Oregon's Democrats are on the side of functional government agencies that serve everyone. Not oligarchs gutting vital services to justify yet another billionaire tax cut. #VoteBlue, up and down the ballot.

Of course, he lied. To make room for tax cuts for billionaires, Team Trump will gut the programs that gave generations of Americans health care, security, and stability. Read "Trump Official Calls Social Security 'Wrong' as Administration Lays Groundwork for Massive Cuts:" buff.ly/4ibjEEC

Today would have been Congressman John Lewis' 85th birthday. John Lewis spent decades getting into good trouble and pushing us forward, dedicating his life to civil rights and justice, from the Freedom Rides to the halls of Congress. We continue his fight for equality and justice for all.

There is no good reason for the President to control the United States Postal Office. There are many, many ways that Donald Trump could abuse his control over it, including messing with vote-by-mail and interfering with mail of abortion meds. CALL YOUR REPS AND SENATORS AND TELL THEM "HANDS OFF!"

State and local elections matter. Having an AG who puts the lives of people ahead of ideology means Oregonians are protected from the Trump Administration's cruelty and overreach. #VoteBlue this May!

Thank you to the Pacific Ocean Energy Trust for inviting me to speak at the Northwest Offshore Wind Conference. Addressing the climate crisis is challenging but important work, and it must continue regardless of who is in the White House.

Do you have friends and relations with Republican members of congress? Especially ones in rural areas? Let them know about this latest power-grab. They need to call their reps and senators and let them know this is a horrible idea.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.
