Kotek & the OR Dems should give a refund to utility ratepayers who have been gouged for the last 5 years from their inaction (which somewhat ended this session w/ the passage of the Power Act). We paid to subsidize a bunch of data centers everyone hates for some oligarchs & utility execs. Robbery.

Iāve been warning that these deals donāt pencil out in terms of net economic benefits, but the boosters of the deal have dismissed that perhaps because Iām a politician now or perhaps because sports econ isnāt my field. Well, their hubris has now drawn the ire of the sports economists.

Sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees isn't some Kristof hallucination, it's been documented for years. No one is even attempting to refute this stuff, they're basically just saying that the allegations are so severe that they can't be true.

not only is Jon completely wrong about water rates (clearly hasnāt been paying attention) but misses the entire point: the governor is very unpopular even in her stronghold. iām not blaming her for the water rates, but if she was savvy sheād pivot immediately to running on lowering these costs

free campaign idea for tina kotek: - do a PR thanking the Prosperity Council for the efforts, but announce youāre going in a different direction and disband it - instead announce that youāre going to end the kicker and strengthen the progressive income tax - announce plan to lower h2o rates in PDX

Governor Kotek empowered a bunch of right wingers to recommend that she cut environmental and climate regulations, slash corporate taxes, and eliminate Preschool for All. Not only do we have to fight Donald Trump, we have to fight our own Democratic Governorās Republican economic policies.

Unfortunately, we can't trust the USPS to deliver our ballots, right now, Oregon. Drop them in a ballot box instead. In Multnomah County, they are at all library branches and some other locations.
