This morning, after years of work by hundreds of Portlanders, 4plexes, mixed-income 6plexes, double ADUs, big group homes & backyard RVs became legal almost everywhere in town. I got @nbrhoodwrkshop & @alfred_twu to help show what's likely to happen next. sightline.org/2021/08/01/we-…

Demanding governors overturn results. Coercing state election officials. Insisting state legislators appoint new electors.   Trump lost, and these attacks will not succeed.    But if you believe in democracy, silence is complicity.

The President of the United States literally wants to overturn certified election results and a significant fraction of the GOP rank and file support him and I can’t wait to read the next take about how left-wing cancel culture is the greatest threat facing America.

So, this was pretty awesome. We both care deeply about maintaining confidence in democracy and supporting the real heroes out there, election workers. For those keeping score, the only @Schwarzenegger movie I referenced was Commando. It's a solid 80's action flick. Don't @ me.

I love meeting my heroes. Today I reached out to @C_C_Krebs to let him know he is one of my heroes. He is a great American who stood up for every voter in this country, and I am so grateful that he’s a public servant, not a party servant.

There’s an old joke in DC that where there is a great job opening, @RonaldKlain is the candidate. Why? Because he is competent, kind, intellectually sharp, a superb manager, a team builder and most importantly a dedicated public servant leader.
