At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Also fed workers... we're gonna be right back here at the end of January with this shutdown again. This bill only funds the government until January 31st (although SNAP will be funded thru the fiscal year) plan accordingly.

Republicans reject efforts to protect healthcare in secret, late night votes as well as a bill to ensure that American taxpayers would not be on the hook for Trump's ballroom. www.instagram.com/reel/DQ9SScF...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nov. 10, 2025

NEWPORT
OREGON

City of Newport officials were made aware of information that the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is in the process of evaluating locations along the Oregon coast for a potential U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) immigration facility, and the Newport Municipal Airport has been identified as a possible location for this facility.

City leadership is actively working with local, state, and federal legislators to verify and assess this information, its potential effects on public safety and city resources, and municipal and legal options that may be available. Efforts to contact DHS representatives by phone and email have not received a response at the time of this release.

The Cityโ€™s standard communications practices require the confirmation of details prior to releasing information to the public. However, due to credibility of the information received by City officials and the sensitivity of the issue, Newport leadership has chosen to share this information with the community in the interest of public safety and transparency.

On Wednesday, Nov. 12, Newport City Council will hold an open public meeting at Newport City Hall starting at 6 pm.

The City of Newport will provide updates as further information becomes available.

A pie chart titled "Swimmerโ€™s Brain During a Set" shows how a swimmerโ€™s thoughts are divided during practice. The chart is divided into four sections: "Counting Laps" (50%, blue), "Thinking About Food" (30%, yellow), "Why I Am Doing This" (15%, red), and "Actual Technique" (5%, green).

I think about technique more but totally jinx myself if I think about more than one improvement at a time. Can't wait to start swimming again post-injury but also dreading how out of shape I'll be.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

You can support trans folks and still win elections.

So annoyed to see a couple let their German Shepherd running loose in the surf at Nye beach (equally hazardous tides). Another couple had their toddler playing in wet sand by Lincoln city (i.e., where the waves have been sweeping).

Ocean waves obliterating any sign of sand and rushing up stairs/access point to beach in Lincoln City.

Crazy tides on the Oregon Coast (Nelscott, central). Be careful out there. Huge logs bobbing around like toothpicks.
