GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Sittin' back with this mic in my hand. Spittin' hot shit, tryin to see a grand. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

In a weeeeeird coincidence, threats of violence against Oregon Gov. Kate Brown have increased since Trump's been in office.

The Portland Housing Bureau has chosen a new location to install more affordable housing in the Cully neighborhood.

Starting today there's a burn ban in Multnomah County for those of you LIKE MY EX-NEIGHBOR who used to build a smokey fire in his backyard when it was 95 frikkin' degrees!

Lying liar Donald Trump is denying that he trashed British PM Theresa May in a RECORDED interview with a tabloid, and now claims she is doing a "terrific job." What a goddamn lying idiot he is.

Expect tens of thousands of protesters to show up in London today to protest the lying liar's visit.


In one of the most craven displays of Republican bias yet, a joint committee of lawmakers questioned former FBI agent Peter Strzok for NINE HOURS yesterday.

Stormy Daniels was arrested—and then unarrested—during an Ohio strip club show by cops who were probably politically motivated.

Oh, and Sacha Baron Cohen has responded to Palin and her cohorts in the most Sacha Baron Cohen-way possible... in a tweet featuring his newest character:


Now let's look up at the WEATHER: Somewhat less hot today with a mere high of 90, and a similarly warm weekend awaits.

And finally, if you want hard and fast proof how ridiculous Republicans can be, check out the craziest moment from the FBI agent Peter Strzok kangaroo court trial.
