TACO is NOT building a ballroom.

He is building a bunker.

Booze Allen is not an architecture firm.

It’s a defense contractor.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

Some environmental groups are warning that a federal bill intended to prevent major wildfires could effectively increase logging, cattle grazing and mining on federal lands — which make up half of Oregon’s land base.

Half of Oregon could see more logging, grazing under federal wildfire bill

The Fix Our Forests Act passed out of a Senate committee Tuesday, and now heads to a full vote

Portland, Oregon, two blocks from ICE. Perfectly peaceful! It’s been like this for years.

If you have to say that the people who actually live and work here are lying to justify your version of reality -- that's delusion. We won't stop telling stories of the REAL Portland.

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Two blocks from Ice in the South Waterfront. Crows and Kingfishers are the most you will hear.

All of Southwest Portland is currently impacted by the circling helicopters for hours and we need to sleep! There’s a bunch of elderly and disabled people that live down here that are now impacted far more than the single ICE block.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Meet Sergio Gor — Or Should We Say Sergey Goryachev? Trump’s Top Hiring Official May Be a Russian Spy

Every day it gets harder to deny the truth I’ve been shouting from the rooftops: Trump has surrounded himself with foreign operatives, oligarch enablers, and compromised loyalists.

I hope y'all are watching Rachel Maddow. What Trump and Elon Musk are doing is straight up Naziesque. What DOGE is doing has nothing to do w/ govmnt efficiency and everything to do w/ destroying ppl's lives. They're erasing ppl in order to round them up and make them disappear.

Brooke Rollins, Trump’s Sec. of Agriculture, was just on CNN pushing the lie that tariffs are a “national security” issue. Right.👌Cloaking the plummeting of our retirement savings, rising prices & economic pain for everyday Americans—while isolating us from key allies—as nat sec? Give me a break.
