This is disgusting, what kind of President condones this? @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov

He obviously doesn’t pay attention.

Just checked with friend in Portland she is reporting that it’s a beautiful sunny day and there is no sign of war. I thin Nazi Barbie is confused with Gaza.

Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."

It's kind of wild that crypto scammers became *the single biggest source of political donations* in the last US election and barely anyone even noticed. These dipshits basically own both parties now and are getting whatever they want and there's been zero (0) public deliberation or debate about it.

Crypto's $245 million campaign finance operation filled airwaves with ads not about crypto

The crypto sector emerged as a top donor this election cycle, but the ads it funded weren't about digital currencies.

Where were posts like this when over 300,000 Black women were unceremoniously fired from their Federal jobs?

Black women, the 92%, did NOT vote for this administration.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Oh lord, how’s he going to do that? As a retired bookkeeper for a business that worked on 100 feature films all over the world, he is hunting ducks with a rake. No wonder he has 6 bankruptcies on his CV.

Kathy @oregonweaver.bsky.social · 9d

He really means the guys in junior high that duck taped his butt checks together and stuffed him in a locker because he was so obnoxious. He’s just living out his twisted revenge.

Brian Kilmeade has a plan for the homeless, now there’s a guy that should get the same considerations. Why didn’t @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy fire him?

Time to reup the “What if they gave a war and nobody came?" slogan of the 1960’s.

Portland is a peaceful, vibrant city with no need for federal agents on our streets. I urge Oregonians not to fall into Trump’s attempt to incite violence. Just as I did in 2020, I will lead our delegation and state officials to oppose any unjustified increase in federal forces.

The only time Portland has become a hellscape is when the Orange Buffoon sends in his white supremacist mercenaries or lets a pandemic rage.

What better way to get to know what’s really going on in Portland, caught between its own struggles with good governance and an authoritarian president determined to justify a military crackdown, than through its myriad coffee shops? slate.trib.al/kiDqVhE
