Today's SCOTUS decision threatens the checks and balances at the core of our democracy. If you are born in America you are an American. Full stop. I'm in the fight with all of you to protect birthright citizenship. We aren't backing down anytime soon.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court limited judges' power on nationwide injunctions, leaving the fate of Trump's birthright citizenship order unclear.
Republicans are continuing to push for their trash budget, which rips Medicaid away from our hospitals and our communities. This week, I met with nurses from CD5 who shared a bit about the devastating impacts this will have on our districts, and patients who come to them for care.
Today's vote on H.R. 875 was just another unproductive and vengeful attempt to vilify immigrants. Come up with a real policy and stop wasting my time. I voted no.
Today marks 10 years since marriage equality became law in the United States, and love won 🏳️‍🌈 Everyone deserves the freedom to love who they love without fear. Our work in the fight for equality is far from finished – we won't let up.
As a mom of four, investing in America’s youth is top priority. That's why I'm introducing the Connecting Students to Mental Health Services Act, to ensure our kids in rural and high-poverty areas have access to the support they need to thrive now and for generations to come.
The Supreme Court just gave states the green light to kick Planned Parenthood off their Medicaid programs. We're talking about life-saving care here – cancer screenings, prenatal support, you name it. This leaves millions in danger, and will have devastating consequences.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows states to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.
It’s important to me to hear directly from you – your stories fuel our fight against the Trump administration. If you or someone you know has been impacted by Republican policies, please share your stories with me below. 🔗: forms.gle/bzaiimERDJmc...
Today, I stood proudly with my colleague @replamonica.bsky.social, who was arrested for conducting oversight – her job as a Member of Congress. We will not let the President continue to punish those who dare to disagree.
As wildfire season approaches, we need to be making sure that Oregonians have what they need to prepare, respond, and recover. Instead, the President is cutting funding and laying off firefighters. Our communities can't afford this reckless behavior. It's time to get smart.
THREE of my bipartisan bills to help small businesses passed the House this week! Small businesses are the backbone of our communities – these bills will help them start off strong.
Everywhere I go in my district, my constituents tell me to fight back against sweeping cuts to Social Security. Today, I met with @aarporegon.bsky.social reps to discuss how we can best help our seniors retire with dignity and the importance of protecting this essential program.
We’re halfway through the Give ‘Em Hell Tour, but we’re not slowing down! Redmond, you’re up! I’ll be at Ridgeview High School this Saturday at 11:00AM. I hope you’ll join me!
Too often, our small businesses get the short end of the stick. That’s why I introduced three bipartisan bills to help small businesses cut through red tape and get a strong start. Last night, they passed the House.
It’s been three years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and stripped millions of women of their right to choose. We will never let up in the fight for reproductive freedom.
Too many young Americans believe that owning a home is not in the cards for them. Instead of cutting funding to key programs that are working to address the affordable housing crisis, Trump and Republicans need to come to the table to work towards a solution.
Fun fact: Nike’s global headquarters are in Oregon! 👟 I got a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility today, and the opportunity to talk to staff about the role Nike plays in our state economy, what products they think are the next big thing, and their favorite parts of the job.
