Oregon’s Legislative Chaos Has Senators Fleeing to Idaho and a Militia Threatening the Capitol

Quote:
Oregon’s state legislature appeared to be on track last week to pass a sweeping climate change bill aimed at curbing emissions in the state.

At least until Republicans in the state Senate decided to go to extremes to prevent a vote, making a move that resulted in the governor calling in Oregon State Police. And the drama didn’t end there: Democrats cancelled a session Saturday over safety threats from a far-right militia group.

Eleven GOP senators who opposed the bill went all out to prevent a vote, fleeing the Legislature on Thursday. Oregon Democrats have a supermajority, but they aren’t able to vote without a quorum. The move effectively halted the legislative process, and Democratic Gov. Kate Brown ordered state police to find the senators and haul them back to the statehouse. Some had fled to Idaho and other states, out of the jurisdiction of the Oregon police. Each senator faces a fine of $500 per missed session.

But there’s more. Senate leadership shut down the state capitol Saturday after receiving threats from far-right militia groups planning to protest that day outside the statehouse in support of the GOP senators. The Senate’s president, the entire Democratic caucus, and the building’s staff received threats, according to the Associated Press.
And we thought Whell was nuts. These Repubes will go to any extreme to deny the truth. It's gotten completely out of hand. Repubes just need to be jailed and deported. Idaho will take all of them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
Ah yes, now Newt & the GOP are resorting to calling me a liar.

Who else do they call liars?
- 96% of scientists who agree on climate change
- Millions of Americans they locked up in the War on Drugs
- #MeToo survivors

So I’ll take it as a compliment. Thanks.

While trying to attack ⁦@AOC⁩, Newt unwittingly writes a scathing indictment of Donald J. Trump:

“When your goals are that radical, lying is simply part of the game. When you despise American values, lying is perfectly natural.”
