With full funding, Oregon's Solar for All program could help over 8,000 low-income households install solar panels to lower their monthly energy bills. The Trump administration just terminated it. I'm demanding the EPA immediately reverse this decision & return the funds to @odoenergy.bsky.social.

We’re one step closer to over $14 million coming home to CD5 for projects across the district.

While researchers have found microplastics to be tied to cancer and infertility, the full scope of their impact is still unknown. That’s why this week, 170 countries are gathering to discuss regulating the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics. 🧵(1/2) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/o...

Republicans cut nearly $200 billion for SNAP, a program that helps put food on the table for children, seniors, and veterans – all to give tax breaks to billionaires. I won’t stop fighting to protect this essential program.
