Trump: "Portland is on fire. Portland's been on fire for years. And not so much saving it -- we have to save something else. Because I think that's all insurrection, criminal insurrection."

This is very funny thing for a President to say, but it's a truly fucking bananas thing for a President to voluntarily tell everyone he said.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

The whole FX2 experience has been so frustrating. I used to reliably be able to get downtown in 10 minutes.

TriMet @trimet.org · 17d

Weigh in on Planned Bus and MAX Service Cuts

As you may have heard, TriMet is facing a serious budget shortfall. After years of rising costs and less money coming in from fares, our expenses are now greater than our revenues.

Shameful. People should only write positive messages on their bullets. Like “Have a nice day!” and “Thinking of U 🩷😘”
