Stay up to date on Portland news and politics. Looking for fun? Here are the best Things to Do in Portland today.

GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! Get to the club in a taxi cab, everybody's looking at me now. Like "Who's that chick, that's rockin' kicks? She's gotta be from out of town." LET'S GO TO PRESS.
Following the Iowa Caucus shit-show Monday night, results began trickling in yesterday that originally showed Bernie Sanders having a slim lead in the popular vote, while Pete Buttigieg got more votes from delegates—which OF COURSE inspired an entirely new shit-show on Twitter with conspiracy theorists screaming about how Pete had cheated and Bernie was getting screwed again just like in 2016. This morning the situation is roughly the same with 71 percent of the vote in and Bernie and Pete tied in delegates, but Pete holds a slight lead. Warren is in third and Biden—the guy who Trump was so panicked about he got himself impeached—is a distant fourth. Today the candidates are off to New Hampshire whose primary is next Tuesday.
And for those who are still upset about what's happening in Iowa, it's good to remember the message behind this headline: "It’s useful to remember how limited Iowa’s role in determining a nominee actually is."
Apparently Trump made some speech last night, but since he's a lying liar who has literally lied tens of thousands of times, I feel it would be journalistically unethical to repeat any of his bloviating nonsense. However I will report that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ceremoniously ripped his speech in half, and she was being generous.
Thank goodness for sensible women. #NancyPelosi pic.twitter.com/v570N7UHTX
