After the death of Rutilo Jorge one week ago today, we must renew conversations for a safe bike facility on Hwy 43 between Sellwood and Lake Oswego.
I had never ridden it before Saturday and I was shocked and saddened by what I discovered.

When minutes of early warning saves lives, we can't afford to cut corners.
I’m demanding answers about why these funds were denied, and I will continue to push for modernizing and fully funding NOAA’s Tsunami Warning Centers so we’re ready when disaster strikes.

They vote for John Thune because he is tall and white, not because he is smart. Someone is going to have to sit him down and explain that it falls to him to go to the White House and explain to Trump it is time to play the old sick card and resign. Trump is done.

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.
