The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

Absolute hero behavior and absolutely pathetic prosecutor www.reddit.com/r/publicdefe...

Absolutely.

Donald Trump is letting AI deny care for seniors on Medicare. If there's a way to make your life worse and more expensive than it is today, he'll do it. I'm leading the charge to make sure this plan dies the death it deserves.

Just perused a thread where people are arguing that a parliamentary system would cure our ills…except most of these American advocates don’t understand parliamentary systems. Some even seem to think such a system automatically mandates that the PM participate in a UK style Question Time.

“Our people” meaning his small personally valued circle and personally loyal military/LE armed to the teeth?

I quite like this kind of moxie.

I’ll be at Rep. Ed Diehl’s election night watch party tonight here in Stayton. He’s one of 14 Republicans vying for the party’s nomination tonight in Oregon’s gubernatorial race. The brewery has closed off parts of street to make room for campaign supporters & food trucks.

By which definition, the Democrats are now the party advocating for limited government.

It’s been an interesting afternoon of finalizing election coverage preparation with the world’s clingiest cat.

Happy Election Day in Oregon. Keep an eye out for results and further coverage later today from the Statesman Journal team including @anastasiacmason.bsky.social, @whitneywoodworth.bsky.social, Tracy Loew and Bill Poehler! www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/p...

We're at war in Iran. Inflation is rising. It costs $100 to fill your gas tank. Energy, housing and health care costs are skyrocketing, and Trump won't stop yapping about his ballroom.

New from me: Some of Donald Trump’s favorite world leaders have been scoundrels, bullies, and dictators. The China summit showed, yet again, that such men can both intimidate and flatter Trump into taking their side, even against the United States. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

🤩 here was my view from pdx

Watched this duo traveling above the western horizon from my front window last night. Heavenly.

Guo Jiakun, the spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, has called FT's report "completely false." un.china-mission.gov.cn/eng/fyrth/20...

A recent KGW segment said that you can take your ballot to the post office during open hours and ask for it to be postmarked, which is good…but better to make the trip to an official ballot drop off site instead. (My trip was a 10 minute walk to the Marion County Clerk’s office - got a sticker.)

The best

This is one of those memes I'm going to save for whenever life gets difficult ❤

Ayup. You have to give your whole soul to Trump, every single time. No exceptions.

I do believe 30% of grown humans shouldn’t leave their house without being accompanied by a legal guardian.

Wife visited the Social Security office this week.

Mast's remarks come amid a bipartisan effort to force a House vote on the Ukraine Support Act, which would authorize more than $1B in direct assistance & up to $8B in loans. Plus more sanctions and export controls targeting Russia's financial, energy, and mining sectors. 2/2

North Korea has amended its constitution to mandate an *automatic nuclear strike* if Kim Jong Un is killed in an enemy attack. The changes also formally drop the goal of peaceful reunification with South Korea, which the document now designates a "hostile state." t.me/vedomosti/77...

Stuff like this is why I’m here, this is glorious

Voters who have yet to cast their ballot are encouraged to drop their ballot in an official drop box.

Horrible to see.

Leo stole this sock. He’s not even attempting to conceal the evidence.

I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Oregon State Fire Fighters Council and the brave firefighters who risk their lives to protect our communities every day. I will always fight for their safety, their benefits, and the resources they need to do their jobs.

60+ pieces of legislation related to menopause have been introduced nationwide this year, and 26 states have enacted menopause-related laws since 2019. Most require insurance coverage for treatments, workplace accommodations, awareness/education campaigns: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/05/14/r...

Sometimes, you have to make decisions when moderating the pet groups 🫠

A new trail system will bring hikers to the iconic but troubled Blue Pool beginning in 2027. A $3.4 million project establish a new 100 space parking lot and trail to the shimmering volcanic pool on the McKenzie River east of Eugene: tinyurl.com/4ebdu3dd

There’s a glaring historical inaccuracy in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film of The Odyssey: they didn’t have cameras back then. Theatres should have a blank screen and an old man reading out the script

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

Tom Nichols: “We are really seeing the cost of a debilitated president, a screwed up foreign policy process, and a weakened America on the world stage.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Gross.

This was a neat segment.

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

HAHAHA Bruce Springsteen WAS NOT HAVING IT with Chris Christie. SNUBBED!

The earlier your ballot is received, the sooner your mailbox will stop being inundated. Competent campaigns monitor return lists, which are public records. (Only your registration & if you voted - not how - are public.)

I laugh cried at this.
