Our kids are dreaming big and they're counting on us to do the same! We can build a future with affordable healthcare, accessible housing, good-paying jobs, and livable communities. I'm working in Congress to make this future real for the students at Meadows Elementary School.

Remember when Trump said he’d go after the “worst of the worst?” ICE just targeted a U.S. citizen high school student. That is not public safety—it’s cruelty.
ICE detains 4 U.S. citizens in Oregon this week, advocacy group says
They included a 17-year-old high school student and two women filming ICE activity in Canby.

Releasing the Epstein files is about making sure our justice system serves the public, not the powerful and well-connected.

Trump is taking food away from our most vulnerable—kids, seniors, folks with disabilities. It’s just wrong—proof he’s not fighting to make YOUR life better.

I’m fighting to make sure every family has the resources they need to put food on the table.
SNAP is back, but millions of Americans could lose benefits due to new restrictions
Just as SNAP benefits were reinstated for millions of Americans following the reopening of the federal government, many are now set to permanently lose them.

Unionized Starbucks workers have been trying to negotiate a contract with Starbucks since 2023—it should not take that long. Every union worker deserves an ethical and fair contract.

I had the immense privilege of joining President Barack Obama in a conversation with the Democratic freshman class of House lawmakers this week.

After my office’s first Youth Advisory Council meeting, the message was crystal clear: our youth are done waiting for change. I’m proud to set the table for their ongoing input and counsel to bring true change to our community.

Will the FBI investigate President Trump's call for the deaths of sitting Democratic lawmakers?

Today I went to the House floor to speak out against antisemitism and genocide.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

At a time when antisemitism is rising at home and abroad, this is absolutely horrific and puts the Jewish community at risk.
 
Trump must immediately reverse this dangerous decision. It is sick.

RFK Jr. is once again dehumanizing people with autism. It is sick, and we must call it out unequivocally for what it is: deadly misinformation.

As the federal government is twisted into a conduit for lies, I urge you to turn to your own trusted provider—not politicians—for health recommendations.

Trump is threatening death to lawmakers he doesn't agree with. Read that again. 

Americans deserve better than someone who spews hate and perpetuates political violence in the White House.

Our trans community deserves unconditional love and support.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we lift up those who were taken from us too soon—no one should be attacked or targeted for being their truest, most authentic self. Every person deserves equal rights and protections.

As the first pulmonologist in Congress, take it from me: early detection saves lives. This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, I'm encouraging those with risk factors to talk with their trusted physician about getting screened. I'll keep fighting for the affordable, accessible care you deserve.

Jena-Lisa Jones was only 14 when she was taken. She deserves justice.

The American people deserve the truth.

I voted to release the Epstein files. The Senate must do the same.
November 18, 2025 at 10:19 PM
I just voted to release the Epstein files because survivors deserve justice and the public deserves answers.

Anyone who stands in the way is complicit in shielding pedophiles.

Of course a billionaire can afford to be disconnected from reality—Oregon families know their costs are soaring because of Trump’s failed leadership and his allegiance to his cronies. Give me a break. Americans know and deserve better.

They were young girls when Jeffrey Epstein abused them. And they deserve justice.

Women and girls deserve so much better. Release the files.

Trump says he supports the House vote to release the Epstein files. That’s odd because he has the authority to just release them all RIGHT NOW. Why isn’t he?
