President Trump has developed a new MAHA strategy. Instead of Make America Healthy Again, his new strategy is ``Make America Hungry Agenda.'' He is weaponizing food against America's most vulnerable families. In my State of Oregon, that means cutting off food to 757,000 people, including 210,000 children and 130,000 seniors. Now, when you think about these numbers, they are hard to envision, but Oregon is roughly 300 miles from the northern border to the southern border. I-5 runs the entire length of the State. So if all of those individuals were lined up on the highway, they would be just 2 feet apart for 300 miles, and every third person, approximately, would be a child. That is the level of impact we are talking about. You know, when children go without food, the impact is pretty significant. There is the impact on their physical development. There is the impact on their mental development. And, of course, if you are hungry, you can't learn a damn thing in school--so three ways of really hurting America's children, millions of American children. Congress together, Democrats and Republicans, said this should never happen.
