2024 Subaru BRZ named "Best Affordable Sports Car"
1It’s hard to believe I’ve been testing the back-to-basics Subaru BRZ sports car since 2013, the model year it was first introduced. It seems fresh every time because it is so simple but purposeful – a car designed for nothing but cheap thrills, despite being available with the latest automotive technologies. Car and Driver gave it a 2024 Editor’s Choice Award for Best Affordable Sports Car. The BRZ was co-designed with Toyota, which produces a mechanically identical version called the GR86. They are only available...

More Oregon leaders react to U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion medicine
Oregon political leaders continued to react Friday, June 14, after the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld access to mifepristone, a widely available abortion drug, earlier in the week.

The decision, released Thursday, only rules that the plaintiffs in this case — anti-abortion doctors — don’t have standing to sue because they do not prescribe the drug themselves. ...
