It’s just wrong to have Great Gatsby parties for the rich and bare Thanksgiving tables for vulnerable families.

I’m fighting to make sure families have the resources they need to put food on the table.

JUST IN: Even Trump’s favorite outlet has polling showing that Trumpflation is EXPLODING costs for Americans and making a mess of the economy.

Net worth, political party, and level of influence don’t matter. Everyone involved in the abuse of young women must be held accountable.

When the Trump Admin. threatened SNAP benefits, @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social stepped up to support communities across the state.

I heard from folks at the food bank in Portland about the work they do each day to connect folks with the resources they need to feed themselves and their families.

Everyone in Oregon should have a safe place to call home.

We celebrated the opening of a shelter in Hillsboro that @repbonamici.bsky.social, @wyden.senate.gov, and I secured funding for, which will connect folks with the resources they need to put them on a path toward a home of their own.

Republicans are EXPLODING the cost of health care for families in Oregon and around the country.

Trump’s authoritarianism is here NOW, and I will keep ringing the alarm bells and fighting back! We cannot allow it to become entrenched.

I’m ringing the alarm bells on Trump’s crypto corruption!!

We need to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act to stop any elected official from setting up crypto scams.

The Republican war on child nutrition continues.

They cut $186 BILLION from SNAP in the Big, Beautiful, Betrayal.

Now, Trump is withholding SNAP funding, even though USDA’s OWN GUIDANCE (which they’ve now deleted) said they have funding!

We just can’t let that happen.

Trump's chaotic tariffs and the Republicans' Big, Ugly BETRAYAL are stretching small businesses to the max.

With the Republican Big, Beautiful BETRAYAL of a bill, Main Street is now Pain Street for small businesses.

Trump's attacks on the free press aren't an isolated incident.

They're a constant barrage designed to push us further into an authoritarian strongman state.

The President is not a king.
The law is not a suggestion.
The Constitution is not optional.

This is really what it comes down to.

I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government.

Republicans are exploding the cost of YOUR health insurance.
October 21, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Here’s the Republican vision: Families lose, billionaires win.

Democrats are standing firm for a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

Trump’s attempts to crush the Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly in Democratic cities are straight out of the authoritarian handbook.

I will fight to protect the fundamental rights of every Oregonian and every American.

15 million people kicked off their health care.

Health insurance costs for families will massively increase.

Republicans shut down the government to make YOUR health care more expensive.
October 3, 2025 at 5:53 PM
Republicans know that undocumented people can’t enroll in Medicaid coverage. That's the law.

They’re LYING to you to distract you as they kick 15 million people off their health care and raise the cost of YOUR health insurance.

Republicans are making us sicker and poorer.

What a surprise: Russ Vought is breaking the law, and for what? To bend the knee to Trump and his billionaire buddies.

Ripping funding away from only blue states will raise utility bills for EVERYONE. It’s not rocket science.

Vought is unfit to serve in this or any administration.

Republicans refused to fix the health care crisis THEY CREATED.

Now, they have shut down the government and ground the economy to a halt.

Trump and Republicans own this shutdown.
