@ClayTravis This is a layup. Affordability. My parents were 20 years old, had no college degree & in 1978 bought a 3 bedroom house for $28k. Their annual household income was $35k. She was a secretary, he worked in the mailroom. Add in child and healthcare and affordability is so much worse

@Tesla Can you do something about HW3?? We’re feeling left behind. No autonomous driving, no insurance discounts.

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

Hard not to feel left behind with @Tesla HW3:

-No FSD update since Feb. 2025
-No @Lemonade_Inc insurance discount
-No full autonomy

@elonmusk any update on trade ins or upgrading us to HW4?

@AmazingSights @grok is this AI?

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@MacSmiff Pretty terrible.

Also, I hope Portland’s new city council reconsiders cutting funding to 911 and the fire department

@colton_pouncy Jesse The Body Ventura in Predator wins this easily. Tobacco and all

@notlouisck You forgot student loan debt

@PDXforAll Can you set the record straight with data? Because all of the data I’ve seen has shown a major drop in District 1 votes for city council from 2022 to 2024 (a presidential election year no less)

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@mattmcnallypdx Truly the most important reflection is that the new voting system created a barrier for Portland’s most vulnerable groups from participating.

@shanedkavanaugh Watching progressives contort themselves to justify this has truly been something

@portlandmercury Heres what actual journalism looks like:

@HughThunkIt @BadgerJust Hahaha no I can’t engage with someone with a bio that’s so lol cringe self-righteous

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@HughThunkIt @BadgerJust Oh god, the self-righteous in this post made me throw up

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@metalgearjelly @portlandmercury I showed it to my mom, grandma and non-native English speaking father in law���none of them understood it. They spent their whole lives just picking one person. I’ve also heard of many others who were overwhelmed by having 30 city council candidates to choose from and gave up

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@JtrTurner @BadgerJust Boom. Receipts

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@PRADAPDX @Oregonian @shanedkavanaugh Cool statement. No data to back it up.

Now explain why nearly 50k people in District 1 (Portland’s poorest and most diverse) voted for city council in 2022 and in 2024, the most optimistic figures show a -15% drop?

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@BadgerJust Cool. Or you could be honest with yourself and have enough curiosity to ask why we went from 50k district 1 city council voters in 2022 to whatever number you shared. If the idea was to make voting more accessible, RCV failed

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@BadgerJust But hey, thanks for sharing those numbers. Now let’s compare that to the nearly 50k that voted for city council in District 1 in 2022, a non-presidential election year no less

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@BadgerJust Lol, I’m talking about white progressive VOTERS

[Scott Coolbaugh @CoolbaughScott]

@SethAGinger @portlandmercury This article is so lazy. No data to back up the Mercury’s claims and they neglect to examine how voter participation did actually crater in District 1, our city’s poorest and most diverse area. They refuse to acknowledge that because candidates favored by white progressives won
