The U.S Coast Guard has promised to indefinitely return a life-saving rescue helicopter to its facility at Newport’s Municipal Airport, Oregon’s two U.S. senators said Thursday, capping weeks of angst in the town ahead of a dangerous crab fishing season.
Rescue helicopter will return, remain in Newport, Oregon’s US senators say • Oregon Capital Chronicle
A representative of the homeland security department gave “full backup” to the Coast Guard’s assurances, said U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley.

Thanks, Ron!
Some great news: I just got off the phone with the U.S. Coast Guard, who has returned the rescue helicopter to Newport and promised to keep it there. This is a big win to keep fishermen and the Newport community safe.
Oregon is suing the Trump administration for relocating, without notice, a Coast Guard rescue helicopter that has saved lives in dangerous waters near Newport. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thanks, Ron!
This is a very encouraging step towards reparations and repair, and it would be great to see this groundwork pave the way towards full right of return for any survivors and their descendants

Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

We need a complete overhaul of the way introductory economics is taught to business majors
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
