New in PN: Dems are winning the shutdown
"If Republicans are on board with Trumpβs effort to become a dictator, thereβs not much point in negotiating. You might as well force them to own their priorities, including hugely increasing healthcare costs, then use it against them on the campaign trail."
Come for the inspiration of courts are "a place where we get to go in and talk about truth" and stay for the comparison of Trump and raising a small child.

A Budget truck with about five armed men seen inside. It's dark out and the taillights are lit. The photo is attributed to KT O'Loughin.
Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmerβs markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell donβt want one.
