Speaking officially as the host of Jeopardy!, Cal Raleigh is the correct MVP vote.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

Last night we approved the contract to move forward with automated traffic enforcement - red light and speed cameras at intersections. I'm glad that we've now got this tool available to us to use as part of our enforcement strategy. bendbulletin.com/2025/09/18/b...

City Council heard from a crossing guard at Bear Creek Elementary that in 2020 he saw an 15 kids on avg walking or biking to school. Today they are up to 75 and talking about needing a bigger bike rack. Every one of those kids arrives more ready to learn. This is what progress looks like!

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

These weekly Q&A's with @melaniekebler.bsky.social and @ktvznews.bsky.social are incredibly important. They are short, topical, and always provide new information like the city's housing dashboard that I just learned existed. Video: youtu.be/0NwSLxE5t78 Dashboard: housingdata.bendoregon.gov

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Welcome Week Culture Jam capped off with a fashion show showcasing traditional and contemporary attire from around the world, some made by themself or a family member. So great. Thank you to all the organizers and participants! More events coming up! www.bendoregon.gov/events/welco...

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

Kash Patel fired the 'legendary' special agent in charge of Utah's FBI division a month ago. Her colleagues say she was “absolutely the best” agent in the bureau but she was a woman of color so she had to go: www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Bessent and Bondi are working overtime to make sure a bunch of rich pedophiles and Epstein accomplices are never held accountable. Following the money is one way to serve justice. Today I'm introducing my bill to force the Treasury to hand over its Epstein files.

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

This is outrageous. WTF.

Here's some info on the District Mapping Advisory Committee: www.reddit.com/r/Bend/comme... This process intends to create a five district map by end of November. It's a reaction by the County Commission to voters approving expanding our Commission to five positions in 2024. Pay attention, Bend.

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Tillamook Rep. Cyrus Javadi will run for reelection as a Democrat, saying he's not changing his values — just joining a party more interested in solutions than obstruction. buff.ly/ZDfHnGj by @miamaldonado.bsky.social

This is what integrity and commitment to public service looks like. open.substack.com/pub/cyrusjav...

This charlatan can resign any time. And stop interrupting Senators, too. Until then the West Coast will work together and rely on REAL ACTUAL SCIENCE.

Today, we’re announcing a new Immigration Services and Support Resources toolkit that addresses FAQs about ICE and legal rights, and provides links to services for immigrant and refugee communities. Check it out at www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-depar... #orpol #knowyourrights

With the May 2026 primary eight months away, Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read said Oregonians may start to receive mail and other communications about the election.

Or a courtesy vote from one Republican, but yeah.

Labor Day Bend OR. #Protest

Happy Labor Day, Bend!

So she's going to tell Congress and Trump to reverse the huge cuts to OHP, right? Right, Anakin?

Okay three folks who are vision impaired and here to testify about transit just came out to the hall and are discussing how to change their plans to get ride share home since everything got so delayed. Now I'm even more mad.

I'm in Salem today testifying in support of the transportation budget proposal. It's a necessary but short term fix for maintenance, transit, and truckers. I urged the legislators on the Joint Committee to lead a realistic and responsible conversation about transportation funding going forward.

Trump’s tariffs are a regressive tax on Americans — and yesterday, yet another court ruled that these tariffs are unconstitutional. We joined MSNBC’s The Weekend this morning to talk about why these tariffs are an abuse of emergency power. #tariffs #orpol #ieepa

Since a widespread 10% tariff went into effect, many manufacturers in Oregon say import taxes are raising the cost of doing business.

Oregonians: I need your help. I'm collecting stories about how Trump and Republicans' efforts to raise the costs of prescription drugs will impact patients, specifically anyone taking the cancer drug Keytruda.

They didn't get to me at Monday's public hearing and I was ready to testify today. I'll be here all weekend. Abdicating our state's transportation responsibility is not an option.

If Republicans care about cost of living for Oregonians, they could start by urging complete repeal of these tariffs.

I got my flu shot today because vaccines are effective and save lives. RFK Jr is destroying our ability to keep ourselves and our lvoed ones safe from disease. Millions of lives are under threat if HHS remains under his control. Kids, elders, even healthy people will die. Fire him.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

🚨Town Hall Update 🚨 My in-person town hall in Silverton is being rescheduled from this Saturday, August 30, to 12:00PM next Saturday, September 6 at Silverton Middle School. I look forward to seeing you at the last stop of the Give 'Em Hell Tour! More info: bynum.house.gov/about/events

One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

It’s bad enough to flatter the boss as a requirement for employment. But it’s even worse to sell out your fellow Oregonians along the way.

this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.

Great article. I left Twitter long ago, and I'm looking to revamp my newsletter to write more often and won't be using Substack.

Did you know Oregon has a free Reproductive Rights Hotline? Our Reproductive Health Care toolkit has resources for people seeking reproductive care in Oregon - including information abortion access, Oregon’s legal shield protections, and more. #orpol www.doj.state.or.us/oregon-depar...
