There was no need to spend more time listening to Trump’s lies and attacks on trans Americans and immigrants.

My goal was to keep the focus on Donald Trump and Elon Musk and how their policies are hurting Americans. That being said, I did walk out with several of my colleagues after Rep. Green was removed from the chamber for rightly stating that Trump has no mandate to cut Medicaid.
The chaos is the point. Trump and Musk are trying to overwhelm us and hope we give up; that’s not happening. The more they try to push through their harmful and unpopular agenda, the more we’re going to fight back.
I’ve been in close contact with Oregon Attorney General Rayfield and know he will continue working with his fellow state AGs to stand up against Trump and Musk.
Judges have ruled to block multiple executive orders, and the Trump administration has been forced to walk back some of their illegal actions—like firing probationary federal workers.
In the courts, more than 85 lawsuits have been filed to fight back against Trump and Musk’s illegal and unconstitutional actions, and there are more filed each day.
Public pressure is working. The head of the GOP’s campaign arm recently called for congressional Republicans to stop holding in-person town hall meetings because their constituents are confronting them about how Trump and Musk are hurting their communities.
I’ll continue to use every opportunity to speak out, and I am grateful that many Oregonians and Americans are doing the same.
I’ve been in rallies at the Departments of Labor and Education, CFPB, and NOAA, standing with Americans protesting this administration’s illegal actions. I’ve spoken with the press to highlight the disastrous consequences of Trump and Musk’s cuts to NIH, NOAA, and other essential federal programs.
Congressional Democrats also have the power of their platform.
The House doesn’t have the same procedural rules as the Senate, but it’s likely that the House GOP will have difficulties passing partisan bills that support their priorities because their margin is very small.
And House Democrats can use that leverage to extract concessions in must-pass bills.
For example, Senators used the filibuster to slow legislation. They can also object to unanimous consent, forcing the Senate GOP to use more time to move any bills or nominations.
Congressional Democrats are in the minority, but there are multiple ways to push back against Trump and Musk’s harmful agenda.
I want to hear from you after Trump’s joint address. AMA:
I’ve received thousands of calls and messages from Oregonians who are concerned about the direction of the country under this administration. I will do everything in my power to stand up for the Oregonians I represent, for truth, and for democracy.
One of his first executive orders attempted to throw out birthright citizenship—a right enshrined in the Constitution.
Trump is banning AP and Reuters reporters from White House press conferences while inviting Russian state media to the Oval Office. He’s threatening to deport students for exercising their First Amendment rights.
The state of the union is chaotic - not strong - because Trump and Musk continue to purge essential federal workers, recklessly start trade wars, and openly ignore the rule of law with illegal and unconstitutional actions.
I just walked out of the joint congressional address because Trump is lying to the American people.
No matter what Trump claimed in his address tonight, Americans can see the truth.
Trump and Musk aren’t tackling government waste; they’re stripping away essential services to pay for tax cuts that benefit the big businesses paying millions for private meetings with the president.
