An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.

Here is the latest information from our investigation. We are grateful to the Secret Service team and our law enforcement partners for their swift action. Our thoughts go out to the families affected by this tragedy.

As always, there’s hateful rhetoric spreading and misconceptions about what the press should be saying ATM so I want to give perspective as a journalist. 🧵

Just a reminder that Eugene Weekly is hiring. We're fierce and fun and punch above our weight. eugeneweekly.com/hiring/

I’m sick with the current strain of Covid. Friends asked how it feels. I told them the congestion and runny nose feel like I have snorted shampoo up into my sinuses. I am struck by the fact, apparently I’m the only person who ever gets shampoo up their nose in the shower.

What Brian said

A free press is essential. That’s why authoritarian regimes crack down on journalists who are doing their part to hold governments accountable. I will continue to push the Administration to double down on efforts to protect journalists around the world.

I could’ve kept a life where I taught Jane Austen. Instead I became a journalist – is that like the equivalent of I chose violence?

Things the Weekly’s tech guy wishes he hadn’t heard me say: “Well if I lick the charger before I put it in my phone it works better.” He quietly suggested it might be time for a new phone.

Thank you Facebook memories for the reminder that some things in journalism do not change,

Hours before a spokeswoman for the Oregon Republican Party vehemently denied the state GOP would try to interfere with Libertarian ballot access, the Republican Party's attorneys urged state election officials to reject Libertarian nominees. #orpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/07/29/des…

Stranger and Portland Mercury.

Today I got a complaint from one reader that I haven’t posted enough pictures of my dogs. Another reader would like more pictures of my baby horse. On the weeks when editing a newspaper has me so tired, those comments bring me joy.

Did not know that there was breaking at the Paris Olympics! The 1980s are alive!

One of my Eugene Weekly coworkers laughed and said you try to solve everything with essential oils. I was like what are you talking about? And then I realized I had just bought this and tried to get rid of a rat using peppermint oil yesterday.

This will only make sense to the five horse people who follow me here. You know you ride at a Western barn when you’re grooming your horse in your breeches and boots and some random dude’s pickup line is “What’s with the cute outfit?” I’m like ask Snoop Dogg

Greek literature may not be the refuge from queerness they are expecting.

Missed this in July – Eugene Weekly's Bentley Freeman reported that the adult son of Darin Harbick, GOP nominee for Lane County's HD 12, participated in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. #orpol eugeneweekly.com/2024/07/25/cap…
