@Oregonian "As we're learning and kind of figuring out what works." @OHSUNews Dr. Peters on prepubescent experimentation of youth gender transition surgeries. How will OHSU handle it when the tens of millions they get in federal grants go away?

Federal judge Michael Simon drops the case that was an injunction against SB 1599, which moved the vote on the gas tax to the May ballot. Below is what he said. He is Democrat US House Rep Susan Bonamici’s husband.

@oregoncitizen_ It absolutely is an achievement! It validates federalism. Get the fed back to basics of diplomacy, defense, international trade. If states can create their own "CDC" they can abolish the CDC and every other non-constitutional agency and cut federal taxes/budget accordingly.

@TinaKotek Thank you so much for demonstrating there is no need for a federal CDC and most other fed agencies in place such as Dept of Ed and Dept of Ag. This is what true federalism should look like. Now work with Senators and reps to dump most fed agencies and cut fed taxes accordingly.

Governors Bob Ferguson, Gavin Newsom, and I co-founded the West Coast Health Alliance, which grounds its decisions in facts, data, and expert consensus. Oregonians who want vaccines should not face artificial barriers due to the Trump administration.

🚨Must watch: Already indoctrinated 15 year old Muslim ☪️ boy tried to defend fake prophet Mohammed having se*x with a minor —He got schooled . Sam also destroyed their “usual defence of marrying a minor” saying it was a norm at the time of Mohammed . #IranWar #IslamisAscam

@elonmusk It would be nice if this dramatically reduces/eliminates the fees for businesses in comparison to regular credit cards. Cards are such a common practice it is now a literal inflationary element as businesses have to charge that much more to recoup the cost of people using cards.

This will be big
Teslaconomics@Teslaconomics

I don’t think people truly understand what’s about to happen with 𝕏 Money. This is Elon going back to his roots - back to x.com - and building what he always wanted in the first place: one place that runs your entire financial life. When he rebranded Twitter to 𝕏 in 2023, he said straight up that we’re adding the ability to conduct your entire financial world. He even said you may not even need a traditional bank account. Most people brushed that off. And now it’s becoming real. 𝕏 Money has already been live in closed beta internally within the company. A limited external beta is expected soon, and they’ve already secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 states plus DC. 𝕏 Payments is registered with FinCEN. Visa is officially partnered. You’ll be able to fund your wallet instantly, send peer-to-peer payments, move money to your bank, and eventually use a debit card. And I think this is just the beginning. This will probably start as a simple wallet where you can send money as easily as sending a DM. With this technology, you can pay creators, pay subscriptions, pay whatever bills, shop inside the app, get paid inside the app, and much more. Then, there will be high-yield savings, you can invest, you can get loans, have money market accounts, maybe even treasury access, cool smart cashtags that let you see live stock prices in your timeline and execute trades seamlessly, crypto integration, potentially full asset management… the list goes on and on… Elon literally said this is meant to be the central source of ALL monetary transactions. Bro… think about that for a sec. Your 𝕏 profile becomes your financial identity. Everyone you follow is already there. Everyone you interact with is already there. That social graph becomes your distribution engine. Like, you won’t need a separate banking app, no need for a separate investing app, no need for a separate payment app… this all lives where you already spend your time. Right here on 𝕏. Look at WeChat in China, which Elon always alluded to. Payments, messaging, shopping, investing - all integrated in one app. It handles $ trillions in volume and became deeply embedded in everyone’s daily life. Now 𝕏 is building the Western version of that, but with a more global reach, and xAI’s AI layered on top of all this. Before you call me crazy, you have to understand how big this opportunity is. Digital payments globally are measured in the tens of $ trillions of dollars annually. Even just capturing a small slice of that across hundreds of millions, and eventually a billion, users can change everything. 𝕏 already has the audience. That lowers customer acquisition costs significantly. Add fintech revenue on top of ads, plus float, plus lending, plus investing tools, and we’re talking about a completely different valuation profile. Now, $44B for this company looks like the bargain of the decade… this was one of the main reasons I invested in 𝕏. And if they execute the way they’ve executed at Tesla and SpaceX, this could truly fundamentally redefine how people handle $ . Most people today still see 𝕏 as just a social media app. I see it as the foundation of a financial system layered on top of a global network. Ultimately becoming the “everything” app. And this I believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Elon is calling this a game-changer. I believe him.

