On This Day (Sep 17) in 2026 (2/7) ===================== Judge Cooper (Kennedy Center), p2 - earlier, plaintiff filing included telling pic - pic showing planned demolition - Cooper issued another ruling today - new: '30 day notice for *any* changes, inc demolition' - sworn declaration ordered
MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff's 84 Motion for an Emergency Hearing is hereby DENIED. By September 23, 2026, Defendants shall a file a detailed status report, supported by a sworn declaration from a knowledgeable representative of the Kennedy Center, on the "temporary closure" and emergency repairs described in Defendants' 86 Response and Mr. Floca's [86-1] supporting declaration. Further, the parties are reminded of Defendants' representation to the Court in the companion case D.C. Preservation League that they will "inform Plaintiffs and the Court if there is any change in the Board's plans that would constitute a reversal of the Center's position that the building will not be demolished and that no new structure will be constructed." Joint Meet & Confer Report (Aug. 28, 2026), Case No. 26-cv-981 (CRC), ECF No. 62 at 2. To avoid any confusion on that score given more recent events, the Court hereby ORDERS Defendants to provide such notice in writing to Plaintiffs in both cases more than 30 days before the implementation of any changes to the scope of the project plans presented to the Court in D.C. Preservation League, including but not limited to any "demolition" of the Center's main building. Finally, Plaintiff may seek discovery regarding the subject of their 85 Notice of Supplemental Authority to the extent permitted by the Federal Rules and the Court's scheduling order. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 09/17/2026. (lccrc3)

There’s been a lot going in in the news this week about voting by mail. Here are three important things to know. The bottom line: Oregonians will vote by mail as we always have this year, and we can be confident our elections will be safe, smooth, and accurate this year. #orpol #oregonelections
Voting by mail in 2026: 3 things to know
1.	The Supreme Court blocked Trump’s attempt to restrict delivery of mail ballots.
2.	Voting by mail will proceed this year as it always has.
3.	Oregon elections will be safe, secure, and accurate in November and beyond.The U.S. Supreme Court blocked Trump’s attempt to restrict delivery of mail ballots.

On Sept. 14, the Supreme Court blocked a US Postal Service rule implementing Trump’s efforts to interfere with vote-by-mail elections Voting by mail will proceed this year as it always has.

The Supreme Court’s order means voting by mail will happen as it always has: in Oregon, eligible voters will receive a ballot by mail and can return it via mail or to a drop box by 8pm on Election Day
Oregon elections will be safe, secure, and accurate in November and beyond.

The Constitution is clear: the federal government cannot interfere with our elections. Oregon voters can be confident that our elections will be safe, smooth, and accurate as they always have been.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.
Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.

PCEF dollars are not no-strings-attached funds that we can just tap to backfill holes in our budget. PCEF is governed by a community-led process decided by voters and PCEF is actively funding critical climate resilience and environmental justice work in our neighborhoods.
A series of three screenshots of Councilor Avalos at the dais. "I don’t believe that PCEF is just allocatable money.
It has a Climate Investment Plan. It has a voter-mandated direction for how to use the dollars.
Ultimately, it’s just really concerning to me that we can just move out of a CIP into other uses."
