Because I keep hearing Republicans talk about how my city is a hell hole, I decided to go down to the ICE facility and see what things look like for myself. As you can see from the video, it’s not the war zone that Trump describes!

I was recently part of a legislative panel at the State of Reform Health Policy Conference in Portland, along with Rep. Diehl & Sen. Patterson.
We discussed healthcare challenges in Oregon related to the impact of Trump’s (not so) Big Beautiful Bill.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Proud to join my colleagues and Gov. Kotek for the ceremonial signing of SB 426 at the Carpenters Union Hall. I signed on as a sponsor of this bill because wage theft needs to end!
There is power in collective bargaining!

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a final court order blocking National Guard deployment!
Today's ruling is a huge victory for Oregon. The courts are holding this administration accountable to the truth and the rule of law.

Great news! Oregon families can now get SNAP benefits at least for the month of November. We still urgently need Congressional Republicans to negotiate to end the shutdown, lower skyrocketing healthcare premiums, and make sure families can get the food and housing assistance they need!
Big thanks to @GovTinaKotek and @ORHumanServices who worked hard to be ready to access the November funds for Oregonians as soon as they became available after the federal court ruling. I urge Congressional Rs to negotiate with Dems to lower healthcare premiums & food costs.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi at a couple of different political events over the years. The opportunities I’ve had to bend her ear are political highlights for me.
I hope she enjoys the last year of her term as she enters a well deserved retirement.

Even though the Trump administration says they will partially fund SNAP this month, we still don’t know when Oregonians will get their benefits. But we do know that our community is stepping up in a big way to keep our neighbors from going hungry. 🧵