Oregon Democrats disregard the Constitutional referendum process and vote to move the transportation tax to the May ballot. Why, because it is politically inconvenient in November, and NO Dem wants to be on the ballot next to it in the general election. share.google/ultAVrUrcSSLp7…

@RonWyden is part of the Senate Select intelligence committee. Why has he and the rest of the committee has ignored Epstein being intricately tied into our nation's intelligence apparatus for decades? Why is Epstein so intertwined with classified national security information?

A bill passed by lawmakers in Oregon would financially punish landlords who contact law enforcement about a tenant's illegal immigration status. The migrant tenant would be able to collect damages if he or she can show it was done to retaliate. The bill heads to Gov. Tina Kotek's desk for signature.

@SandyofCthulhu Some states and localities have passed laws that allow food like this to be donated by restaurants and caterers while protecting them from liability. Portland is one of those places. Friends and orgs who host events routinely announce leftovers will be donated.

I'm not defending Krispy Kreme for making too many donuts, but I assume it's not always easy to predict what you'll need. But consider: If Krispy Kreme kept the donuts till the next day, they'd be stale. If Krispy Kreme gave away the donuts free that night, then who would buy them? If Krispy Kreme donated them to shelters and homeless, then they'd be liable if anything went wrong, in the litigious society we now have. It's lose-lose for Krispy Kreme. That said, I am not actually a fan of Krispy Kremes. I prefer the many mom-and-pop donut shops I used to patronize in Texas, which in keeping with Texas law, were all run by Koreans.
DramaAlert@DramaAlert

Krispy Kreme is being SHAMED for throwing away HUNDREDS of donuts allegedly.

@CiattaForHD33 @GovTinaKotek You know it's bad when @wweek is calling out the lunacy of the @ORDems non-stop money grabs. And yet the paper will keep endorsing the long time incumbents who continue wrecking the state with insane policies.

The epitome of actions speaking louder than words. Kotek's Prosperity Council seems to be learning the hard way that @GovTinaKotek was full of it. "Schnitzer says he told Kotek. “This bill creates a disincentive for businesses to invest in this wonderful state. Why would we do that?”" wweek.com/news/state/202…

@Sadie_NC I support the voter ID D push, but don't expect the SCOTUS to save the day on it. Constitutional amendment are a precedent for changing voter laws at the federal level. That's what it took to make states accept blacks and women voting.

Get ready, everyone. As soon as the Senate approves the SAVE Act and President Trump signs it into law, a progressive activist judge will declare it unconstitutional and block it. Every Democratic-led state will file lawsuits against it. When that initial ruling gets overturned on appeal, they’ll shop around for another judge, then another, and keep going. Their goal is to delay things until after the midterm elections. If all that fails, the governors in those states will simply ignore the ID requirement for voting. It’s inevitable. I hope the Supreme Court is prepared to expedite the case, because that will be necessary.

@RepYunker This is the price Kotek and her fellow @ORDems pay for gerrymandering the hell out of the state. Blue districts with narrower party margins creating moderated democratic party members.

Wednesday, HB 4098 went down, defeated with help from moderate Democrats willing to vote their conscience. After the vote, reports surfaced that those members were called into the Governor’s office and pressured to change their votes. The bill never came back Thursday. HB 4098 is dead.

@LPOregon @Real_EdDiehl Great maneuver! Even though it will likely pass in the end cutting 9-10 days off the May voter guide solicitation will strengthen the lawsuits fighting back at this Dem power abuse. And force the Dems to publicly defend their unethical maneuver.

As a chief petitioner, I stand with my Republican colleagues to fiercely defend Oregon’s referendum process and voter’s rights. The people, not politicians, launched this Referendum, collecting over 250,000 signatures, in the cold and rain, to halt a $4.3 billion tax hike and demand their vote. No tricks to force it into the low-turnout May primary to avoid accountability. No rule changes to suppress or skew the outcome. Let Oregonians decide in November!

@KOINNews Someone should tell the @ORDems that big tech won't choose a state that can't even reliably power air conditioners on a warm day. While Dems are drooling over big tech dollars, they fail to recognize every major tech company is saying space is where data centers will end up.
