Trump wants to send troops here to quell non existent extremists, but lo and behold, he’s also making it hard for Oregon to get actual money to protect against actual extremist attacks
Trump wants to send troops here to quell non existent extremists, but lo and behold, he’s also making it hard for Oregon to get actual money to protect against actual extremist attacks
A quiet battle has played out in court over grant money to aid counterterrorism efforts that “sanctuary” states like Oregon say is needed to fight true extremist threats from both ends of the political spectrum.
Oregon struggles to land federal counterterrorism money as Trump orders troops to stop ‘terrorists’ hindering ICE
Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding. In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

AI pricing is here, and you’re paying for it. Corporations are raking in record profits by using AI to set prices based on personal data — and loyal customers end up paying the most. “It is a well-oiled extraction machine.” From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/PKHo6he

AI’s real contribution to humanity could be maximizing corporate profit by preying on personal data to raise prices. In fact, it’s already happening.

That would be bills passed _by the House_. There have only been 38 public laws fully passed this year, 16 of which were Congressional Review Act resolutions, two were continuing resolutions, one renamed a wildlife refuge, one renamed a national historic site, and one renamed a VA clinic.
The House GOP is listing all of its accomplishments. One thing to note: they are still calling the One Big Big Beautiful Bill Act the “Working Families Tax Cut” with OBBB in parentheses.

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."
The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?
