Now she’s made an abrupt shift from a champion to the destroyer of this important program, and I questioned her about why she is trying to shut it down.

Job Corps is an important education and workforce program for students who do not succeed in a traditional school environment. A year and a half ago, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer proudly posted on social media that she had been named a “Job Corps champion.”
At a recent forum on behavioral health with Rep. Salinas, I highlighted how the Trump administration and GOP politicians are adding to—not addressing—the mental health challenges of Oregonians.
What we should focus on is finding the best way to educate all students regardless of income or background — something we cannot do without the investments this administration is cutting.
Many of my colleagues and the Secretary of Education like to use the Nation’s Report Card scores to talk about how education is doing. #EduSky
The Secretary of Education’s job is to execute laws passed by Congress. If she can't do that, she shouldn't hold the position.
Either she wasn’t being truthful, or she doesn’t know what’s happening in the agency she supposedly leads.
Sec. McMahon testified in the US Senate that she would follow the law and not cut funding that was approved by Congress. But DOGE froze or cut more than $1 billion in funding at the Dept. of Education on her watch.
We must stop the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants and instead work on humane immigration reform.
Until this administration, Department of Homeland Security guidance said that ICE raids could not take place at sensitive locations like courthouses and schools. I have introduced legislation to put that guidance into law.
When ICE lingers around courthouses, they deter people from asserting their right to prove a claim of asylum – a right protected under international law.
The Trump administration and GOP politicians are making broad accusations and allegations of antisemitism that diminish our ability to productively address real threats of antisemitism like those we have tragically seen across the country.
Conflating all protests or criticisms of Israeli policy with antisemitism ignores that each case is very fact specific.
Congratulations to all the NW Oregon students graduating from high school and college this year! No matter what path you take after graduation, continue learning, appreciate your friends and family, and help to make the world a better place.
Oregonians and Americans aren’t staying silent as the Trump administration is trying to shut down Job Corps. In this special edition of the Mailbag Minute, I’m reviewing comments that highlight how Job Corps changes lives for the better.
Our law has worked well for decades. They should leave us alone and work on fixing the immigration system, starting with hiring more immigration judges, reinstating sensitive location guidance, and ending deportation without due process.
No matter how much misinformation the Trump administration spreads, the law does not mean that we are harboring violent criminals. Now the administration and Republicans who usually believe in states’ rights are trying to punish “sanctuary” cities.
Local police can focus on local issues, and, importantly, it’s better and safer for communities when anyone who is a witness or a victim of a crime can report it without fear.
In 1987 the Oregon Legislature passed a law with broad bipartisan support to prohibit state and local police from enforcing federal immigration laws. This made sense then and it still does now.
I stand with LGBTQI+ community this Pride Month and always, especially as the Trump administration and extremist politicians try to take away rights and threaten civil liberties.
