It was incredible to be able to connect with so many of you during my first telephone town hall last night. A great fourth stop of the Give ‘Em Hell Tour. We talked about Trump’s trash bill and its harmful cuts, and protecting the programs so many Oregonians rely on. Thanks for tuning in!

Freedom of speech is under attack across the country. This morning, I stood shoulder to shoulder with my colleagues as Congressional Black Caucus Chair @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social offered remarks in defense of the right to dissent. Our rights are on the line. We will not back down.

As a mom of a D1 football player, I know how long overdue it was to allow our student athletes to earn their fair share. That's why I'm introducing the College SPORTS Act, to strengthen name, image, and likeness protections for athletes and expand their academic opportunities.

Everywhere I go in CD5, I hear the same thing: people want the government to work for them. That means getting Social Security payments on time, knowing they can access healthcare, and being able to pay the bills. These aren’t red or blue issues. They’re common sense.

In 2024, there were 502 mass shootings. 5,151 kids lost to gun violence. 16,576 people killed. During #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth we remember that everyone who we have lost to senseless gun violence is somebody’s someone. We have to put a stop to gun violence.

Our local City Councilors Steph Newton-Azorr and Carolyn McLeod have a simple message for the federal government: have our community’s backs, and keep them safe.

Trump's new travel ban is a fear mongering tactic that abandons our core values, tears families apart, and does nothing to improve safety. This is just an attempt to distract from his work to strip millions of their healthcare and benefits. Enough. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
What to know about Trump’s order to restrict travel from 19 countries
The Trump administration announced full bans on 12 countries and partial bans on seven others. They are set to go into effect Monday.

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! 🌎 We are so lucky to call Oregon's coastline, scenic forests, and National Parks home. Let today serve as a reminder of the role we all have to play in preserving these national treasures for generations to come.

While I was in Albany, I had the chance to meet with some local leaders, including Mayor Alex Johnson and City Councilor Randy Klemm. Our communities rely on federal funding for infrastructure projects that has been frozen – it must be restored.

Sharing some headlines that caught my attention... President Trump's budget bill cuts programs millions of Americans rely on, AND raises our national debt by trillions of dollars. Straight trash.

I had a chance to thank some of the pilots who make sure we get where we need to go safely today 🧑‍✈️✈️👩‍✈️ We also discussed some of the challenges they’re facing, including air traffic control staff shortages and the need to increase mental health support for pilots.
