GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! And even though we know we both fly, we give each other space and not the evil eye. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

Bernie Sanders emerged victorious in the New Hampshire primary last night, closely trailed by Pete Buttigieg and (surprisingly) Amy Klobuchar. Elizabeth Warren finished a distant fourth, followed by (insert sad trombone sound here) Joe Biden.

Next stop for the candidates: South Carolina and Nevada.

Today in yet more BLATANT TRUMP CORRUPTION: On orders from William Barr, the Justice Department said it planned to reduce its sentencing recommendation for Trump crony and criminal Roger Stone. Meanwhile Trump is doing his damnedest to intimidate a federal judge. In response four prosecutors have walked off the case, and one quit his job entirely out of protest. In a time of repeated alarming bullshit, this is some ALARMING BULLSHIT.

Trump's campaign of vengeance continued yesterday with a thinly veiled call to the military to punish Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (who testified against Trump) in any way they pleased. Meanwhile the Republican senators who vindicated Trump are now desperately afraid that the Senate will be flipped in November. LET'S MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

Rich candidate Michael Bloomberg is fighting off attacks from Trump and others after a 2015 audio clip was released in which he defended the racist "stop and frisk" policy.

New cases of the coronavirus have slowed, but China remains on lockdown. The death count has surpassed 1,100.

Ten years into Portland's Bike Plan which promised to turn the town into a world-class biking city, cycling advocates are disappointed with the progress being made. Our Blair Stenvick has the details.

Psychologists called by the defense testified yesterday in the Jeremy Christian trial, saying the accused murderer suffers from some brain impairment but, as OPB reports, "not from any injuries he got in a past altercation with police where he was shot in the face." Wow.
