Sunday's actions were all about trying - and failing - and trying - and failing to deploy the National Guard to Portland and Oregon. It's really confusing, so I break it down in this video...

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.
Oregon state womenβs rowing had a great show this morning in Lowell. It was our first race ever and it was fun and the race was ran very efficient, everything was on time. Got to support some friends along the way. The #1 & #2 - 8 teams won. They got 2nd place in the #1 & #2 - 4βs.

Itβs already that time again. Dam Able is this Sunday at Gill.
This is an event for families who have a child with a disability. Itβs a great chance to play some different sports.

A former student just got in touch: her riding school for kids with special needs will be shut down this week if they donβt meet their fund-raising target. Hereβs their crowdfunder if anyone wants to support them because Iβve seen kids benefit from their work.

@shameka23.bsky.social need you to know that if you watch the Brazil vs Fever game Sunday be rooting for my girl Cat Ferreira. Super excited to watch her play on ESPN.
Why do we love OSU? Because they have the BEST student athletes who spent 2 hours out of their Sunday to hang out with families who have a child with Down syndrome & play games!

Every year we do a pizza party for our local Down syndrome group. The cost this year went up over $100 π. This isnβt a lot to many people, but for our little group itβs huge. The prices are similar, they just had better βcouponsβ last year.

"If tariffs drive up the cost of a piece of home medical gear, and if states donβt agree to quickly negotiate, people under Medicaid could be sent fewer supplies in a period, or may face greater co-pays."
Our access to care is being attacked from every angle.
