Story coming today after the mayor’s speech. We have some pretty strict rules about when we report results.

Totally get it, as a fellow Portlander who has also been noting the increased air traffic.

So a) I’m don’t write headlines b) I’ve asked the AG and DOJ for their takes since, yes, complicated c) I think the open the door language in that piece is accurate and c) This ruling is very clear on how these 2 judges feel about both TROs. The en banc request could slow/stop deployment too.

It’s a bit of a lot to explain in a national story, but the context: last week, federal lawyers said if they won this, they would very quickly ask the Ninth to reject the broader TRO as well. Judges Bade and Nelson wrote that they consider both errors on Judge Immergut’s part.

I’m actually a reporter at the Times, not an editor. Just finished week three, so my influence at this organization of 2,000 journalists is minimal.

Thanks, brother.

Time is weird, Alex.

(So no, not in poor taste?)

I think you meant to say “Dan Salt-man.”

Good morning, fellow travelers. You did not need that decaf mango dragonfruit oatmilk cortado with extra foam and browned butter. Just order coffee. The correct order is PLAIN COFFEE.

Would not was, of course. I am both fired up and incredibly sleepy.
