Several hundred protesters gathered outside the Lane County Circuit Court in Eugene Thursday afternoon for a “May Day” protest. The call was to champion working class people.

Oregon U.S. Rep. Val Hoyle says she’s been hearing from people in Oregon who’ve been fired as part of President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

The DOGE-driven purge of federal workers is leaving Oregon’s National Forests with fewer caretakers.

Presidents Day is usually low-key, an observance more about mattress sales and car dealerships. But across the U.S., including in Eugene, protests against President Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk were held.
