Also worth noting Drazanโs testimony in committee continued the brazen claim that Project 2025 is just policy guidance from a random nonprofit and not to be worried about.
These people will let Trump walk all over Oregon if they win. But weโre all definitely overreacting ๐ค

According to Drazanโs testimony - this bill does nothing and protecting children wasnโt worth the legislatureโs time.
According to Haydenโs testimony immediately after - the bill does too much and heโs scared of the power it gives BOLI.

This story is so notable for all the Oregon Republicans who dodged simple questions from reporters at the Capitol when they could not simply ignore our emails. Fabulous and illuminating reporting from @shaanthx.bsky.social

Really hope that every single journalist is asking Republican leadership and upcoming candidates about the specific aspects of Trumpโs agenda they will be letting into the state with absolutely no pushback if they are put in charge.
Thereโs some ugly values out there that voters deserve to know.

Iโm sure a PR excuse will arise, but the only actual explanation here is that Republicans donโt want to go on the record opposing a likely future action by Trump or his administrationโs guiding policy framework, even when the cost is the safety of Oregonโs children.

A vote count of HB 4013, snowing nearly all Republicans voting against the bill.
Bill came out of committee unanimously supported. No opposition testimony on the record. All stakeholders happy.
Once it hit the Floor? Every Republican (except Mannix) voted against.

Rep Grayber (@djgrayber.bsky.social) brokered a bill between labor, business, and agencies that would ensure Oregonโs child labor protections canโt get weaker than they are right now as a result of Federal action. If Oregon wants to change its own laws? Fine. If Feds try to change it for us? Nope.

Think the Feds wonโt do it?
50% of Project 2025โs recommendations have already been implemented, and its architect runs the budget office for the White House. Itโs not a question of โifโ but โwhenโ.

Our stateโs child labor laws are tied to the FLSA. If the Feds weaken protections, Oregonโs get weaker too.
Project 2025 recommends rolling back these laws for kids, especially when it comes to โdangerous workโ. Several states have already weakened their protections for children as young as 12.

From the Libertarian community on Reddit: Libertarian Party calls to abolish ICE, warns of creeping authoritarianism
Posted by UncleBuckReddit - 276 votes and 14 comments
The Libertarians have something to say. Sure would love to know where all my self-proclaimed OrLeg โlibertarian leaningโ colleagues are on this and why they are wholly silent in the face of state-sanctioned violence.

Disgusting, inhumane, and unforgivable. Abolish ICE. RIP Alex Pretti.
Only voting for candidates that run on holding this administration legally accountable for their actions, and clarifying the boundaries of the Executive Branch so this can never happen again.
I fear we have a long way to go.

Democrats need to realize ICE isnโt justโor even primarilyโa mass deportation force.
ICE is also Trumpโs most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

Lessons from the NICU
An Oregon dad's unexpected journey through 7 weeks of survival
With our family now on a new chapter of an intense healthcare journey - I decided to revisit the last long stay we had at the hospital and some of what I wrote while in the NICU with my son.
It ends happily - which could be why I felt like brushing it off.
