Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

Now watching Trump yell at Zelensky. And Vance talk to him like he's a toddler. This is a shameful moment for United States diplomacy. It will be hard to recover from this.
Occam's Razor: always go back to Trump's 3 core beliefs, as spelled out by Tom Wright in 2016: Trump is anti-trade, anti-alliances, and pro-authoritarianism. All the theater with Macron and Starmer, all the talk of deals--he is not going to give Ukraine security anything.
‘Vance accuses Zelensky of being "disrespectful".
Trump then says the Ukrainian leader is "gambling with World War Three".
The meeting ends with Trump telling Zelensky that he is not being "very thankful" and that "this is going to make great television".’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...
