Real spending collapsed to end the year, with flat nominal sales and very hot December inflation. Overall, real Q4 retail sales are the weakest of 2025 in terms of GDP contribution, and ATL shaved 46bp off the PCE contribution

Everyone always says if your withholding are too high that you’re giving the government an interest free loan. They don’t realize I’m over here trying to trigger the kicker. #orpol #orleg

For those involved — or preparing to be involved — in Oregon’s 35-day Legislative Session: “Study” bills should not be allowed during a short session. * sigh * #orleg #orpol

Something you don't see every day: Oregon labor unions are targeting moderate Democratic lawmakers with unflattering ads. The aim: Forcing Democrats to reject tax changes in President Trump's H.R. 1 -- and therefore (functionally) raising taxes. #orpol opb.org/article/2026/0…

To all the chaos that has surrounded Oregon’s quest for transportation funding in the last year, add this: Absolutely no one knows what happens next. #orpol opb.org/article/2026/0…

From Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office: “It's important to be alert and aware of possible wildlife while commuting. Though it's unlikely to see a whale on the highway, you may come across deer, elk, and birds.”
