Kotek and her allies force power bills to go up... promptly blames Trump.
NEW:
BPA says a court order issued at the behest of the State of Oregon, environmentalists and tribes will ⬆️ rates for its electricity by 6-7% over next 2 yrs.
OR Gov Tina Kotek ordered the state to join the suit last fall & celebrated order as a win for salmon.

A Class A Motorhome can top out at around 30k lbs, but most don't break the 26k lb CDL barrier. Most states do exempt any RV for private use, though.
PS: If your skid+truck up there blows past the 26k lb limit, you're probably smuggling lead.

It has begun.
As of 5pm EST today, all non-critical federal funding for EVERYTHING stops, pending review:
🚨🇺🇸TRILLION-DOLLAR FREEZE: TRUMP HITS PAUSE ON ALL FEDERAL FUNDING
In a sweeping move, the White House just ordered every federal agency to stop all grants and loans - effective tomorrow at 5pm.
White House Office of Management and Budget acting director Matthew Vaeth:
"Career appointees have a duty to align Federal spending with Presidential priorities"
The pause impacts everything from foreign aid to domestic programs, while the administration reviews where taxpayer money should go.

A higher price on a good in shortage forces people to only buy what they absolutely need, and nothing more. Otherwise, the first folks to arrive would suck it all down, leaving none for anyone else.

Oregon spent an estimated $1.47B on services for undocumented immigrants in 2024, while saying there’s no money for roads, schools, or public safety. This highlight comes from the latest full episode of Oregon D.O.G.E. — watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.

Folks, please disregard the contents of Mr. Walsh's post, especially if you live in this corner of Oregon (near/in Portland) like I do.
Here's why you should ignore this man's pronouncement:
- Purity tests are stupid and small-minded. We ALL disagree with some point or other on the GOP platform, and if you don't, then you're no better than the sheep who get all of their thinking done by MSNBC.
- For the Christians out there, recall that Jesus hung out with tax collectors and prostitutes for a reason; go look up that reason, and learn from it.
- As for abortion: I'm 100% pro-life. I also believe that we can only get there one step at a time, mostly winning via persuasion and incremental improvements, and not by some massive all-or-nothing imposed-by-fiat effort.
- Most important of all, here in/around Portland, you will find a LOT of lost souls that believe bad things, but if they have good hearts (and most do!), you can bring them 'round. Sit. Listen. Talk. You'd be amazed at how many people you can convert just by doing these three things.
Play the long game, and avoid bullshit short-term-thinking all-or-nothing demands like what Matt is doing here.
Ms. Amber Rose is fully welcome in the GOP as far as I'm concerned.
The RNC gives a primetime speaking slot to a pro-abortion feminist and self-proclaimed slut with a face tattoo whose only claim to fame is having sex with rappers. Truly an embarrassment. Not a single voter will be mobilized by this person.
