No matter what Donald Trump says, he cannot change the fact that your right to emergency abortion care is protected under law. I will not stand by while chaos is used as a weapon to strip people of their rights.

Last week, I secured a commitment from Secretary Burgum for a formal briefing on Crater Lake. Crater Lake is facing a staffing crisis created by the Trump administration. I’m using every tool at my disposal to ensure Oregonians receive answers. We must protect our treasured places.

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.

I am horrified by the assassination of State Rep. Hortman and her husband, and the shooting of State Sen. Hoffman and his wife. Political violence is an attack on our democracy itself. It cannot become part of our culture or our politics. We must stand united in rejecting it.

The assault on Senator Padilla is an assault on democracy. Democrats marched to Republican leadership’s offices to challenge Trump’s attack on congressional oversight. It is now or never: Republicans must stand up for the voices of every single member of Congress and the people they represent.

As a former VA provider, I saw how red tape kept too many veterans from the support they earned & deserve. I introduced the Every Veteran Housed Act to break down barriers that shut people out of housing resources because every veteran deserves a roof over their head. No exceptions.

The reconciliation process can be confusing. But what Republicans are doing is painfully simple: taking health care and food assistance away from millions to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Hands off our future.

The governor did not ask for this. The mayor did not ask for this. Trump is manufacturing chaos— straight from the authoritarian playbook. Community. Solidarity. Our power comes from our shared commitment to justice, compassion, and truth. Stay loud.

Trump is deploying militarized federal forces into our communities against the will of local leaders. Let’s call this what it is: a deliberate attempt to incite chaos. We won't stand for it. The antidote to authoritarianism is solidarity, and our strength is in community. Stay loud.

Republicans can’t decide just how cruel they want their Big Ugly Bill to be. It already would enact the largest cut to food assistance and Medicaid in history—and some want to go even further. I’m fighting back. Now is the time to keep the pressure on the Senate. Stay loud.

I held this veterans town hall because our veterans deserve more than thanks—they deserve action. The American Dream shouldn’t belong to the privileged few. It’s time we redefine patriotism to include compassion, support, and kindness for all.

I cared for veterans as a VA provider for more than seven years.

I conducted unannounced oversight of the Northwest Detention Center. What I witnessed was devastating. Trump is detaining our neighbors, coworkers, & loved ones without guaranteed due process & no accountability. That's not American; that's authoritarianism. I will fight back with everything I have.

🧵Republicans decided ripping health care away from nearly 14 million Americans wasn’t enough. They also added a provision to their tax scam to defund Planned Parenthood—cutting health care for even more. And it’s not getting enough attention.
