Pretty much everyone in Portland is in a book club, including staff writer Anthony Effinger. His club decided to meet in front of ICE to show that the city isn't a burning hell, even where the Trump administration has its most provocative presence.

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.
Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

Immigrants help keep California’s $4T economy running.
Trump’s mass raids and stripping people of legal status risk tearing it apart — gutting our workforce and raising costs for everyone while separating American families.

Trump’s immigration policy threatens key sectors of California’s economy, long reliant on immigrant workers
At stake are billions of dollars that fuel businesses large and small across the state, whose standalone economy is the fourth largest in the world after the U.S., China and Germany.
