Proud to stand in Portland this #Juneteenth and #PrideMonth with the ACLU, state Black & LGBTQ+ legislators to say today & everyday we’re not going backward to the awful days when the government weaponized surveillance against these American groups & so many others.

Very much enjoyed beginning this #Juneteenth here in Portland today at the interfaith clergy breakfast with the Coalition of African and African American Pastors/Imams & Bridge Pajoma - two groups that both do so much for our city.

This is hate speech and malinformation. Dr. Fauci is a hero.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard@DNIGabbard
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. odni.gov/index.php/news…

@Osint613 Italy is not a true friend of the United States.

Italian PM Meloni to Trump:
So, certain things deserve an immediate response.
Donald Trump's statements are completely fabricated. I am frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened.
I can only say it's a pity that he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaders towards whom he instead proves to be much more accommodating.
But he must remember one thing: Italy and I never beg.

With the first day of summer still ahead, soaring gas prices from Donald Trump’s Iran war are driving up firefighting costs for Oregon communities at the worst possible time.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

I've spent 66 years in Oregon. The first 20 years were the best. No one was overtly political. In the late 70's the CA transplant wagon came calling. Soon our teachers were unionized and our education system became indoctrination centers. I literally watched normalcy and morality disappear. Veterans parades turned into pride and naked bike rides. There is not a single public condition that has improved in the last 40 years. Oregon and all blue run states are exhibit A in what happens when extremist leftwing democrat policies get a foothold. Affordability is unattainable, our kids don't learn in school, our neighborhoods are unsafe, and retirement looks like survival school. Civic criminality is codified by activist democrat supermajorities. Our state and country will not survive with extremist democrats in power. Normal Oregonians and Americans must reject this destructive democrat doom loop or our country will not survive. The evidence is outside all of our front doors.

No NBA champion has ever visited the White House during a Donald Trump presidency.

For comparison:
2021 Bucks visited Biden
2022 Warriors visited Biden
