I just wrote a letter in support of an increase in the Transient Lodging Tax in Oregon in order to help fund support for wildlife and their habitats. Check it out if you are in Oregon and want to help our wildlife. actionnetwork.org/letters/2261...

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

I have an urge to watch the old PBS Anne of Green Gables now. #chrysanthemum

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Things that are difficult when you don't speak the local language where you live: getting voicemail or regular mail. Thankfully Google Translate is good enough for most mail but it's still extra steps to try to translate before your language mastery is good enough.

I am the whitest of middle aged ladies and there is so much that I learned as an immigrant in another western country that most people never think of as "the immigrant experience" I wish that I could just make people understand how absolutely hard in so many big and small ways it is.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

@courtneymilan.com Josephine County has given their local library a 30 day eviction notice. It is important that people know they're attacking libraries like this!

A library in Oregon has been given a 30 day eviction notice because of political garbage. Libraries are vital to communities and people need to know this is happening! #booksky

On the Ukraine front: - Biden announces $2.5 billion in aid (this is the package I’ve been talking about that they were attempting to get out prior to Trump’s inauguration) - Yellen announces 3.4 billion in budgetary aid. Huge day!

Finland found traces on the seabed that the tanker Eagle S of the russian Federation's shadow fleet was dragging a dropped anchor to destroy submarine cables. NATO - it's your turn - finally do your job.

A peacekeeping role will require Russian approval at UN to end Russia's invasion which UN has declared illegal & which Russia defies. This makes sense.

A Christmas procession in Kyiv yesterday. Look at the kids' faces. They are so full of light and hope. This is Ukraine's future. We must do all we can so they can live in peaceful and prosperous #Ukraine. 📸: Mykola Tymchenko/Facebook

Good morning dear friends, I wish everyone happy, healthy, productive, safe and peaceful day. Kyiv, Ukraine 🎄🇺🇦

🚨Air raid alert all over Ukraine. Stay safe everyone. Never give up! Russia is a terrorist state!

⚡️Russia terrorizes Ukraine with mass missile, drone attack on Christmas morning. Explosions were reported in Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Kremenchuk the morning of Dec. 25, as Russia launched a mass aerial attack against cities across Ukraine. At least one civilian was hospitalized.

Many groups of missiles are attacking different cities of Ukraine Kharkiv was massively attacked, there're injured people and ruined houses Other cities like Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih are under attack Now the missiles are durecting Cherkassy and Kyiv region Soon they attack Kyiv

I hate the way that a lot of corporate surveys are conducted. My car dealership presses hard for max scores or not putting in the survey at all but sometimes the service is a 7/10 not a 10/10 and there's no way to remedy the problem they've created that lost them 3 points.

Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep & cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left & right. He told the dove merchants, "Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market."

Exclusive: The incoming chairman of the FCC is sending a stern message to the owners of TV stations and networks. And he is using ABC’s recent settlement with Trump as a news peg of sorts. Here's my latest story >>> www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/m...

Findings from the Senate Judiciary Committee's probe into the Supreme Court's 'ethical crisis': • Scalia accepted lavish gifts from billionaires and others with business before the Court for over a decade, in violation of federal law, including 258 personal trips, dozens of which weren't disclosed.

The new government funding bill does NOT include: -Reimbursements for victims of food stamp theft -Restrictions on prescription drug price-gouging by middlemen -Protections against hidden fees in ticketing and hotels All thanks to the richest man in the world.

Literally none of the headlines about the woman burned alive on the subway include the fact that at least one NYPD officer looked on and did nothing. So a reminder: - Cops feel zero obligation to protect you - Press can't be trusted to hold cops accountable, they're effectively the police PR wing

The past 24 hours, Russians lost the highest number of soldiers of the entire war.

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us. Because the shame has to switch sides.

Five things Russia’s invasion has taught the world about Ukraine: 1. Ukraine is not Russia 2. Ukraine is huge 3. Ukraine is an agricultural superpower 4. Ukraine is an innovation hub 5. Ukraine is united What would you add to the list? ARTICLE LINK: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...

🔴🇺🇦 Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv this morning. Falling debris caused damage to the gas system (central heating) and caused fires in several districts of the capital. You can see charred cars & shards everywhere. Seven people were injured. 📸 Kyiv Administration

🔴 This morning, Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv, killing one person. Debris fell across several districts of the capital, striking the roof of an office building and shattering its windows. The attack ignited street fires and caused cars to explode.

People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers. www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/g...

Meanwhile Ukraine has to fight Russians and North Koreans on their territory that are using Chinese and Iranian weapons. It’s absurd and despicable that pressure is put on Ukraine for negotiations instead of spending energy doing everything to help Ukrainians get Russian terrorists out

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration. VP Trump better pay attention.

"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” – John Stuart Mills

It's fairly obvious that the old, boomer, establishment Dems think that the progressives led by AOC are the left's version of MAGA trying to take over the party. They are patting themselves on the back at resisting the takeover, holding strong unlike the GOP and still wondering why they lost.

A party of ancients more frightened of being replaced by people who know how to fight than of the thugs actively pulverizing them and the rest of the country. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

THIS 👇 is the PLATFORM all Democratic candidates need to run on in 2026 & 2028! #HumanRightsForEVERYONE!

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

A group of scientists has sounded an alarm about the potential creation of mirror bacteria — synthetic organisms in which the molecular structure found in nature is reversed and could put humans, animals and plants at risk of exposure to dangerous pathogens

Top Russian Commander Sanctioned Over Chemical Weapons Killed in Moscow Blast

Consecutive posts. If this doesn't capture the utter uselessness of Senate Democrats, boy I dunno.

2/ ISW continues to assess that Russia has no interest in engaging in good-faith negotiations with Ukraine and will only sit down at the negotiating table if and when it feels it has secured maximalist concessions on Ukraine's sovereignty...

BREAKING: Justice Juan Merchan denies one of Trump’s efforts to toss his criminal convictions in New York. The judge said President-elect Trump does not have immunity from prosecution bc testimony related “entirely to unofficial conduct entitled to no immunity protections.”

It is no small thing that a Manhattan judge continues to stand up to the criminal who is headed to the White House.
