Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Good. We don’t need another kid from a super rich district in the system

The Oregon Secretary of State’s Office will not be leading the search for a kid governor. Here's why.

Oregon SoS’ Office won’t lead Kid Governor program for first time in nearly a decade

The Secretary of State’s Office opened registration for the 2025 kid governor in September 2024.

Following disappointing fundraising numbers from The Fund for PPS's first year, its leaders and advocates for the new, more equitable fundraising model say dwelling on the past is the wrong strategy.

Ummmm did Mike Ditka enlist in the Texas Guard?

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

Floodwater is literally part of the ORS descriptions. Other SW&CDs take it seriously. Why not ours?

Nick Christensen @nickcpdx.bsky.social · 5d

My bigger concern is what they don’t do. There’s a lot of urban floodplain area in Portland - not including the Airport Way area - and no plan to address it.

Can Portland line Kristi Noem’s motorcade route with stuffed puppies and well behaved dogs

I’d love it if this board focused more on urban flooding and less on exporting money from Portland to help farmers in East County

We vote for soil and water conservation board members every couple of years, but a lot of us may not know what they do. A farming family in Troutdale explains how one district changed their lives.

What’s a soil and water conservation district? And does Multnomah County still need one?

Multnomah County is now largely urbanized and home to about 800,000 people. So the question is: Does the county still need a conservation district? For Kelly Beamer, executive director of the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, the answer is a resounding yes.

Stephen Miller: "The administration will abide by the ruling insofar as it affects the covered parties, but there are also many options the president has to deploy federal resources under the US military to Portland."

“This new interpretation of Tinker was pushed for… by progressives who wanted to oust anyone who spoke against their views,” Randazza said. “Now they find out that when you unleash the poison gas of censorship, the wind always blows it back into your face.”

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.
