A reader comes to us with a little back-of-the-envelope math: “Portland Public Schools’ annual budget is $2.17 billion—about $49,000 per student. Couldn’t we put the kids into pods of 10 students and give the parents $490,000 a year to allocate?” https://t.co/fQ2togsnuJ

Interesting findings by @MetroAuditor on Metro regional government's use of $475M parks + nature bond.

Lack of clear goals + little spending to increase equitable public access to nature, including for residents w/disabilities and BIPOC residents: https://t.co/I5rgMsu3Sh

@jimcramer I first thought it was the guy who played Mike Ehrmantrout on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul

If Biden shoots down the balloon, it will be the first thing he’s ever done to combat inflation.

@2picklesinabun1 @KOINNews Well I’m all ears. What’s it “really” about?

@religiongal I think making this a subscriber only story makes it hard to actually influence anyone

@uoregon As a former Mormon and a former student of BYU-Idaho, I’m really curious to know what the heck was chanted 😂

@ThisIsJus Which libertarians carry a thin blue line flag? Yikes!

@MarkHamill George’s quote is what I tell people who say they honestly liked The Last Jedi

@ThisIsJus @kreativenothing I just think some of these questions were a little too basic, but leading questions often are

[Ted Yanez @wheresteddy]

@ThisIsJus @kreativenothing He probably doesn’t have one around there — Do I really need to do the “easy” thinking for you…?

[Ted Yanez @wheresteddy]

@ThisIsJus @kreativenothing The existence of a tattoo is probably enough to do him in. It doesn’t take long after you process what’s going on to notice something like a tattoo.

[Ted Yanez @wheresteddy]

@ThisIsJus @kreativenothing It sounds like people are reading between the lines. He gave scars and tattoos as a clear example.

[Ted Yanez @wheresteddy]

@MarkHamill We disagree a lot, Mark, but I’m not ditching you. I benefit from different viewpoints.

That said, I do think it has something more to do with people jumping ship due to @elonmusk buying the platform.

@TheBillPost @coachgeigs @reaganknopp That’s fair. With such a huge field, it’s anyone’s game at this point.

[Ted Yanez @wheresteddy]

@TheBillPost @coachgeigs @reaganknopp Who you got for the nominee? Swingin’ Stan Pulliam?

[Ted Yanez @wheresteddy]

@reaganknopp Just keep pushing and being more sane and it shouldn’t be as difficult as in the past. Hubris will be your downfall if we underestimate them yet again.

@sbvegas @JacobDVandever Many “Independents” in Oregon seem to act like embarrassed Democrats that want to see a change but aren’t willing to consider a real third party.
