Are any WA lawmakers working to address scam/possibly AI calls? I’ve posted about it on Facebook before and several friends are also experiencing exorbitant voicemails offering personal loans. They’re prerecorded and purportedly come from vaguely named places like “the lending department.”

Just under a year ago, my colleague Whitney Bryen and I began hearing about women in Idaho prisons being sexually abused by staff. We investigated — and what we've found since has shocked us. Today, the first two stories in our 6(!)-part series were published.

I didn’t include this context in this story, but I think this is worth remembering: if you work full time at federal min wage ($7.25/hr) you earn just $15,080/year. 138% of fed poverty level is ≈ $10.38/hr full time. More than 20 states use fed min wage.

Colton and I continued reporting today to answer some questions from last night’s protests in Spokane. What types of less-lethal round were used and why? What‘a the status of two protestors who were charged with felonies? Could more people face charges? www.inlander.com/news/spokane...

Spokane County Sheriff’s Corporal Mark Gregory tells me their department fired one 40 mm blue nose foam baton (which appears to be what’s pictured here) and the department does not use rubber bullets. They also fired three bean bag rounds per what their deputies reports say so far.
