Good Morning, News: Debate Prep, Waiting for Republicans, and A Women's Soccer Update

Stay up to date on Portland news and politics. Looking for fun? Here are the best Things to Do in Portland today.

Good morning, Portland! Today is our last day of relative sunshine before a couple rainy days—better go get some tepache before the shitty weather strikes.

Here are the headlines.

Debate Me, Bros: The traveling folk supergroup known as the Democratic presidential candidates will have their first two-night debate starting tomorrow night. On Wednesday, all eyes will be on Elizabeth Warren.

Warming Warnings: A UN expert is predicting that climate change's global devastation will lead to a kind of "climate apartheid" system, in which some people are hit much harder than others. We might like to think of nature as a great equalizer, but nothing exists in a vacuum.

Bills, Bills, Bills: As state Republicans continue their Idaho tourism gonzo marketing campaign, the fate of a bill that would limit state carbon emissions hangs in the balance. But that isn't the only bill threatened by the GOP's absence.

Release the Report: We're still waiting for the Trump Administration to release the intelligence report on the death of Jamal Khashoggi, a US-based journalist who died at the Saudi embassy in Turkey under very suspicious circumstances last year. Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden is pressuring them to release the report—and says if they don't, he will.

"I'd Like to See Things Moving":

Some Good News: Following women's soccer is one of those things I feel like I should do, but admittedly do not. Don't be like me! This apparently has never been a better time to be a women's soccer fan in Portland—let Erin O'Regan fill you in on the local and national scene.

Sentence of the Day: "In crafting the story of something that should never have been allowed to happen, we forge the story of something that couldn’t possibly have happened."
