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.

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…

Recurring odor in Southwest Washington has residents searching for answers

A pungent odor that originated in Southwest Washington and wafted into Portland in recent weeks has left residents wondering where it’s coming from and what it could be.

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.

A late Friday update on this story: Mayor Wheeler has now compared Obama-appointed federal Judge Simon to Sen. Mitch McConnell (see below tweet for statement) for delaying the rollout of this oversight group. opb.org/article/2024/08/29/j…

Judge approves Portland police oversight plan, but delays to 2025

The postdated decision will put more of the oversight board’s future in the hands of Portland’s new, 12-member council.
