  • According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, more than 400 incidents of hateful intimidation and harassment were reported in the first week after the election. Nearly a quarter of those incidents took place in K-12 schools. We'll hear what this issue looks like in Oregon.
  • The newest MAX line from Milwaukie to Portland has thousands fewer riders than expected. Neil McFarlane, the general manager of TriMet, joins us to talk about what that means for the Orange line and for future TriMet operations.
