In my visits to schools across NW Oregon I constantly hear about the need for more mental health resources, which is why I advocated to include this investment when we passed this bipartisan gun violence prevention law.
NEW: The Trump admin is moving to cancel $1 billion in school mental health grants, which were created with bipartisan support to hire psychologists and counselors. These resources were proven to reduce gun violence, but Trump wants them gone. He’s endangering our kids.
This bill passed out of the Education Committee with all Democrats voting against it, but it hasn’t come to the House floor for a vote yet. I urge everyone who cares about making higher education more accessible to speak out against this legislation.
The GOP student loan bill is a dream killer. It will rip away the opportunity to pursue a higher education for students who do not come from wealthy families—all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
I continue to be inspired by Jon and Jennifer Epstein’s dedication to saving lives following the tragic loss of their son. The educational program they helped create is already saving lives by increasing awareness about the dangers of fake pills laced with fentanyl.
Graphic with photo from roundtable with Rep. Bonamici, former HHS Sec. Becerra, and Jon and Jennifer Epstein on fentanyl awareness education. Text reads: "I introduced a bipartisan bill to educate students about the danger of accidental fentanyl poisoning. The Fentanyl Awareness for Children and Teens in Schools (FACTS) Act is modeled on the Beaverton School District’s Fake and Fatal fentanyl awareness curriculum in Oregon, which has successfully prevented student deaths since its launch."
This HHS report isn’t based on science; it’s propaganda meant to justify the Trump administration’s discriminatory anti-trans policies. In fact, the report doesn't even name any authors. It is not a law and it will not change Oregon’s strong protections for gender affirming care and trans rights.
Three months ago, Trump issued an EO attempting to stamp out standard-of-care medical treatments for trans kids. But buried in the EO was a clause directing the top federal health agency to publish a review of “best practices” for treating gender dysphoria in children. That report is finally here.

Thanks @repbonamici.bsky.social for the bi-partisan FACTS Act which will reduce the harms of fentanyl to young people. “Upstream awareness, education, & primary prevention efforts are largely untapped mitigations with huge potential.” bonamici.house.gov/media/press-...
The federal government should honor its obligation to deliver the funding that was already awarded through the highly competitive FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant program. I will continue to advocate for this project and for other North Coast priorities.
There is nothing political about saving lives and property. Columbia Memorial Hospital’s expansion will provide safe shelter for people on the North Coast in the event of an earthquake or tsunami, and it has wide bipartisan support from local leaders.

Several students told me why they support free healthy school meals for all, the STARBASE program, and special education classes. Their stories were compelling and they help inform my work on the Education Committee and my effort to stop the Trump administration’s plan to defund public schools.
I visited Pacific Ridge Elementary in Seaside as part of my education tour. Thanks to the 5th grade student council members who gave me a wonderful tour of their school, including classrooms, a calming space that’s helped reduce referrals by 70%, a STEAM lab, and a social emotional learning area.

I stood on the steps of the United States Supreme Court with several lawyer colleagues and others to reaffirm the oath I took as a member of Congress and a lawyer to uphold the Constitution.
Today is Law Day. In light of the Trump administration’s flagrant and ongoing violations of the law, lawyers across the country are reaffirming their oath to the Constitution and emphasizing the importance of due process and the Rule of Law.
I stand in solidarity with workers in Oregon and across this country in the fight against the Trump administration's attempts to gut worker protections and conduct mass firings of dedicated civil servants.
Trump’s terrible tariff plan is causing hardship and uncertainty for small business owners like Eva and Rebecca. We're going to keep fighting for small businesses and against this terrible plan that is raising costs on consumers and hurting small businesses.
TRIO and other important education programs are at risk if the Trump administration and GOP leadership get their way. I will continue to stand up to the attacks on public education, just as I did during the first Trump administration.
One student told me when she dropped out of high school, it was her high school TRIO advisor that helped guide her toward CCC. Because of sustained support from the TRIO program, that student is now the college’s student government president.
A CCC student speaks at Bonamici's discussion about TRIO.
In Astoria I spoke with college and high school students at Clatsop Community College about how individualized counseling, advising, and other services provided by the federal TRIO program opens doors of opportunity. Many said they would not be able to attend college without TRIO.
