Six months into Donald Trump's presidency and parents are having to choose between taking out a loan or letting their families go hungry just so they can buy school supplies.
A stunning 39% of parents say they can’t afford back-to-school shopping this year. 44% of parents plan to take on debt during back-to-school shopping. More than 50% of parents plan to sacrifice necessities like groceries to ensure their child has what they need for school.
Thankful for the first responders on the ground working to protect our state.
FIRE LINE PHOTOS: Crews continue making progress on the #CramFire. 95,769 acres in size. Firefighters focused on the southern edge Friday, while lines on the west held strong despite red flag conditions. Cooler temps and higher humidity are expected to help crews.
People are in for some serious sticker shock when Trumpcare raises premiums across all 50 states this fall. Republicans are on a war path to make everyone's health care more expensive.
Insurers are hiking ACA premiums by a median of 15% next year, based on early reports. ACA enrollees will see their out-of-pocket premiums skyrocket by an average of over 75% if enhanced premium tax credits are allowed to expire at the end of this year. healthsystemtracker.org/brief/individu…
Wyden: Here is what it says: Treasury's Epstein file details… 4,725 wire transfers. Let me repeat that. 4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein's bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines…
This is extraordinarily creepy and troubling.
"We have certain things in common, Jeffrey," Donald Trump wrote in a letter celebrating Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday. "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Good lord, ick. wsj.com/politics/trump…
It’s about Dame Time. Welcome home to a true @trailblazers icon.
BREAKING: Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard is finalizing a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell ESPN. Deal is expected to include a player option in 2027-28 and a no-trade clause. A storybook reunion home for the 35-year-old.
Trump's price is $346/month. The price Democrats secured through Medicare negotiation is $231/month. The Trump administration is taking a worse deal than Democrats negotiated, and patients are going to pay for it.

4,725 wire transfers. More than $1 billion. #followthemoneyepstein
"4,000 wire transfers, many associated with wrongdoing...that you have that and there's nothing to investigate is ridiculous. Pam Bondi was attorney general in the state of Florida where a lot of Epstein's crimes were committed...I can't begin to understand the President's…
In almost every interview I’ve given on this story I’ve said “Follow the Money.” nytimes.com/2025/07/17/bus…
Follow. The. Money.

Senate Republicans just passed the DOGE cuts into law, defunding public broadcasting, emergency alert systems, and foreign aid. Everything Trump and Republicans are doing makes our country and our families less safe.
The Senate passed a bill to cancel $9 billion in funding to foreign aid and public broadcasting. The House faces a Friday deadline to pass it next. cnn.it/4fdSIUN
Republicans' Medicaid cuts and hospital closures will be a sledgehammer to health care in Oregon. This is what Republicans voted for. wweek.com/news/2025/07/1…
The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.” wired.com/story/dhs-and-…
Today’s anniversary of this lifeline is a great day to honor how @988Lifeline helps people in crisis every day. It’s also a great day to keep fighting the Trump scheme to cut this lifeline for young LGBTQ+ people.
Today marks three years since @988Lifeline became available nationwide. Since then, more than 16.5 million people have received life-saving support. While the latest NAMI-Ipsos poll finds awareness of 988 is at an all-time high, we have many opportunities for policymakers to…
The deeper he digs himself into this hole the more it looks like he has something to hide.
Donald Trump is now posting on Truth Social about "the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax" and says pointedly that "my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line and sinker."
Sen. Wyden: I'm not going to allow the mismanagement and the lack of really using resources effectively become an argument that somehow this mismanagement is the case for selling off our public lands.
