The so-called hydrogen hub recently suffered a big blow, losing federal funding as the Trump administration strips away money for green energy projects in a dozen Democrat-led states. But it isn't stopping Lewis County, which plans to forge ahead.

Hydrogen bus service in Lewis County will continue despite US Department of Energy cuts

Lewis County Transit is in the process of building a 1-megawatt hydrogen electrolyzer to generate hydrogen fuel out of water, with oxygen as its byproduct. Once completed, the project will fuel six hydrogen buses.

A panel of judges is set to hear arguments Thursday on the Trump administration's appeal of the restraining order blocking the president from deploying the National Guard to Portland. But they could decide before then.

Over Oregon's monthlong special legislative session, lawmakers spent most it doing zero legislating.

But because state law dictates that members of the House and Senate must receive a $178 per diem when in session, they were paid anyway. To the tune of about $270,000.

Oregon’s special legislative session cost taxpayers $270,000

This year’s star-crossed special legislative session was the longest — and priciest — in more than a decade.

The Trump administration & Oval Office is a circus of corruption.

It’s a mafia performance under a tent of lies & deception,vengeance & an excess of hubris.

It’s a poker game of who has the cards with Dictator Dummy Donny.
Carney plays the game better.
He is the smarter & more composed leader.
