Oregon waterway permit initiative to repeal the new fees on kayaks, paddleboards, and all non-motorized craft is dead in the water — they only got ~32k signatures out of 117k needed for the ballot.
This whole mess started with HB 2982 that Rep. Ed Diehl voted YES on, expanding the permit to hit regular folks floating the river.
Now even Diehl admits it was a mistake and wants to roll it back.
Government overreach on our outdoor traditions again.
Salem strikes, rural Oregon pays. Time to hold them accountable before next session.
“In a world full of Jensen Huangs definitely don’t be a Chirayu Rana.”
Remember the “Indian Quagmire” who accused his JPMorgan boss of drugging him and turning him into her personal sex slave a few months ago?
The guy who said a woman called her own breasts cannons?
Yeah, that guy.
Chirayu Rana’s case is still limping along in federal court, but it’s getting rough.
Multiple lawyers have already walked. His sister’s story got softer.
He got caught lying about his dad being dead so he could take bereavement leave (dad’s very much alive).
The bank’s internal investigation found nothing, he wouldn’t even participate, and the woman he accused countersued him for defamation.
He even turned down a $1 million settlement.
Judge Lewis Kaplan is still allowing it to drag through the courts.
FREE LORNA HADJINI.

Breaking: JPMorgan offered a former banker $1 million to settle his lurid sex claims weeks before he filed a lawsuit that has captivated Wall Street https://t.co/Q89wY4Il86
Not one person should come before the citizens of a nation.
No refugee, no illegal immigrant, no men of fighting age and definitely not one person who will rob a country blind while the very people who were promised sovereignty get shafted.
This is Biden 2.0 and everyone with two brain cells to rub together can see it.
Stand your ground.
The republican parties biggest issue, in my personal opinion, is the amount and quality of candidate. I’m not an Ed Diehl guy and never will be. Drazan ended up being the candidate so I backed it. I dont know what his supporters did or didnt do.
We need younger blood with sharp political and analytical minds-until the oarty accepts that and adjusts, we are DOA.
@Kylejonsson55@RonWyden@RepRichardNeal I’m going to be honest with that. David Medina would have been the most ideal candidate for that. Closed primaries capped out the independents. He’s a great dude, known him a while and he has a very unique ability to talk to everyone.
@Kylejonsson55@RonWyden@RepRichardNeal He’s an odd cat. Sometimes it appears written by him and other times it doesn’t.
But I could picture him typing that out or scheduling the post and hitting send.
Jeff, spare us the Trump crypto lecture.
Your colleague Ron Wyden chaired (and still sits on) the Senate Finance Committee while his wife Nancy Bass Wyden bought BIG:
• April–May 2020: $115k–$250k in Amazon stock (while her Strand bookstore laid off workers).
• April 2020–Feb 2021: $245k–$600k in Nvidia + Applied Materials/KLA Corp. semiconductor stocks.
• Feb 26, 2021: Additional buys in Applied Materials & KLA right as Wyden pushed chip legislation (CHIPS Act support, America LEADS Act).
She cashed out the semi stocks in April 2021 after big gains.
SAME scrutiny for EVERYONE.
Glass houses, Merkley.
Oregon deserves more than your performative theatrics.

This is the affordability Ronald preaches, it’s also why he voted AGAINST banning congressional stock trading.
Yup, you read that right-he wants his portfolio to get advantage over yours.
It’s almost like Ronald is jealous he didn’t get the same scoop Ro Khanna did.
Wyden’s out here demanding answers on NVIDIA’s China chip sales and the Jensen Huang spy scandal.
He won’t touch his own family’s large NVDA stake (multiple purchases totaling hundreds of thousands, still held with massive gains per disclosures) all while he sat on finance committee.
He also won’t ask why Ro Khanna—NVIDIA’s hometown congressman who appeared with Huang and whose trust sold near the peak—is getting a pass?
Selective scrutiny is the real story here and it’s also very telling that he immediately drives the witch hunt mobile to go after Trump.
#NVIDIA #scandal
Trump and Lutnick allegedly knew former NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, had a relationship with a Chinese spy.
@reprichardneal and I are investigating why they bent over backwards to help NVIDIA sell advanced chips to shady Chinese companies.
We need answers. Now.
If you ever confront something and it is received with extreme defensiveness, you are on the right track.
Don’t give up.
If you’re ever in that situation, pay attention to the entire picture.
Who takes sides and if your view is mocked with contempt or if it’s taken seriously.
Nothing can be hidden forever.
El es Corey Martin un ciudadano estadounidense que ya está cansado y envía este mensaje en sus redes sociales a Donald Trump.
No puedo hablar por ningún otro ciudadano de este gran país, pero les puedo decir que estoy cansado de ver a los políticos manipular a los ciudadanos para su propio beneficio, para robarnos el dinero y arruinarnos la vida, porque simplemente no les importa.
Hace mucho tiempo se les olvidó que trabajan para nosotros. Este país y este gobierno son del pueblo y por el pueblo y en algún momento lo olvidaron.
Ha salido a la luz que Chuck Schumer ha estado coludido con ejecutivos petroleros para mantener altos los precios de la gasolina para enojarnos y ayudar a ganar una elección demócrata. Me revuelve el estómago que nos manipulen, se roban nuestros impuestos y nosotros no tenemos voz, porque si decimos algo, nos aíslan o nosotros etiquetan de conspiranoicos o de inconformes.
Si no pagamos la casa, nos la quitan o nos embargan el salario.
Llega un punto Presidente, en el que uno tiene que preguntarse: ¿Cuánto es suficiente? Usted está en posición de hacer un cambio, no tiene que preocuparse por reelegirse, usted tiene 75 millones de estadounidenses que creen en usted y pusieron su confianza en usted y haga lo correcto.
En esta última elección demostraron que nuestro voto no importa.
Es imposible que lugares como Texas se vuelvan completamente demócrata.
Eso no puede pasar, el 95% de los condados se volvió demócrata, es imposible.
El hecho de que en los 4 años de Biden no hicieron nada por nosotros, de verdad quieren que creamos que todos decidieron votar demócrata?
Esto solo puede terminar de dos maneras, o usted y la buena gente con la que trabaja hacen algo al respecto o los ciudadanos van a tener que involucrarse y cuando lo hagamos no va a ser bonito para ninguno de los dos bandos y no habrá cuartel .
Por favor señor, se lo ruego. Ya es hora de que esta gente rinda cuentas por lo que hacen, ya es hora.
