Every chance they have, Republicans are taking action to make healthcare less affordable, and I’ve had enough.
Healthcare is expensive enough as it is – Oregonians don’t need DC politicians raising their costs even more.

The Public Lands Rule provides us with modern, science-based tools to protect, restore, and preserve our environment.
The Trump administration is trying to get rid of it.
I’m joining my colleagues to demand the rule stay in place.

Hivemind (do we still say that?): I had an HVAC guy tell me today that our fume hoods, if the sash is up at all (like to put hands in there) does not send air through the roof but recirculates it. Says that’s different when the sash is fully down. I am (pun) baffled! Could this be true?

USDA websites for accessing SNOTel and snow course data are offline. These were working normally through Friday morning. Data is still flowing: some (not all) of the SNOTel data remains available though other non-gov websites. 😡 #akwx @climatologist49.bsky.social #weather

Was out yesterday to get coffee with a friend by bike, we discovered some pretty good riding north of Empire. On the return we hit the trail heading south beside Pilot Butte Canal…which would make a great MUP! 🤞that this is on the radar of those designing routes.

By killing the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement, President Trump is picking winners and losers from thousands of miles away.
While he wields his wrecking ball with no respect for the work that went into the agreement or the parties involved, our communities will pay the price.

When I started this story in December, I planned to write about how remarkable it is that scientists discovered wildfires 50,000 years ago with ice cores.
But then Trump happened. The US was the "premier polar power" in science. Experts say this is "imperiled" thanks to cuts to science.
