cataclysmic cuts in transit service across trimet and the entire state of oregon are underway thanks to the failure of the 2025 legislature, and the republican repeal of the band aid transportation funding bill.
2025 was brutal for US transit. Agencies faced budget deficits, flat ridership, and open hostility from the White House.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Cutting property taxes for Oregonians affected by wildfires. Canceling planned freeway tolls. Pausing local new taxes in the Portland area. We have to keep going to make life more affordable for Oregonians.
