I’ve seen firsthand how SNAP food assistance helps families survive, live with dignity, and move forward. While Congressional Republicans and President Trump boast about cutting SNAP, let’s remember it’s not about reducing bureaucracy - that’s about letting people go hungry.

Oregon House Republicans fail to force vote on limiting transgender girls to boys sports teams Republicans tried to force a vote Thursday on a bill that was never seriously considered. An argument over the political antics ensued.
