    All this is also a reminder of how irresponsible it is for companies to buy commercials on Fox News opinion programs and underwrite messaging that is killing Americans.

    Covid deaths are far higher in counties that heavily backed Trump than in counties that heavily backed Biden (swing counties are in the middle). That's because reckless outlets like Fox News spread vaccine resistance that proves fatal. From

    Oregon can also help women in other states gain access to abortion rights. One option would be a clinic in Eastern Oregon to serve women there and in Idaho. Another would be for Oregon telemedicine to provide pills to women in other states. More here:

    I'm thrilled that the FDA is making it easier for women to gain access to the abortion pill. But too many will still lack access to safe abortions. Oregon is a leader in abortion rights, and I'll work to make it a sanctuary for women who need this care.

    Our essential grocery workers deserve dignity and respect and I stand with them as they speak out against unfair labor practices. Thank you to the workers who are stepping up to serve as picket captains. More info below.

    To the left are 3 sepia-toned photos from yesterday's picket captain training. People are gathered around tables, and making signs. To the right on a red background says, "ready to put it all on the (picket) line", in large, tan font.
    The UFCW International has sanctioned our strike authorization vote! We are ready. Do you want to be a picket captain? Attend a training:

    Soaring figures for fentanyl poisonings and overdoses among youth in Oregon and other Western states. We recently lost a 15-year-old neighbor girl from counterfeit pain pills with fentanyl. This is a five-alarm fire and deserves a far more urgent response to save young lives.

    These are INSANE numbers.If NV, OR, CO, CA, NM, AZ, WA health & education officials & leg. reps aren't looking at this and acting with urgency, they are letting many kids die who otherwise could be saved with simple education. Press in these states should be all over this.
