Since Trump claims that it was “the military” that requested to use the arch to store sniper ammo & drones, these are the times when a Democratic majority could bring Gen. Dan Caine before Congress to find out from him if that is true & why. As usual, Republicans will do nothing.

The fact that Islamophobia is welcomed, championed, and cheered at this Republican Convention. People are chanting to hurt and shoot Muslim American candidates. It will barely be mentioned this weekend. I assume journalists will ask Democrats to condemn Hasan Piker instead, right?

A federal court just sided with Oregon, ordering USPS to hold off on enforcing its new mail ballot rule while our lawsuit plays out. This ruling keeps Oregon’s elections where they belong – and voters can trust their ballot to arrive securely and on time.

Biden inherited an out of control pandemic from Trump, quickly got it under control, then presided over a historically strong job market and rising wages. His economic stewardship was envy of the world. Trump on the other hand is now poised again to leave his successor a flaming bag.

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows:

"In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.

When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

14Homes Your Family Can Afford
Too many Oregonians can't afford to live in the communities where they grew up.

Young families are priced out of homeownership, and seniors on fixed incomes face property taxes that force impossible choices. Red tape in Salem, outdated forest management policies, and some of the highest taxes in the nation are keeping you and your family from buying a home. Christine understands that the best thing bureaucrats and politicians can do to lower the cost of housing is get out of the way.
Christine's plan slashes housing costs and preserves the character of our communities:

• Expand first-time homeowner programs
• Fast-track permitting and enforce
• Create the Homes for Heroes program
permitting deadlines
• Slash regulatory red tape that drives up
• Provide property tax relief for families

Coding interviews of technologists who were purged from government under DOGE, and the sense of trauma is really palpable. Compared to the private sector orgs like Amazon, the jobs meant more and the way they were treated was way worse. It "felt like our leadership hated us just for existing."
I just think it's also important to, like, remember how, how bad it was like, as someone said to me recently, like, I don't know whether we'll call this trauma with a capital T or trauma with a lowercase t, but it definitely like it was to have everyone crying in the office all the time. People had so much anxiety that we would kind of like have to take turns working for. The last few months I was there to be like, All right, you can't handle Today. Today. I'm okay. I can handle today, but you might have to handle tomorrow for me, because I might not be able to handle tomorrow. Like, I've never seen such a thing. You know, one of our younger designers had asked, because it was their first job out of grad school. Like, is this what it's like in the private sector too? Because this is so terrible. And someone's response who worked in the private sector was that, no, like, I've been terrible places, like I've worked at Amazon, I've worked other places where they didn't care about us, but we never felt like our leadership hated us just for existing. And that's what those months felt like, like, not our direct leadership, but anyone above that, and especially the highest levels, just hated us for existing, and that was really hard when, like our we had committed our careers to serving the citizens public.
