Donald Drumpf is the biggest loser... a poor one to boot. His EOs are an indication of weakness. And don't forget the worst polling in presidential history, even worse than the first term he held office. Is it any wonder he resorts to authoritarian tactics? Weakest loser of all.
Conservative and liberal judges across the country this week ruled against President Donald Trump in at least 11 different lawsuits challenging his administration’s immigration, elections and anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's a good reminder how effective the right language can be when framing the debate.
Being seen as a loser is what Trump fears this most. The “loser” label undermines his status as an authoritarian figure, making it impossible to uphold his image as a “strict father” conservative.

The passage of this bipartisan bill will be an investment in all Oregonians' futures. I hope McKenzie School District in Blue River can utilize this funding to improve reading outcomes this summer.
For the first time, Oregon schools will get over a year to plan summer school—with guaranteed state funding. But there's a catch. Funds must be used for programs that help students reach grade-level reading and writing skills.
Bills to help Oregon schools fund years of summer learning await governor’s signature
The Oregon Legislature passed two bills to provide consistent funding to summer learning programs and to ensure they boost student academic outcomes.

It doesn't make sense to pay five times the market value of any livestock killed. I understand paying market value to preserve these beautiful canines.
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife staff counted 204 wolves in December, a 15% increase from the year before, according to the agency’s annual wolf report published last week.
Oregon wolf population surpasses 200 for first time in 8 decades
Oregon wildlife officials counted more gray wolves than ever last winter, a promising sign for the federally endangered species.

Impeach the convicted felon and sexual predator Donald Drumpf. He is a state terrorist along with Secretary Marco Rubio.
I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Lots of focus on the trade war's impact on big industry. Here's @matthewkish.bsky.social on how the tariffs are clobbering Oregon small businesses.
“The reality is everything is just on hold...If this does not get sorted out in the next 90, 120 days, we will end up having nothing to sell.”

The first Trump administration mobilized young people in Oregon to lead resistance to the president's policies. This time around, older adults are leading the charge.
After a muted start, Oregon erupts in resistance to Trump’s second term with a groundswell of protests
Oregon alone saw dozens of protests, from small towns to large cities. All voiced frustration with President Donald Trump's administration, particularly his recent tariffs on foreign countries and his advisor, billionaire Elon Musk.

the US Marshal Service should be part of the judicial branch, not of the executive, so that it will not become confused about whence its authority stems and to whom its duty lies.
