Yesterday00:01:53Tap to summarizeA Spokane man has been arrested for allegedly starting the most destructive wildfire in the region, the Old Trails Fire, which has razed 640 homes and displaced 60,000 people. The 37-year-old, Aaron Farinacci, faces first-degree arson charges and was found with waterproof matches and butane—evidence that sealed his arrest. Though he has no prior arson record, he’s a convicted murderer from Arizona.

Transcribe →Amazon’s Data Center Push Sparks Backlash | Washington DC News
Yesterday00:01:44Tap to summarizeAmazon’s eyeing a massive $800K sq ft data center complex on the former GWU campus in Ashburn, Virginia — dubbed “Bridgefield Tech Center” — potentially skipping public review thanks to outdated 1972 zoning. Residents and officials are furious, dubbing the area “Data Center Alley” and fearing unchecked growth is turning green spaces into concrete. Supervisor Juli Briskman vows to fight every step, pointing out the old rules exempt this project from hearings or board votes. Amazon counters by highlighting its $2.1B tax contribution since 2016, calling this just the first phase of a long process — but locals say Loudoun has had enough, with Briskman even pushing for a moratorium to preserve revenue without new builds.

Yesterday00:01:38Tap to summarizeA Spokane County man, 37, has been arrested in connection with the deadly Old Trails Fire—one of three major wildfires burning in the region, destroying hundreds of homes and charring over 3,600 acres. Charged with first-degree arson and held on a $1 million bond, he was identified after a witness spotted him acting nervously near the fire’s origin, shortly before flames erupted. Authorities found waterproof matches and a butane lighter on him during questioning. While this arrest is specific to the Old Trails Fire, officials confirm no link yet to the other two blazes. All three fires remain zero percent contained, forcing evacuations and urging residents to stay vigilant. The motive behind the Old Trails Fire remains unknown as the crisis continues to escalate across the county.
