    Legal Insurrection ^ | 10/29/25 | Mary Chastain
    The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will rehear the Trump administration’s appeal to deploy and federalize the National Guard to Portland, OR. The “majority of nonrecused active judges” voted to rehear the case en banc. En banc requires the approval of a majority of the judges of the 9th Circuit. In this case, the panel will consist of eleven judges. Last week, a three-judge panel froze a lower court order that stopped President Donald Trump from sending the National Guard to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut placed two restraining orders on Trump: no federalization of the Oregon National Guard...
  • Judge in Oregon bars feds from halting grant funding for sex ed that involves gender identity

    A federal judge in Eugene Monday night granted a preliminary injunction barring the federal government from halting grant funding for sex education programs that include references to gender identities. U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken found the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lacked any grounds to restrict such grant funding and said its new restrictions amounted to sex discrimination. The grants were authorized by Congress to support sex education programs intended to help reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections and adolescent sexual risk behavior based on “medical and social science,” Aiken wrote. Congress also stated the programs must...

    The Oregonian ^ | October 27, 2025 | By Gosia Wozniacka
    Gov. Tina Kotek wants Oregon to go full force on harnessing the potential of forests, farms, wetlands and waterways to reduce emissions, preserve wildlife habitat and help communities withstand the threat of climate change. That’s the focus of a sweeping executive order Kotek issued on Thursday to prioritize conservation on both natural landscapes such as forests or wetlands as well as on so-called working lands – farms, ranches and commercial timberlands. It also includes waterways and state-managed ocean waters. The order comes as the state faces both a significant revenue shortfall due to federal tax cuts and the loss of...
  • Portland Police Finally DISMANTLE Antifa’s 140-Day Encampment

    Gateway Pundit ^ | October 26, 2025 | Gregory Lyakhov
    After 140 days of chaos, disorder, and lawlessness outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, police finally moved in and cleared Antifa’s encampment on Saturday morning. More than 30 officers braved heavy rain to dismantle the site, ordering demonstrators to remove tents, supplies, and gear that had clogged the area for nearly five months. The encampment, long a symbol of Democrat weakness and radical left-wing extremism, collapsed in hours. For conservatives and law-abiding residents of Portland, it was a long-overdue victory for public order. Since June, Antifa activists had effectively taken control of the street outside ICE’s South Portland facility....

    A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland after a judge issued a Temporary Retraining Order (TRO). The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily reinstated Judge Karin Immergut’s TRO on Friday after it halted an order issued by a three-judge panel from the court earlier in the week. President Trump previously called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop deployment. Trump also activated up to 400 Texas National Guard troops for deployment to Oregon, Illinois and other states...

    No other state in the country has a higher prevalence of mental illness. At the same time, access to care in Oregon is improving.As one of her key campaign promises, Gov. Tina Kotek committed herself to battling the state’s persistent mental health challenges. A recent report suggests she still has work to do. More Oregonians struggle with mental health issues than ever before, according to Mental Health America’s newly released 2025 annual report—30% of the adult population.

    The City of Portland assisted a controversial anti-ICE organization in securing a vacant office space on the ground floor of an apartment building directly across the street from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, which has been under siege by demonstrators, many of whom are involved with Antifa networks, since early June. The Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC), a taxpayer-funded non-governmental organization (NGO), is known for conducting trainings on how to disrupt ICE operations, as well as providing guidance to illegal immigrants on the best practices to evade apprehension by federal authorities.

  • Andy Ngo Breaks Down What's Next for Antifa, DOJ Strategy

    10/20/2025 11:17:13 AM PDT · by Eleutheria5 · 14 replies
    Few people understand the far-left extremist group Antifa as well as investigative journalist Andy Ngo, author of “Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.” He has been beaten, attacked, and nearly killed by Antifa for his undercover reporting of the group’s operations. In an executive order signed on Sept. 22, President Donald Trump designated the group a domestic terrorist organization. On Oct. 8, the president hosted a roundtable focused on Antifa and invited Ngo and other journalists to participate. In this episode, Ngo recounts his harrowing personal experiences. What will it take to actually dismantle Antifa? How is Antifa...

    The Dallas Express ^ | Oct 11, 2025 | J Galt
    The White House is spotlighting what it describes as years of unchecked Antifa violence in Portland, Oregon, hosting independent journalists who have documented the unrest as President Donald Trump mobilizes federal resources to address what officials call a “reign of terror” ignored by mainstream outlets. The roundtable, announced Wednesday, highlighted repeated attacks on federal facilities and private businesses in Portland, where residents say local leaders have failed to restore public safety. Since early June, Antifa militants have maintained a violent siege of the ICE field office in south Portland — breaching the facility with a stop sign, hurling explosives at...

    Portland Mayor Keith Wilson ordered the removal of police tape near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility this week despite the federal government's call for the establishment of a perimeter around the ICE location, according to a report on oregonlive.com. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the ICE facility on Tuesday and Portland Police Bureau Chief Bob Day noted that authorities had the vicinity cordoned off for the occasion. But the perimeter was removed on Wednesday, according to the report.

    The radical Antifa militants infesting Portland have issued a brazen call to arms: a coordinated “laser party” aimed at blinding and potentially crashing U.S. military helicopters patrolling the skies over the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Independent journalist Andy Ngo reported the blog’s announcement and said organizers urged participants to converge at different vantage points across the city and “unleash your beam at the cop copter.” According to the announcement: YOU’RE INVITED: LASER TAG! Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The...

    federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing Oregon National Guard Troops. On Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland. Judge Immergut issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops. The TRO will expire on October 18. The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis. On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop...

    In 2020, California imported about 25% of its demand for electricity from Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona due to the capacity limitations of the three utilities that serve the State (Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas and Electric). These capacity limitations resulted from the closure of fossil fuel plants and environmental restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities in California to meet climate change standards. New England, New Jersey, and New York combined imported about 30% of their demand from either neighboring states or Canada. Many utilities in PJM and MISO import electricity from TVA and the...

We are witnessing incredible things. "...time together, that you give us this fellowship, Lord, but that you also give us wisdom and discernment to make the best decisions, not just for the people that are here enforcing the law, but also for the citizens of this country.

    The Hill ^ | 10/08/25 6:00 AM ET | by Alexander Bolton
    Republican senators are increasingly uneasy about President Trump’s standoff with Democratic governors over deploying National Guard troops from other states to Portland, Ore., and Chicago. The conflict between federal and state authorities escalated dramatically over the weekend when Trump moved to send National Guard soldiers to Oregon and Illinois despite opposition from their respective governors, Tina Kotek and JB Pritzker. Trump’s use of military forces was all the more controversial because a Trump-appointed federal judge for the District of Oregon ruled Saturday that the administration could not federalize Oregon’s National Guard to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in...

    The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a longstanding Oregon law barring unannounced audio recordings of in-person conversations, crushing a right-wing media group’s campaign to strike down some of the nation’s strictest restrictions on such forms of content reproduction.The decision leaves in place a January 2025 ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissing a challenge from Project Veritas, a right-wing organization that frequently publishes edited “sting” videos that negatively depict liberal groups and mainstream journalists. The group argued that the law impinges on the First Amendment and free speech protections and secured a...
