"In 2025, Oregon reduced at least 380 sentences for prisoners across the state, after the Oregon Supreme Court ruled that judges can include time they served while awaiting sentences toward their full sentence. It gave a lot of people hope that they would get out early, but the Oregon Department of Corrections provided new guidance as Governor Tina Kotek paused the program last November, and the state ended up returning 17 people to prison."
"Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield won a lawsuit yesterday against the Trump administration over its illegal tariffs. The Court of International Trade ruled in favor of 24 states, including Oregon, that sued the administration over 10 percent international tariffs Trump imposed after his buds at the Supreme Court shot down his previous attempt under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act."
""For the second time this year, Oregon has won a massive victory for Americans consumers and our Constitution," Rayfield said. "So long as President Trump continues to try to illegally tax Oregonians, we'll continue to go to court to stop him." It's a big win for people of all stripes who hate paying more for goods thanks to a state created crisis."
