Folks in Oregon and across the country know they’re being gouged at the gas pump and the grocery store.
We feel the pain of rising costs, spurred by Trump’s illegal war, and we deserve transparency on the true cost of this war.

A JFK Birthday present!! On his birthday, the court ruled that Trump must remove his name from the Kennedy Center! To paraphrase, Congress named the facility in law, and only Congress can change the name. Amen!
I’ve been pushing to ban Members of Congress and their families from buying and trading stocks because it stinks of corruption. As we call out the Trump family’s corruption, we need to work on fixing corruption in Congress, too.
Good news: a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s nearly $2 billion dollar slush fund!
This isn’t the end of the road—I’ll keep working to make sure that Trump can’t raid the Treasury to line the pockets of his cronies.
Dystopian: the Trump Administration wants to use smart glasses to invade your privacy, scan your face and biometrics without your knowledge, and threaten your civil rights.
HELL NO! I’m fighting back—we need to protect our fundamental right to privacy.
HELL NO. This is illegal, dictator behavior. The Trump Administration is focused on delivering for one person: Donald Trump. They don’t care that folks are struggling to pay for gas and groceries—they’re focused on plastering Trump’s face on money.
Corruption on full display. The Trump family is setting a record in self-dealing.
ICYMI: Trump wants to use nearly $2 BILLION of your tax dollars for a slush fund to enrich his political allies. It’s a cash for cronies scheme. HELL NO.
Pure authoritarianism: Trump is going after critics and trampling free speech, just because he doesn’t like what they’re saying.
Bad for democracy, bad for all of us. I’ll keep fighting to protect free speech.
Trump wants to use YOUR tax dollars for payouts to his billionaire buddies and political allies.
HELL NO, he can’t raid the Treasury for his cash for cronies scheme.
Our public lands are not for sale.
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al-Adha in Oregon and around the world! Wishing you and your loved ones joy, prosperity, and health.
We’re facing a health care shortage, and the Trump Administration is making it more difficult for nurses to get graduate degrees.
I’m introducing a straightforward, bipartisan bill to fix this and make sure nursing students have the support they need to achieve their dreams.
This is exactly right!
⚠️ Trump is trying to use $1,800,000,000 of YOUR TAX DOLLARS for his “cash for cronies” slush fund.
He’s treating the Treasury as his personal piggy bank while ripping health care and nutrition benefits away from American families.
On Memorial Day, we remember and honor all those servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and hold in our hearts their families and loved ones.
Community health workers like Sandy Guzman and clinics like One Community Health are a lifeline for rural communities—connecting folks with the care they need, case by case, and neighbor by neighbor. Such an important resource in the Gorge!
HUGE: The Trump Administration’s vindictive charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia have been dismissed. A win for justice, thanks to the tireless effort of everyone who advocated and raised their voices in pursuit of due process.
Is a column an arch? Hell no. This is another bogus argument from a Trump Team that has no fidelity to the law. If Trump wants a mega-arch to bolster his insecure ego, he needs a law to authorize it.
