It’s worth watching this video to see what Benny describes as the “army of Antifa”
BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland. Noem says: "Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better. Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed." Noem isn’t chicken:🐥

The Aberdeen Daily World, located in Rep. Jim Walsh’s district, republished my article from Tuesday but added quotes from Walsh that were not included in The Seattle Times version of the story. The Daily World also altered our original headline.

Landlords are raising rental listing prices by more than 50% to profit from the fires. Penal Code 396 prohibits price-gouging during a state of emergency. @bad_tenant has started a doc of the listings: bit.ly/price-gouging-vulture… Contributions welcome!

Posts on social media this week alleged "the stink" across parts of SW WA and Portland came from a paper mill near Longview. The company denies that allegation. Experts say they're still sniffing out the answer. opb.org/article/2024/10/17/s…

It appears there was a lot of inaccurate correlative reporting on this topic over the past 3-4 years, according to medical research. wweek.com/news/state/2024/10…

I can't state this enough to anyone in government who will listen: If we ask for records, just give them. It's easier for everyone involved.

Deschutes County sheriff candidate previously called his past employment records a "nothing burger." When OPB requested those records, Kent Vander Kamp's attorneys threatened to drag us into court. opb.org/article/2024/10/09/k…

Police in Vancouver, WA knew a man’s gun was fake within hours of police fatally shooting him. Yet they never included that detail in public releases or footage. opb.org/article/2024/08/02/v…
