Scrolling check point: Portland, OR spring rain this morning.

Go to reps.fyi right now. Call your two US Senators and your US Representative. Tell them you need them to put their careers and reputation on the line to remove the President from office, now. Nobody - not MAGA, not your grandmother who is a Republican, nobody - can support "civilization will die."

Why yesterday's No Kings Protest mattered beyond the numbers. #Portland #NoKings #Protest

Hear me out... Portland City Council needs a shot clock 🏀⏲️ That, plus a bit on what I mean when I say "collaborative leadership" and my approach to delegating and trusting my team in this clip from my interview with @bikeportland.org. Full interview: bikeportland.org/2026/04/09/p...

A few thoughts on housing, homelessness, the need for a new housing bond, and Inner Eastside for All:

Let's get rid of the Marquam Bridge and I-5 in inner SE. A few thoughts as you watch this clip: - This isn't a new idea. - We'd recover dozens of blocks of the most valuable developable land in the City. - It will never happen LATER if we don't talk about it and plan for it NOW.

A few thoughts about the need for: - A consistent, competitive process to award funding to nonprofits - A re-evaluation of the City / County relationship - An independent audit of the (extremely) over-cost Bull Run Filtration Project - A PUBLIC process to award PUBLIC money to the Moda Center

OOOHHHHH

Portland deserves leaders who know how to work together to get stuff done, and that's exactly what my experience, education, and work has always been about!

In my view, Portland's public safety conversation a) needs to NOT just be about law enforcement, and b) needs to be honest about and address systemic, root-cause issues, even as we work to make positive change in the short-term.

MAGA: Consistently Clueless.

In light of the disastrous Virginia ruling, it’s clear we can’t wait for the courts to save us. To protect our state and country, we need to run Democrats with track records of winning in Trump-dominated areas. I’ve done that three times. I’ll do it again as your nominee for Governor. #mepolitics
