Gov. Tina Kotek had a lot of blame to spread around, after lawmakers failed to pass new $$ for roads this session. None for herself, so much. #orpol #orleg opb.org/article/2025/0…
In the House, lawmakers are about to take up HB 5006, the "Christmas Tree" bill that doles out $$ to a huge variety of pet projects. Always one of the last bills to pass. House members are donning atypical hats (Pam Marsh's is Statue of Liberty crown). Sine die nigh? #orleg

Outside a Home Depot in Huntington Park , day laborers I spoke with say an immigration raid occurred early here this morning
LAPD has been firing less lethal rounds at protestors around the federal building for the last 40mins.
Sure this website is full of Nazis, but Bluesky is kind of annoying. Hard to say what’s worse
Bluesky honestly feels like a miracle where you take the most annoying people in the world and stick them in a broken elevator together.
It turns out errant voter registrations via Oregon's Motor Voter law stretch back much farther than state officials originally indicated. #orpol opb.org/article/2025/0…
Abnormally strong to severe thunderstorms are becoming increasingly likely across southwest Washington and northwest Oregon Wednesday afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has maintained a "Slight Risk" for severe weather, which is rare for this portion of...
The Oregon Senate just approved a bill that would allow the state to remain on permanent standard time -- if WA and CA also take such a vote. The state already has a law that says it will remain on daylight time if WA, CA do -- and Congress approves. #orleg #orpol
