“We’re worried that if this goes forward, it will eat up transportation dollars for other projects,” Morgan said. “We’re asking for choice and backups.”

The legislature did a grave disservice when we failed to secure long term funding for transit service. I'm heartbroken to read the scale of cuts TriMet is now proposing. I hope you'll hold me accountable to prioritizing working with my colleagues to find a solution. #orpol

TriMet Announces Steep Service Cuts to Close Budget Gap
The upshot? Twenty bus routes altered, another 15 eliminated, and a light-rail line that will stop at its halfway point, requiring a transfer to get from Clackamas Town Center to downtown Portland.

I think the ICE agents work hard and deserve a nice little Kavanaugh Snack, as a treat
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.

A Democratic win in TN-7 is a long shot, but not impossible.
This is a district that was created when they gerrymandered the state to take away the Democratic seat in Nashville, and it was one Trump won by 22 points a year ago.
If the GOP squeaks by with say 5-7 points, that's a red alarm.
