Airplanista 🇺🇦<a href="https://pdx.social/@courtney" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@courtney</a> Welcome, Courtney, to <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oregon</a>, <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDX</a> and the gorgeous <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNW</a>. I am in Portlandia a few times each year, short drive from down here in <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugene</a>. Lots to love about the PDX. I am assuming the vibe you are finding is more akin to Austin, lots of creative people, very few Red Hat sightings, great pizza (if you can handle the price, Grrr). I could not live there with a car, traffic is crazy and parking is like ThunderDome. You picked the perfect time of year to start your PNW experience.

Airplanista 🇺🇦We went to a local <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugene</a> store downtown (Kiva) and bought what we needed for the next few days so we can participate in the Blackout tomorrow. Screw the Big Corporations. They abuse their workforce and enrich their Board and C-suite suits with salaries that are insane. <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Bastards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bastards</a> I hope someone is able to track this, because if it is a success, I hope it becomes a regular thing. Ween people off Amazon, Walmart, everything online. If you must buy online, make sure it is a small maker.

MikeIt's nice enough out I may splurge and go out for fish and chips this afternoon, there's a place next door to the fish place where I can grab a Belgian Ale for later. What the hell 😆 <a href="https://beige.party/tags/eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eugene</a>

I know a good Hawaiian place in Florence, just what you were asking for😆 I used to be more in touch when I was on fb, there was a food truck group and a food group... but 🤷 <a href="https://beige.party/tags/eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eugene</a>

Airplanista 🇺🇦At my airport volunteer gig today at <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugene</a> Airport working the information booth. First thing I am required to do is check the lost and found, this is from this morning. Seems water bottles are the theme of the day today.

Airplanista 🇺🇦In our <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugene</a> local daily (which sadly is a shell of its former self these days, grrr) I saw we have a new Vietnamese restaurant in town, Pho King.I thought these guys are super cleaver, but as it turns out, apparently this is not the first time anyone has used that sorta kinda suggestive name.I have to say, I bet they have some PHO KING good chow. But is it pronounced "Fuh" or "Fow" (rhymes with mow)?? I am going with Fuh, rhymes with...Duh.(First pic is the local one).<a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/foodporn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foodporn</a>

Philipp MüllerIt is so neat being able to visit the School of Journalism & Communication at the University of Oregon this week. What a wonderful place. I've already had a lot of inspiring conversations about the troubling times we are in, with many brilliant students & colleagues. Oh, and I also spotted an extraterrestrial vehicle.Many thanks goes to Seth Lewis & Damian Radcliffe for being absolutely outstanding hosts!<a href="https://sciences.social/@commodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@commodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/communicationscholars" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@communicationscholars</a> <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/Oregon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oregon</a> <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugene</a> <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Journalism</a> <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/Communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Communication</a>

Airplanista 🇺🇦<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@Aminorjourney" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Aminorjourney</a> Just worked my volunteer shift at the <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eugene</a> Airport today, and we are part of the Sunflower program. We vols have been trained to give people with hidden disabilities extra help if they are wearing the Sunflower lanyard or button. Unfortunately, in a year I have only had one person wearing one. Seems the program's managers haven't got the word out to the public.

Chuck DarwinUS watchdog to investigate Musk ‘Doge’ team’s access to payment systemsTreasury inspector general to launch audit as judge mulls whether access to sensitive data was unconstitutionalLoren Sciurba, the treasury’s deputy inspector general, said the audit would review the past two years of the system’s transactions to examine Musk’s claim that his team has uncovered evidence of billions of dollars of fraudulent payments.She said the audit – launched in response to demands from the Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden – would begin immediately and 👉take until August to complete.Its launch coincided with a judge in Washington considering a legal suit lodged by Democratic attorneys general from 14 states, arguing that Doge’s work was illegal on the alleged grounds that Trump violated the US constitution 💥by creating a federal government department without congressional approval.The attorneys general argue that Musk has exercised “virtually unchecked power” by entering government agencies and ordering sweeping cuts without oversight or authorization from Congress.<a href="https://c.im/tags/USAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#USAid</a>, the government foreign assistance agency, has been shuttered on his authority and its workforce put on leave, although a judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift the funding freeze it has imposed on the agency’s humanitarian work.The suit, led by New Mexico’s justice department, alleges that Doge has “unraveled federal agencies, accessed sensitive data, and caused widespread disruption for state and local governments, federal employees, and the American people”.A separate hearing in a court in New York was due over whether to extend a temporary block on the Doge team entering the <a href="https://c.im/tags/payments" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#payments</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/system" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#system</a> that was imposed in an interim ruling last Saturday by Judge <a href="https://c.im/tags/Paul" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Paul</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Englemayer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Englemayer</a>. Musk called for Englemayer’s impeachment after that ruling, while JD Vance, the vice-president, wrote in a social media most that judges were not allowed to interfere with a president’s “legitimate power” – a view contested by most constitutional law experts.On Friday, Judge <a href="https://c.im/tags/Jeannette" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Jeannette</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Vargas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Vargas</a> extended the temporary block, though she said she would not yet rule on whether there should be a longer lasting preliminary injunction prohibiting Doge’s access to the treasury payment system.Swingeing cuts continued apace despite the plethora of legal challenges. Federal agency heads were ordered to fire most recent hires who have not completed their probation period – a move likely to affect about 200,000 workers, the Washington Post reported.The treasury department audit coincided with a call from <a href="https://c.im/tags/Chris" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Chris</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Murphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Murphy</a>, Democratic senator for Connecticut, for an official investigation into the “legality and scope” of Musk’s penetration of the federal bureaucracy.“Musk and his aides are subject to various conflict of interest statutes which prohibit federal employees from participating in matters that impact their own financial interests,” Murphy wrote to the US government comptroller general, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Eugene</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dodaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Dodaro</a>.He added: “It is imperative the public understands whether Musk and his aides have complied with the law and whether highly sensitive data could be at risk if accessed by private actors who seek to benefit from the information illegally, or worse, by foreign adversaries who wish to attack this country.”Murphy’s letter to Dodaro came as HuffPost reported that Doge had publicly <a href="https://c.im/tags/posted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#posted</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/classified" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#classified</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/information" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#information</a> about the size and staff of a US intelligence agency – the National Reconnaissance Office – on its new website.The exposure reportedly left some “scrambling to check if their info has been accessed”, according to one Defense Intelligence Agency employee who spoke with HuffPost.Despite the rising resistance to its activities, the US <a href="https://c.im/tags/armed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#armed</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/services" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#services</a> were preparing a list of weapons systems to be cut in preparation for Doge casting its gaze over the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Pentagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Pentagon</a>, the Wall Street Journal reported.Members of Musk’s team were expected to visit the Pentagon on Friday. 💥“People are offering up things sacrificially, hoping that will prevent more cuts,” a defence official told the Journal.The army was said to be volunteering cutting outdated drones and vehicles, while the navy is proposing cuts to frigates and littoral combat ships. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/14/musk-doge-payment-system-investigation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/14/musk-doge-payment-system-investigation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</a>
