If you weren’t in front of a computer or on the internet, it was truly spectacular in Portland last weekend.

It was clear and sunny, but not too warm. People were out and about. Running errands, doing yard work or just hanging out with friends and family.

But meanwhile in the background, President Donald Trump was taking aim at the city.

We are still piecing together what it all means, what might happen next and when National Guard troops may arrive in the Rose City.

We’ll discuss what we know and what we are learning and maybe take some questions along the way. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.
