What about the Leagueβs work are you most proud of, Councilor?
My perspective is that the City spends a whole lot of tax money for the LoOC to lobby the Oregon Legislature to weaken public records laws.
It didnβt end well for him

04.10.2025 00:37 β π 10 π 0 π¬ 0 π 1Letter from Dan Ryan Dear Portlanders, Letβs be honest. Like many of you, Iβve been reflecting on President Trumpβs decision to send the military to Portland. At the same time, I have been taking an objective inventory of the current state of our city. This I know is true: We donβt want to live in a country where the President sends in troops against the wishes our federal delegates in Congress, Governor Tina Kotek, Mayor Keith Wilson and local elected officialsβof which I am one. Let me be clear. Deploying troops to displace local law enforcement is an extreme federal overreach that threatens our local autonomy. The federal administration was looking for a fight to justify its claims about our city being unmanaged. This path leads to violence, stronger federal intervention, and ultimately justification of the federal overreach. So here we are. This is not new to us. We were in similar scenarios in 2016 and 2020, and how we handled ourselves at those times has made a permanent imprint on Portlandβs reputation. We can act with reason and purpose without tearing this city up. We must also admit that all is not perfect in Portland. Our economy is struggling with historically high vacancy rates and rising unemployment. We have a humanitarian crisis on the streets that has become enabled and normalized. We need to address intolerable and illegal actions in our community, like open drug use, vandalism, violence, and theft. Portlanders rightfully expect us to get our house in order. With love for my hometown, Dan

Tapper and Alex Thompson details allegations of Biden's inner circle attempting to conceal his declining mental and physical capabilities, based on observations from Democratic lawmakers, aides, and donors. β’ Media coverage: Some media outlets have highlighted instances of Biden's gaffes and verbal missteps to raise questions about his mental acuity. @ Evidence cited for Donald Trump's cognitive decline (Biden's successor) β’ Public appearances: Trump has also faced scrutiny for statements made during public appearances and debates, with some observers noting answers that bypassed logical reasoning. β’ Memory lapses and verbal gaffes: Concerns have been raised about occasional memory lapses and verbal gaffes by Trump, though experts emphasize the need for professional assessment. o Important considerations β’ Age and normal aging: It's important to differentiate between signs of potential cognitive decline and normal age-related changes in cognitive function. β’ Need for formal assessment: Medical experts stress that a definitive diagnosis of cognitive decline cannot
