It’s been a journey to see the new portland city council’s committee preferences change and adapt over time

Now with 5 committee chairs they can meet with the council president all together and not violate quorum

The state’s most robust democratic legislating body, outside of the legislature?

Across the spectrum, judges in aggregate have ruled for ICE's mass detention policy only 7% of the time.

For Trump-appointed judges, that number is 31%
Excluding Trump-appointed judges, ICE wins only 2.4% of the time.
NEW: We’re publishing a full list of the 373 federal judges who have ruled against ICE’s mass detention policy and the 28 who have endorsed it — as well as links to key rulings by each.

Trump appointees have split 44 against/ 20 for the policy.

NEW: In a letter to GOP congressional leaders, six Democratic secretaries of state characterized the voter suppressive MEGA and SAVE America Acts as an invitation for chaos in election administration.

“A series of sweeping overhauls…is not a serious effort at improving the democratic process.”
‘A massive burden on American eligible voters’: State election chiefs oppose GOP voter suppression bills
“American voters will be the ones paying for this — by paying more in taxes, spending more time jumping through bureaucratic hoops, or losing access to the ballot box altogether.”

The right does a great job of grooming its new brood of psychotic degenerates, straight to the top:
🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.
Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims
“I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

US Senator refers to top State Department Republican nominee as a “legit white nationalist”
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
