NEW: On the eve of Greg Bovino's court-ordered appearance before Judge Sara Ellis, lawyers in the case ask her to fully bar the feds from using tear gas until she rules on a preliminary injunction.

Amazon is axing 30k corporate jobs. They can say it is because of the advancement of AI, and that may be true in part — but c’mon… nobody has a 10% RIF right before the holidays. Unless of course, they know that hungry people w/o healthcare don’t buy from Bezos.

Together we are calling on the Trump administration to immediately release contingency funds that will keep millions of Americans from hunger, including roughly 136,000 people in Multnomah County alone who rely on federal food assistance.

That’s almost 1 in 5 Multnomah County residents.
Multnomah County and Portland leaders, community partners call on Trump administration to fund food assistance to prevent hardship, hunger and suffering for 136,000 County residents
The federal administration can immediately act to release these contingency funds at any time — today, even — and spare 136,000 of our neighbors from needless suffering and hunger.

I completed my Christmas shopping this weekend. I decided this may be a rather depressing December for many Americans. In that vein, I am creating baskets of locally made items and newly released books for family. No gift cards or cash this year, we are contributing to FOOD BANKS in their names!

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House.

One.

And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees.

Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple.

We continue to be the resistance.

“An attack on anyone’s fundamental rights is an attack on all of us.”

We have more power than they do, if we choose to exercise it.

Stop shopping as much as possible.

Call big box stores and tell them why.

Write your reps, no matter their party.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

The State Dining room is 48x36 feet, about 1,728 sq. ft. The East Room, not destroyed yet, will become a passageway to the new ballroom! The NEW gilded and gold ballroom will hold 999 guests…

Wondering things this fine rainy night? Why does America need a “lounge patio” over the Rose Garden… AND a 90,000 sq. ft. ballroom? State dinners previously entertained 140 guests in the State Dining Room. The East Room holds 200 guests… how many guests do they plan to fit into a 90,000 ft. space?

Here’s a thought! If lawmakers close government, their paychecks AND benefits should stop! No money, no insurance! Seems like the right thing to do.
