Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

I'm imagining frogs spreading across the country like the end of Bart vs Australia, but with out the destruction of crops.

But with lots of dancing, and opposition to fascism.

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

It's 7:30pm and I'm thinking about going to bed.

What an exciting life I live.

In fairness I slept poorly last night. I'm also covering for a coworker in eastern time tomorrow, so I'm waking up before 5am. But it's 7:30!

Show of hands if you’re a Portlander dog-tired from dealing with the fables spun by this Trump disciple

Kristi Noem calls Oregon leaders liars, says feds will ‘double down’ in Portland

The remarks came two days after Noem made an appearance Tuesday at South Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, the site of protests since June.

It was really difficult to follow the Red Sox from the PNW in the 80s, games were almost never on TV, you'd get ~30 seconds of game highlights on Baseball Tonight, the box score was in the newspaper the next day but that was about it.

Greenwell was my favorite player back then.

Red Sox @redsox.com · 2d

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Greenwell.

“The Gator” spent his entire career in a Red Sox uniform & was a beloved fixture of Fenway and Fort Myers. He gave so much to this organization, Lee County, & Sox Nation.

We send our love to the Greenwell family.
