Trump claimed this morning that National Guard troops are "now in place" in Portland, but as of noon there are none to be seen outside the ICE building.

Trump made the comments to U.S. military leaders, referencing San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, days after he deployed troops to Portland.

Including non-plug-in hybrids in the per-mile tax is a little baffling to me if there's no differentiation by weight. So a Prius and an F150 Lightning get charged the same per-mile amount *and* the Prius has to pay gas taxes, despite the F150 being twice as heavy? Am I missing something here?

The bill aims to avoid layoffs at ODOT and local road agencies after a larger bill failed in June. The vote was delayed for weeks due to a senator's medical absence.

With the lack of info we currently have it’s difficult to tell if this is an *actual* escalation from what electeds knew last night. But it is certainly seems to be the most extreme rhetoric we’ve seen Trump direct Portland’s way.

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

Sinclair Broadcast Group is bringing Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show back to its ABC affiliate stations on Friday night. Sinclair owns both KATU in Portland and KOMO in Seattle.

"There are autisms, rather than just autism. The diversity in symptoms, the severity of symptoms and the range of biological contributors are simply too large to be reduced to one uniform disorder. The neurobiology is too complex for easy explanations." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

Foot traffic downtown is up 5.6% from last year and three times where it was in 2021. It's still about half of 2019, according to Downtown Portland Clean & Safe.

Among the many, many risks of Trump’s anti-Tylenol tirade? According to experts who spoke to @wired.com, an increase in autism rates:

When Jimmy Kimmel goes back on air Tuesday night, Portland's ABC affiliate KATU will not broadcast the show.

Yes, someone in a hot dog costume just hand-delivered Councilor Green a hot dog before starting today's council chat on sidewalk vending.

using this particular map for this joke is some great low-key trolling

I appreciate that this NYT chat features an autistic journalist and author — and gives him the room for full-throated responses! And of course @ericmgarcia.bsky.social crushed it. gift link

A study has found that AI 'workslop', where coworkers use AI and their colleagues have to spend time fixing it, is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable." www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

Nexstar and Sinclair, which own dozens of ABC stations between them, both confirmed ahead of Kimmel's return that they would continue to preempt him. Nexstar, which owns more than 30 ABC affiliates, is seeking regulatory approval for a deal to acquire TEGNA.

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."

BREAKING: Cascade PBS, which operates the website Crosscut, is laying off 19 people, reportedly including its entire news staff. In an email to staff, CEO Rob Dunlop blamed federal cuts, saying the nonprofit is "winding down our longform, written journalism."

Ahead of the Trump administration's "historic" announcement on autism today, remember, RFK Jr. knows startingly little about autism. In fact, his views amount to a "rabbit hole filled with pseudoscience about the condition, near complete ignorance about current research and basic facts."

The Record of Decision — the federal greenlight to start construction — could take until April. That would leave just 5 months to get construction underway before a Sept. 30 deadline to start obligating funding from a $1.5B federal grant. And the ROD isn't the only part of the project facing delays.

Trump signaled Friday that when he thinks of the "terrorist organization" Antifa, he thinks of Portland — and he plans to do something about the city soon. But first, he's got some other cities to take care of: Memphis and Chicago.

This is of course patently insane
