Oregon Rep. Blumenauer: Biden should step aside
U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who is retiring from Congress after 28 years, has joined a few of his House Democratic colleagues to urge President Joe Biden to step aside as a candidate for re-election. The Portland Democrat was the first in Oregon’s congressional delegation to make that call in a statement he released Wednesday, July 10. He is the ninth House Democrat to do so. The key observation: ...
OPINION: Oregon's congressional delegation must not remain silent on Biden's candidacy
This isn’t the moment for timidity among Oregon’s Democratic Party leaders. When pressed by local media for their views on whether President Biden should still be at the top of their ticket, five of the six Democrats who represent Oregon in Congress have been either silent, supportive of the president, or deflective of the question. Oregon’s congressional delegation will not decide the president’s fate following his incoherent debate performance two...

Endless opportunities for ball chasing and chomping are located in the 3900 block of Northeast Seventh Avenue outside the couple's home after building a community tennis ball library in honor of their...
Appeals court hears arguments in Oregon lawsuit on Department of Human Services protections for LGBTQ kids
A federal appeals panel heard arguments Tuesday, July 9, in a Malheur County woman’s lawsuit that challenges state adoption rules intended to protect LGBTQ children on the basis of religious and free speech rights. Jessica Bates, who lives in Vale, sued the state in U.S. District Court in Portland in April 2023 after the Oregon Department of Human Services blocked her from qualifying as an adoptive parent. The state requires adoptive parents to support LGBTQ children they adopt — something that goes against Bates’ Christian...
Four tips to make a yard less attractive to ticks
Backyards are ideal places to spend warm afternoons soaking up some sun. Lazy days in the yard are a big part of what makes warm weather seasons like spring and summer so appealing. But those afternoons can quickly go off the rails when an unwelcome visitor makes its presence known. Ticks can be found throughout the world, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that only a select few types of ticks transmit bacteria, viruses, parasites, or pathogens that cause diseases in people....
