk because they didn’t submit statements. For the love of God, stop harassing Oregon election workers. #orpol
- NEW: @AZHouseDems and @AZSenateDems are asking the FBI to investigate @RepAndyBiggsAZ, @RepGosar, @markfinchem and @anthonykernAZ for their role in last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol.
- And that's former @AzCapitolTimes intern/current managing editor of the country's best student-run publication @andrew_howard4 with the scoop.
- Lots of confusion about what doxing is, so I’m gonna get a muppet to help explain. Publishing a photo of Ernie at an event and naming him in the caption = NOT DOXING Posting “Ernie lives at 123 Sesame Street, his phone number is 123-456-7890 and his email address...” = DOXING
