Right now, the 9th Circuit is considering whether to allow troops to deploy to Portland's ICE facility. At this moment, looks like there are only Know Your Rights and a clergyperson outside.

Shout-out to the reporters who agreed to stand in front of a camera over night. I would be so embarrassed and scared I would accidentally/thoughtlessly pick my nose or anything. We salute you!

At 1 a.m., they reported there were only five people there, one of whom was picking up trash. Otherwise, so quiet this reporter looks bored.
Three people sit outside an ICE facility. A television reporter stands outside of an ICE facility.

“'War-ravaged' Portland was having an unseasonably sunny September day..a long line at the homemade bread stand, cherry trees still blooming..It was the kind of day [that] called for rosé, not federal force." @caseyparks.bsky.social on Trump's latest crusade www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Is Portland ‘War-ravaged’ as Trump claims? Here’s what residents say.
President Donald Trump had said living in Portland, Oregon, was like “living in hell.” Portlanders mostly met the news with confusion.

A judge in Massachusetts today issued what I think is the first judgment against the DOJ's attempt to subpoena doctors who treat trans patients. The judge quashed the subpoena the DOJ issued against Boston Children's Hospital, home to the country's first gender clinic for adolescents.

Subpoenas made public this week show the government is demanding doctors turn over a wide range of sensitive, identifiable data about its trans patients — everything from social security numbers to Zoom records, notes, addresses, "everything written or recorded." Our story: wapo.st/4lAnkRy
Government’s demand for trans care info sought addresses, doctors’ notes, texts
Legal experts said the Justice Department subpoenas related to medical care for transgender minors appear to be unprecedented.

Newspapers have always cost money. I grew up very poor but my dad still got the paper every morning. A Post subscription is $5/month -- cheaper than most streaming services and, alas, one cup of coffee where I live.

Here's a gift link! wapo.st/4fwP7kN
A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away.
The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boys’ bathroom.
