@SenJeffMerkley Why are businesses leaving for other states?
The ‘affordability’ seems to be acutely here… any idea why? Political leadership?

@Daisy55oj I like to burn through whatever bits are at hand… then drive to Home Depot and buy ‘E’.

Tina Kotek’s administration made $2.5 billion in accounting errors last year.

That’s not a simple rounding mistake, that’s bureaucratic incompetence. And this isn’t just a one-off, it’s a pattern. In 2024, they made $1.8 billion in accounting errors.

Tina Kotek wants to keep raising taxes on us, but her own administration can’t even keep its own books without billions of dollars in errors.

It’s time to fire Tina Kotek.

Once upon a dry, doomed Oregon summer, a reckless spark ignited hell.
It was January 9, 2023. Tina Kotek swaggered into the governor’s office, fresh from the radical left’s fever swamp, and immediately declared a “state of emergency” on homelessness. That single arrogant matchstick hit a mountain of political kindling she and her progressive allies had spent years piling high: Measure 110’s catastrophic drug decriminalization, unchecked illegal immigration, suffocating regulations, and a housing crisis they deliberately ignored while chasing utopian fantasies. The flames didn’t hesitate. They exploded.
At first, the fire danced to her tune. She promised the moon, doubling housing production, flooding money into shelters and “behavioral health.” Bills poured out of the legislature like gasoline. Supporters cheered this bold new era. But it was all smoke and mirrors. The real fire was Kotek’s ideology itself soft on crime madness, sanctuary state insanity, and endless taxpayer funded experiments that treated addicts like victims and law-abiding citizens like ATM machines.
The blaze roared out of control almost immediately. Portland’s streets became war zones of tents, needles, and open fentanyl markets. Downtown businesses boarded up and fled. Rural Oregon choked on the smoke of her urban focused disasters skyrocketing costs, failing schools, and crumbling infrastructure while she jetted around preaching equity. Literal wildfires still scorched the forests each summer, but the policy wildfire she unleashed burned hotter and deeper families priced out, neighborhoods destroyed, and basic public safety abandoned. Her approval ratings scraped the bottom, recall whispers turned to roars, and even lifelong Democrats in Portland started choking on the ash of her failures.
By 2025 and into 2026, the inferno consumed everything in its path. Hundreds of millions poured into “solutions” that only fed the flames more spending, more bureaucracy, more excuses. Kotek’s administration kept announcing shiny new housing plans and safety tweaks, but the visible reality was apocalyptic tent cities metastasizing, overdose deaths climbing, and working Oregonians fleeing the state she was torching. The fire exposed the deadly gap between her radical vision and everyday catastrophe, broken streets, closed shops, terrified families, and a government more obsessed with ideology than results.
This wasn’t a natural disaster. This was arson by progressive incompetence. Kotek lit the match, poured on the accelerant of failed leftist policies, and watched Oregon burn while claiming victory over the smoke. The forest of opportunity, safety, and sanity that once defined the state is now blackened ruin. Scorched earth remains where thriving communities should stand. New growth? Only if voters finally extinguish this disaster at the ballot box before there’s nothing left worth saving.
The smoke still chokes Oregon’s hills. The fire Tina Kotek started rages on, destructive, avoidable, and unforgivable. Good intentions? No. This was hubris in action, and the entire state is paying the deadly price. 🇺🇸 🐺

@TinaKotek TDS has a scientific basis…
Should such mental infirmity disqualify a person for public service?

We are getting ready to head to the hospital for my husband’s surgery and just wanted to say thank you so much to all of who have shared messages, prayers and well wishes for Abraham. We are humbled and so grateful to be surrounded by aloha during this really tough time. 🙏🏽

@Avabelly__ recycled raw material used to build tiny cabins...
usually recovered after predecessor was taken down with explosives (fire crackers)

@GovTinaKotek absolutely meaningless measurement...
...you could be taking credit for just lowering standards.
Any standardized test results to compare?

[Kevin Lindgren @befuddledyet]

@GovTinaKotek Absolutely beautiful!
Oregon has an extraordinary past.
It really was once a great place to live, wasn't it?
