Multnomah County voters will be asked in November if they support extending voting rights to noncitizens through a measure that will test the legal limits of who counties can unilaterally enfranchise. Measure 26-231 would require the county to extend the right to vote to noncitizens as allowed by law, potentially giving more people the chance to vote on county chair, county commissioners, county sheriff, county auditor and county ballot measures. Groups supporting the measure include the ACLU of Oregon, the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon, the Center for Migration, Gender and Justice, the Coalition of Communities of Color, the...

Gasoline prices are high for consumers, but why don't oil companies want to drill for more oil? There's a good reason. Oil prices are high, and there's a desire for greater energy independence around the world. It seems natural that drilling would increase in the U.S., Europe, Brazil, Africa, and even the parts of Europe where oil is available. So, why isn't drilling increasing at a rapid rate? There are a number of reasons, and the market dynamics can give us some answers. While gasoline prices are high at the pump, the market won't be pricing in elevated oil prices...

The desperate tyrant, 70, is feared by Nato to have his finger inching closer to the trigger ready to launch a nuclear show of force. The mounting concerns prompted Defence Secretary Ben Wallace to cancel his plans and jet to Washington for crisis talks this week. Analysts feared Putin would detonate a warhead in the Black Sea, potentially unleashing tsunamis and a poisonous gas cloud. It was also claimed plans were under way to test fire a tactical nuke in the Arctic before launching one on the battlefield in Ukraine. Recent days have seen a number of Notam messages -...

Mystery surrounds Russian nuclear tests that were expected to take this week and never materialised, amid claims they are being 'disrupted' from within. Moscow typically carries out large-scale atomic drills dubbed 'Grom' at this time of year and in recent days had issued a number of airspace alerts over its usual testing grounds - heavily suggesting they would be going ahead. But the US says it has received no alert from Moscow about any upcoming tests and there has been no official word from the Kremlin explaining their absence, with the air alerts due to expire Saturday. That has led...

Today, President Biden is in the battleground state of Pennsylvania with two aims: to highlight the impact of the infrastructure bill he signed into law last year and to help Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman raise money in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Biden’s first stop is the site of a bridge that collapsed in Pittsburgh nine months ago that is rapidly being rebuilt. He’ll then head to Philadelphia to join Fetterman, who faces Republican celebrity physician Mehmet Oz. .....

WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Texas has filed a lawsuit against Alphabet's Google for allegedly collecting biometric data of millions of Texans without obtaining proper consent, the attorney general's office said in a statement on Thursday. The complaint says that companies operating in Texas have been barred for more than a decade from collecting people's faces, voices or other biometric data without advanced, informed consent. "In blatant defiance of that law, Google has, since at least 2015, collected biometric data from innumerable Texans and used their faces and their voices to serve Google’s commercial ends," the complaint said. "Indeed, all...

Outside Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Murray Hill office, small landlords traded war stories Monday morning about New York’s rent relief program. “Three years and 18 months,” said one, double-fisting protest signs denoting how long he’d shouldered his tenants’ arrears. “I’m out $75,000 right now,” another said. “Three years. One house.” Terri, an organizer of the “landlords rights protest” who asked that her last name be omitted for fear of retribution, said her tenant hadn’t paid rent since November 2020. Tired of waiting, she’d agreed to settle, eating $40,000 of arrears in an agreement that should have seen the renter evicted in...
