I don't know about Kristi Noem's visit, but my visit to Portland today was lovely with beauty and brunch. At Porland's International Rose Test Garden.

Checking in with a few updates:

1.) Yesterday, Trump’s federal agents brutalized peaceful demonstrators at the SW Macadam ICE facility. It is egregious and a betrayal of American values. He is deliberately trying to provoke violence to tell a story about our city that is not based in reality.

In addition to their national defense duties, Americans rely on our National Guard to fight wildfires and respond to other natural disasters.

Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.
