Even though the second Trump administration is only getting started, Oregon has already felt the effects of a wave of executive orders and policy changes.
Watchdog editor Brad Schmidt and politics co-editor Jamie Goldberg join editor Therese Bottomly to talk about local coverage of the Trump effect in Oregon.
They talk about the several lawsuits that Oregon and other states have already launched in response to Trump’s policies.
To date, how many lawsuits have Oregon officials filed against Trump?
They also discuss the status of Oregon and Portland as sanctuary jurisdictions.
Schmidt discusses his team’s immigration efforts and how they have dispelled persistent rumors.
We make an effort to cover at least the day’s most important national news, even though The Oregonian and OregonLive are largely local news sources. However, our work is better focused on providing readers with truly local news and information that they can’t find elsewhere when it comes to allocating resources for local reporting.
These are a few of the articles we have published since Trump’s inauguration.
The impact on Oregon’s research institutes
The impact on certain nonprofit organizations
The financial impact of Oregon’s EV charging network
OHSU Hospital’s gender-affirming treatment
