"If you're reading this, you probably know the value of the Mercury' s newsreporting, arts and culture coverage, event calendar, and the bevy of events we host throughout the year.

"Good morning, Portland. How are you doing? Personally, I'm extremely overwhelmed. I think I've said this before, but this week is truly in the running to be the absolute MOST of the year so far. If I were a normal person, I would try not to pay attention to all of it. It's okay to wear horse blinders sometimes. On the other hand, if you guys were taking care of yourselves, nobody would be reading this and I wouldn't have a job."
Portland may face a deployment of National Guard troops pending a judge’s ruling on a temporary restraining order, with a Friday hearing scheduled. Federal authorities could potentially proceed regardless of the court’s decision, creating uncertainty. Local news and arts coverage seek small monthly contributions to sustain reporting, event calendars, and hosted events. Personal overwhelm is expressed during an intense week, with advice to sometimes limit attention and a sardonic encouragement for readers to remain engaged. The judicial hearing is linked to Judge Michael Simon, who is noted as Neil Simon’s nephew and the spouse of Representative Suzanne Bonamici.
