Each year, the Ladds 500 sees hundreds of riders circling the famed center of Ladd's Addition in Southeast Portland. The goal is to reach 500 laps, but organizers say that's not what attracts so many riders and spectators.

Oregon alone saw dozens of protests, from small towns to large cities. All voiced frustration with President Donald Trump's administration, particularly his recent tariffs on foreign countries and his advisor, billionaire Elon Musk.

Outside of Portland, protests drew hundreds of people in Tigard, Madras, Pendleton, Medford and elsewhere across Oregon on Saturday, as part of the national “Hands Off” day of action.

The investigation comes days after OPB published an investigation into decades-old claims of sexual abuse against Evans, all from his time as a teacher at St. Helens High School in the 1980s.

Local DJ Prashant Kakad said he wanted to bring the colorful celebrations of Holi into Portland's city center. "It brings us together," he told OPB.

Staff at the Wildlife Center of the North Coast in Astoria say receiving three bald eagles in a matter of days is "unusual."

A teacher who allegedly had a sexual relationship with a student in the 1980s later represented state agencies responsible for protecting Oregon’s children and holding accountable those who abuse them.

Oregon legislators are now considering House Bill 2964, which would provide loans and grants for nonprofits looking to build affordable housing on their land by covering those initial costs.

Students and families had called for Stockwell to resign for weeks, for what they say was a failure to respond to allegations of sexual abuse committed by teachers.

Police first identified Jon Foreman as a suspect in June 2024. He turned himself into police custody on Friday.
