GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Back in school we used to dream about this everyday. Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away? LET’S GO TO PRESS.
The Timberwolves took a bite out of our Blazers this weekend in a squeaker of a game that ended 106-105. Check out the recap from our own Blazers fanatic, Aris Wales.
Think Oregon is soooo progressive? Then what about that 22 percent wage gap in our state? (Women are only making 82 cents for every dollar that men make.)
Good news, drivers: After weeks of construction, all four lanes of the Broadway Bridge are back in business.
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid attacked former occupiers “Bundy and his pals” in a fiery speech, hurting the feelings of Bundy’s lawyer who claims that Reid is pushing the “politics of fear.” Ha. Ha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!! GOOD ONE.
Also in HAHAHA: A Oregon City sea lion tips over a jerk on a jet ski. (FULL DISCLOSURE: I think everyone on a jet ski is a jerk, unless I’m the person on a jet ski.)
Ouch! @LAGalaxy‘s Nigel de Jong goes in hard on @TimbersFC‘s Darlington Nagbe, emerges with a yellow card. #LAvPOR https://t.co/sQS1EQIUZI

As Hillary Clinton gears up to battle Bernie Sanders (who has been gathering serious steam), she still remains focused on the general election, producing ads that claim she’s the country’s best chance at beating Trump.
Speaking of picking up steam, a petition to recall Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (because of his involvement in the Flint water crisis) is gaining signatures by the second.
Canada is facing its own crisis, as a state of emergency has been called after 11 indigenous people (who have historically been treated terribly by the country) attempted suicide on one day.
More and more businesses are pulling out of Mississippi and North Carolina thanks to their stupid, ignorant anti-LGBT laws. HIT THESE HILLBILLIES WHERE IT COUNTS—IN THE POCKET BOOK.
Someone is changing his tune: The CIA chief says he would openly defy Donald Trump and Ted Cruz if either became president and demanded prisoners to be tortured (such as waterboarding).
House Speaker Paul Ryan is already counting on the Republicans losing this year’s election, and has set a plan into motion to rebuild a more electable GOP.
A Seattle homeowner finds various body parts in his recycling bin, including a human foot.
Yes, but what about the WEATHER: A cool and showery week ahead with highs in the mid 50s to low 60s.
And finally, the internet is simultaneously crying “FAKE!” and “OH GOD PLEASE LET IT BE REAL.” It’s the world’s first working hoverboard.
Isn’t the wage gap 18% if women make 82 cents for every dollar men make?
