Why is Donald Trump obsessed with Portland? @MyahWard and I dive in, for @politico: politico.com/news/2025/09/2…
Amazing “kids say the darndest things” moment on the playground where a girl said “I thought israel was a state!”
Portland context: Everyone keeps saying the ICE office is downtown. That's not REALLY true... it's in an out-of-the-way sliver south of downtown scrunched between the freeway and the river.
In June, Portland city officials told me they took many steps - including reforming police practices and developing closer relationships with community advocates - to prevent a repeat of the summer of 2020 and of intervention from Trump. Read that story: politico.com/news/2025/06/1…
"Reid Hoffman, one of the country’s biggest Democratic donors who was named by Trump on Thursday as another potential target, has largely vanished from political giving in 2025 and is much less publicly voluble, people close to him say" nytimes.com/2025/09/26/us/…

Kaleb Horton, one of the coolest guys. read everything he wrote too. such sad news
Benny Safdie promoting ‘The Smashing Machine’ on the subway
ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract. EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: hell yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks
This mismatch between the rhetoric and the ask is amazing. "We can't vote for a spending bill that literally destroys democracy but if you extend one existing health insurance subsidy then everything is fine."
