Oregonians and Americans aren’t staying silent as the Trump administration is trying to shut down Job Corps. In this special edition of the Mailbag Minute, I’m reviewing comments that highlight how Job Corps changes lives for the better.

Our law has worked well for decades. They should leave us alone and work on fixing the immigration system, starting with hiring more immigration judges, reinstating sensitive location guidance, and ending deportation without due process.
No matter how much misinformation the Trump administration spreads, the law does not mean that we are harboring violent criminals. Now the administration and Republicans who usually believe in states’ rights are trying to punish “sanctuary” cities.
Local police can focus on local issues, and, importantly, it’s better and safer for communities when anyone who is a witness or a victim of a crime can report it without fear.
In 1987 the Oregon Legislature passed a law with broad bipartisan support to prohibit state and local police from enforcing federal immigration laws. This made sense then and it still does now.
I stand with LGBTQI+ community this Pride Month and always, especially as the Trump administration and extremist politicians try to take away rights and threaten civil liberties.

Let us reintroduce ourselves: We are the Democratic Women’s Caucus.
96 women strong.
And we are fighting for you in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities.
I will continue to advocate for NW Oregon’s small businesses and for trade policy that grows rather than hurts the economy.
But the U.S. will never be able to produce enough coffee to meet the demand for everyone in the United States. With the small margin in the business and the tariffs, the country will see businesses laying off staff or closing and higher unemployment.
Trump’s tariffs on coffee beans are a perfect example of how and why his trade wars are illogical and bad for the economy. Because of climate, coffee beans can only grow in certain regions of the world, and the only place they can grow in the United States is in Hawaii.
I support the case challenging the President’s authority and I thank Oregon’s Attorney General for the successful ruling to stop the tariffs, but there is still an appeal and a lot of uncertainty.
Local coffee roasters and leaders in the coffee industry explained how Trump’s disastrous tariffs on coffee beans and other supplies are hurting their businesses.
The rise of antisemitic attacks is deeply concerning. Horrific violence like this has no place in our country. We must recommit to fighting hate in all its forms. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the Boulder community.

The country is stronger because of our diversity. As a senior member of the Education Committee, I will continue to advocate for universities, students, and faculty in Oregon and work to stop these shortsighted research cuts.
The Trump administration and DOGE have cancelled millions in grant funding that was spurring innovative research at Oregon’s universities. This anti-science agenda will set back science and technology and leave U.S. industries less competitive in the global economy.
I’m thrilled that more students will have the opportunity to receive a world-class education from UO in the heart of NE Portland. Go Ducks!
It was exciting to celebrate the grand opening of the University of Oregon’s Portland campus. As a double Duck who attended journalism school and law school in Eugene, UO was critical to my career path.
To trans Oregonians and Americans who are experiencing the same fear as Ada and her family: I will always advocate for your rights and freedoms.
The anti-trans rhetoric and legislation pushed by the Trump administration and GOP politicians has real consequences for real people.
Ada should be able to live her life like any other teenager.
A year ago, a trans teenager won a track championship in Oregon and became a target for conservative commentators and online agitators.
“I think people think I want to be this spotlight for trans people,” she said. “Not at all. I just like running.”

Thank you to Cedar Sinai Park for inviting me to hold a town hall meeting with residents. It was meaningful to hear their concerns and answer their questions about education, Social Security and Medicare cuts, the GOP's Big Bad Budget Bill, and how to advocate for democracy.
