"GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! 👋 Get ready for a partly sunny (and still hazy) weekend, with temps hovering around the 86 degree mark today and dipping into the upper 70s on Saturday and Sunday. I would make a reference to the "hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer," but if you're like me, you've only experienced two of those things. Now let's read up on some hazy, crazy, and never lazy NEWS!"
"IN LOCAL NEWS: * Lots of people-probably including yourself-are not happy about the federal government spending your tax dollars to finance Israel's continuing genocide of the Palestinian people. And yesterday a large group of Portlanders and elected officials gathered to hold a press conference outside of City Hall to urge Oregon's congressional lawmakers to stop providing financial (tens of billions of dollars so far) and military support to Israel in their ongoing siege on the people in Gaza."
The Mercury requests small monthly contributions to sustain local newsreporting, arts and culture coverage, an event calendar, and annual hosted events. A partly sunny and hazy weekend is forecast with highs near 86 degrees today and upper 70s on Saturday and Sunday. Portlanders and officials held a press conference outside City Hall urging Oregon's congressional delegation to stop providing financial and military support to Israel and to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act. Senator Ron Wyden strongly criticized Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for attempts to gut and reshape the CDC, limit vaccine access to millions, and endanger American lives.
