You know Colbert and Kimmel will come out swinging and an hour of Seth's #ACloserLook would barely scratch the surface. Be sure your DVR is set, this is going to be fun!

Now to watch NBC pretend Snoop Dogg isn't afraid of lesbians as its marketing for The Voice kicks into overdrive. ๐ฟ
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Poker Face is the definition of bingeable tv. Smart, funny, entertaining, quirky crime. Love the base premise but each episode is different. Finish one and can't wait to begin the next! The BBQ episode with the dog? ๐!
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Thank god, Colbert, Kimmel, and Seth return tomorrow night. Where the heck do they begin?!?
Exactly. Keep the pressure on. Trump will not stick with anyone he thinks may be dragging him further down. That was the beginning of his distancing from Elon. Keep the pressure on. RFK must go.
40 cents per gallon. That's sort of a usage fee that EVs are naturally excluded from.
What I'm not seeing anyone reporting is changes wrt EV and hybrids. I don't drive much but pay more toward road stuff than EV users do because of the gas tax.
Many of us this age have our elderly parents living with us. We do. So how do we protect them from COVID if we're unable to get vaccinated? The GOP is a survival of the fittest death cult. Even though its leaders wouldn't survive a hot second without medical intervention. Crazy times we live in.
With kids going back to school and multigenerational households... We've heard of entire families having COVID before but that's when they were all vaccinated and their cases were mild. I suspect it's about to get really scary out there.
Strangers with Candy...
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasnโt the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
Really disappointed in some in the lineup. I'll never be able to unknow they did this. www.visitsaudi.com/en/riyadh/ev...
If you enjoyโฆ Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays โฆ then youโre part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Shoutout to Oregon! It was the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday? ๐
Who knew Rudy was so rude? His loss, Cow. #moo
Finally watching Poker Face and oooohh!! ๐

Last night's SNL repeat... You know the timing of this one was planned. Expect to hear this week that lots more are leaving/'not returning', but who? #SNL
Interesting tip. Thanks! I notice when I see protests internationally but hadn't considered international media as a source of information for what's happening here. ๐

He wonโt let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
While many in DC are kissing RFK Jr.'s ass, Congresswoman Dr. Maxine Dexter from Oregon is not.
Someone please take this person to the bread aisle at the grocery store where there's plenty of bland bread.
What a dick. ๐
Oregon and unions ๐ค.
I can only imagine how the news you get from your local stations is different than what I get in Portland. Our news about red SE Oregon probably pales in comparison to what you see about Idaho.
Birthday treats at your house! ๐ฅณ
Some local outlets here are more dedicated to truth than others, and noticeable turnover gives me hope that at least some journalists are in it for the good fight. Love seeing resources like @meidastouch.com and @democracydocket.com emerge as trustworthy media leaders and homes for truth-tellers.
Sal Saperstein, baby!
Well deserved... and rare... 15/10. ๐ฅฒ
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
Severance Season 2: What. The fuck. Was that?
WOW. Health care premiums are rising everywhere. How much in your state? Perhaps a bigger question, how many will *lose* health care just as the country is primed to get much sicker and hospitals close?
If you use Walgreens for prescriptions, heads up. ๐
I get that, but national news is much more cringeworthy than local news here. I'm in Portland, one of the whitest cities in the country, but it's also a blue sanctuary city. Frankly, a couple local stations here could teach networks a thing or two about factual, unbiased reporting.
I've long accepted network news is shit and continues to get dramatically worse. I get the truth here but like most people, I don't have time to take deeper dives. At least I can get a hint of the chaos and lies while doing chores.
Mr. Brain Worm making his favorite time of the year even more special. โ ๏ธ
I'm in Oregon, watch a couple network newscasts to keep up with national news, but this is the first I've heard of this case. You know if it were reversed, the Hispanics shot a guy for being white, it would be breaking news.

