I could beat Kevin Durant by kicking him in the shins while the refs aren’t looking.

NBA is back, and I rise from my Dracula coffin to deliver the worst takes found online.

We are on a dangerous path in America. A panel of Ninth Circuit judges has chosen to not hold the president accountable: they just granted the federal government’s motion to stay our first TRO, which prevented the president from deploying Oregon National Guard troops in Oregon.

Great summary. Every legislator but one put their own communities at risk of greater harm with this vote.

Said goodbye to an amazing run of Team Grayber last night, as Kassy and Eve wrapped up the session and are off to new adventures.

This crew passed historic victories for worker rights, healthcare protections, and brought $225+ mill into the district.

Best in class. What’s next? #orpol #orleg

Heart with Minnesota today.

Ultimately the motive of this attack is unknown - but it’s impossible for me to disconnect the national rhetoric of hatred and violence toward Democrats from a murder targeting Dem elected officials.

Stay safe, everybody. Take care of one another.

I was proud to shepherd this bill with a great team on the House floor today. SB 916 will bring strikes to a faster close in order to preserve the integrity of our businesses and institutions, and the dignity and rights of our workers. It’s a yes/ and. We can do hard things.

Thank you to the dozens of people that trickled through our constituent coffee over 3 hrs today. I’m incredibly lucky to represent a district with so many involved and caring people.

Scary in the near term is critical payments getting cut off.

Scary in the long term is a group of bad actors getting access to our systems in a way we can never truly untangle.

Hi allβ€” your friendly local OR State Rep with a brief Friday update.TL; DR is the fed thrash feels like hell because the chaos and fear and destabilization are the point. And I’m not going to tell anyone how to feel, but I will tell you this: we are fighting it. You are not alone.

We’ve got this.

Obviously I will never in my life root for an LA team but Plum + Brink is going to be iconic. God loves a trash talker.

Pick your focus and stick with it. We cannot fight in all fronts or we will become overwhelmed. But we can all peel off a corner in our area of expertise and begin to reveal effective strategies for resisting the chaos. Every single one of us has something to offer.

Today I’m thinking about the messages of Dr. King. I’m thinking about Black, Indigenous, and Immigrant communities. I’m thinking about Trans people, of LGBTQ+ communities, and of women everywhere.

I’m thinking about the resiliency we must show and the work we have to do. Let’s get going.

Hey, so, the next four years, at a minimum, are going to be bad. There's gonna be a lot going on. You're not going to be able to focus on it all, let alone fix it.

Find one thing that's local to you and focus on that. Don't ignore the rest, but don't stretch yourself thin.

I have taken
the resources
that were in
the budget

and which
you were probably
saving
for higher education

Forgive me
they were needed
to feed the AI bubble
and to dismantle the humanities

I’m biased toward our team (which is perfect and no one should ever be mean to us), but it’s noticeable that lots of offices made great staff moves. Consensus among chiefs I’ve chatted to is this is an insanely talented LA2 β€œclass” #orleg #orpol
