Taking a break from a slew of state lege work to scream into the void “holy hell are we about to hand the executive branch the keys to Congress?” Seriously this is a disgrace. Our OR Senators are good but Schumer is quite literally leading a betrayal. For real, it is ALL on the line right now.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Delighted to be a Chief Sponsor of this bill. We need the data transparency to understand the demand they are placing on the grid, and ensure they have a vested responsibility in their own growth. See also: water.

Someone told me today the reason bison face into a storm is because the only way to navigate though it is head first. But my god grief is blinding, and it’s hard some days to stand in the swirl of it. In addition to all the other wonderful things… she was just so damn beautiful and radiant. Always.

Ahem. Face-eating leopards something something. Some days I feel like Cassandra. TL; DR: she flipped immediately on the PRO act and voiced support for right-to-work states.

I’ve been silent & out of Salem for a week because our family is going through the unimaginable. We lost our daughter/ my oldest stepdaughter Addison. I’m deeply appreciative of the kindness & grace from every corner of this state & beyond, & the almost overwhelming outpouring of support. Addison:

Okay so I might not be a “Top Democratic lawmaker” but tell you what- hell no. Trans students & athletes: you are loved. You are respected. You belong on the track, field,and all the spaces to joyfully and safely compete. Let me repeat that: YOU BELONG and we will fight any efforts to change that.

“Do something”: Oregon State Legislators refuse to stand by and watch power-drunk billionaires take over the rights of working families. Up this Thursday in your State Capitol: Senate Bill 916, Unemployment Insurance for Striking Workers. olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/M...

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

From the rooftops please: this will not be useful for firefighting. Much of it will evaporate and come summer farmers that needed this for irrigation will be in serious drought.

Hi all— your friendly local OR State Rep with a brief Friday update.TL; DR is the fed thrash feels like hell because the chaos and fear and destabilization are the point. And I’m not going to tell anyone how to feel, but I will tell you this: we are fighting it. You are not alone. We’ve got this.