Reuters: MOST TRUMP TARIFFS ARE NOT LEGAL, U.S. APPEALS COURT RULES
Ah, yes. Joni Ernst, the "We all are going to die" lady.
Vote for Dana!
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isnโt normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
2 hours ago saw Christmas decorations at Costco - right next to a huge skeleton. (Snowmen at the far left, Christmas figurines (not pictured) behind the scary black pumpkins.)
Oregon. ๐
Lovely.
The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.
ICE detained two firefights who were working to stop a wildfire. These people are risking their lives to keep communities safe. How does this make Americans safer? Every day this Administration finds a new way to show how backward and inhumane it is. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
I'm hoping they come to Oregon to work at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute now that Nike's Phil and Penny Knight just donated $2 BILLION to it. @ohsuknight.bsky.social #GiveCancerHell
How dare you take him to the vet! Meanie!
Poor, Susan Collins. She fucked around and now she's finding out how much people hate her for it.
What. The. Fuck. ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ
Bright side, maybe Heidi Gardner's role in Shrinking will expand?
Yep. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ben Marshall move up.
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
OREGON. #Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read talks vote-by-mail. No doubt this will be worth watching.
Sweet! Straight Talk has been very insightful wrt all the b.s. happening now. Looking forward to watching your visit, Tobias!
Flashbacks to Oregon's 2020 Labor Day fires have begun. I watched the smoke literally roll in. The sky turned from blue to ick in minutes. Soon I couldn't see across the street. Then evacuations, traffic jams, burned communities, worst air in the WORLD - all during pre-vaccination COVID. Horrific!
@hrc.org I support the work you do but grrr... I recently bought a t-shirt from you at a pride festival and have received *several* fundraising calls since. Does that really work? I was going to order more from you but not now. Bummer.
Love the estimated delay. ๐คท

BREAKING: In a major win for voting rights, an Arizona Court tosses a GOP lawsuit that tried to make voting by mail even harder. With nearly 90% of Arizonans voting by mail โ this ruling protects voters from mass ballot rejections based on minor signature mismatches.
Wow
They don't feel shame, but they care deeply about status. Wanting to be liked--or at least envied--is their Achilles heel. We can use that against them:it's cheap, non-violent & effective. Social shunning of elites supporting Pinochet helped bring down the Chilean dictator: it can work here too.
BBC and American media please take note...
As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.
Most media outlets simply parrot others. Give them content that could attract eyeballs and they'll repeat it.
The one in Beaverton is already open.
The GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill" doesn't just include federal tax cuts. Because Oregon automatically adopts the federal code, it could blow a $373M hole in Oregon's budget. #orpol #orleg www.opb.org/article/2025...
Itโs bad enough to flatter the boss as a requirement for employment. But itโs even worse to sell out your fellow Oregonians along the way.

Put Salt Lake City 2034 on your calendar now. I worked Salt Lake 2002 and I'm not a winter sports person but it was amazing and SLC knows how to do Olympics right.
Mr. Over Exposure.
I've been an Olympics fan since I was a kid. Attended 2 and worked on staff at a 3rd. I was super stoked for LA but there's no way I'll attend now. I'm heartbroken for the organizing committee to have to deal with all this.
Pizza Hut has set the bar very low to outpizza it. My $2.60 pizza tonight. Since when did they start coming in a pot pie tin? Do not recommend, even for $2.60.
Yours looks good. My $2 pizza just now came in a pot pie tin and tasted like it came from an aluminum tin. I suspect Pizza Hut is switching their process and it's not good. Wasn't like this a month ago. Bummer.
Now that's how to celebrate a birthday! ๐ฅณ
Portland, get ready.
Right?! I just saw that episode last night was like, Oh! Oh! Oh! ๐

NEW: A federal appeals court has ruled mail-in ballots that Pennsylvania voters submit without proper dates on the return envelope may *not* be discarded. The ruling, if it stands, would likely boost Democrats in future elections.

This sort of thing is why I consider Oregon Congresswoman Maxine Dexter a badass. Backpacking to meet with folks? ๐
Not a popular guy in these parts.
Interesting story. I had no idea how 'new' the current location is. I thought it's been there forever.
Will never ever forget that week.

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
if you havenโt been paying attention a whole lot of countries just arenโt shipping to the US now because of tariffs
Watch this space as more SNL cast changes are announced. Devon Walker is likely the first of several not returning.
The dumbassery is astonishing.
Public โ free. That said, public info from a government agency shouldn't cost an unreasonable amount.
No one is saying we'd like a dictator.
