Thanks to @OPBTOL for hosting a great conversation today about the state of our democracy from the perspective of the state’s third parties. https://t.co/9EL09PUi84
@ORobHarris @horvick It’s weird, Oregon’s institutional discomfort with acknowledging the impact of Independent party voters, especially given the work that has gone into swing districts the last 6 years. Far more navs believe themselves to by IPO than vice versa.
The President of Portland's City Council earns $133k per year plus benefits. Residents have every right to expect better from the city's leadership than trolling elderly residents. Do better, @jamiedunphy https://t.co/FlMgpowiM2
Our prayers are with those attacked in New South Wales while gathering to celebrate Hanukkah, and with our Jewish brothers and sisters who continue to suffer from violence born of religious hatred. Such bigotry corrodes our shared humanity. We must reject it wherever it appears.
@sandhillexit@NateSilver538 Puritans hanged Quakers, embraced slavery, and criminalized dissent in God’s name. Their ideas may have shaped Mormonism, but the kind of moral absolutism they brought here also fueled the persecution of Mormons. Their legacy still haunts the country.
Oregon Republicans should follow the example set by conservative Indiana Republicans and start breaking with and calling out the cynical and immoral policies of this administration and its allies. https://t.co/OaTIR7pC4n
@mhester9777@CustomHester@GovTinaKotek The tariffs alone exceed the cost of the gross receipts tax and recent transportation tax combined. Add in the impact on the labor force from immigration and proposed $11bn in medicaid cuts. The business community has said and done next to nothing.
Weird to see @OregonGOP lose it over a six cent gas tax but not say a word about the crippling taxes Trump is putting on basically everything Americans buy and reciprocal taxes and boycotts on most of what we sell. Was it ever actually about taxes?
@RealJamesWoods How is it not hate speech to paint all Democrats as a "foul plague of hate and misery and we want them to wither into the ether and be gone." Bearing in mind that there have been several assassination attempts against Democrats this year?
If politicians tell you that they have to make your life more expensive and raise taxes to meet basic transportation functions—they’re lying.
Raising taxes and the cost of living on Oregonians is an unconscionable and deliberate choice.
We can protect road maintenance jobs, reprioritize spending at ODOT, and prevent Kotek’s layoffs—and we don’t need new taxes to do so.
