The inhumane detention center in the Everglades has opened, and the stories being shared are appalling.
They’re depriving people of access to care and basic rights, while feeding them food with maggots in it.
Last week, I called on ICE and DHS to shut it down and stop treating people like animals.
Last week, I voted no on Republicans’ trash budget, which included devastating cuts to Medicaid.
Today, I joined local healthcare providers to highlight patient stories. We will not allow our voices to go unheard.
While in Central Oregon, I met with local environmental organizations to discuss everything from the sale of our public lands to forest management practices.
Our environment is what makes Oregon home – we’ve got to make sure we keep it healthy.
This is an intentional cut to staffing at the VA by this Administration.
Our veterans are already struggling to get the care they need and this will only make things worse. They deserve better.

Stopped by Spork for a delicious meal after our town hall.
Small businesses like Spork are the engines of our communities, which is why I am so proud that my 3 bipartisan bills to support small businesses passed the House – called for a celebration!
I had the pleasure of welcoming some Portland State University visitors to my office!
We discussed the importance of funding arts education and how they’re preparing students to enter the workforce.
Thanks for stopping by!
My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of the young campers, the Camp Mystic staff, and all others that have been lost to the flash floods in Texas.
I will be keeping all of them, as well as the brave first responders working to bring people home, in my prayers.
Calling all residents of CD5 – let’s talk! It’s time for round 2 of my telephone town halls.
If you’d like to attend on July 16 at 6:00PM, please RSVP using the link below!

Having trouble with the VA? Missing your Social Security benefits? Have a trip coming up but your passport is expired? We’re here to help.
If you need help with a federal agency, give my office a call at (503)387–8651 📲
Using taxpayer dollars to build a detention center in one of the most dangerous environments in the U.S.? No thanks.
“Alligator Alcatraz” is ALREADY flooding – it must go.
That’s why I’m demanding ICE and DHS stop construction.

Happy Independence Day, CD5!
To me, protecting independence means protecting access to care, to education, to choice.
We are a nation that prides ourselves on freedom and liberty – we must do everything we can to uphold these values.
My statement on the passage of the trash budget ⬇️
House Republicans just betrayed the American people, all to pay for tax cuts for rich.
How anyone can claim to be doing what’s best for their constituents while voting for this budget is beyond me.
I voted no.
It’s official. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just broke the record for longest House Floor speech.
And he did it with the help of all of you who shared your stories. Thank you for being in this fight with us.
We’re not backing down.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking on behalf of the American people for over 8 hours, and he's not slowing down.
We've got to keep the pressure on – if you or someone you know will be impacted by the Republican budget, please share your story ⬇️

In Central Oregon, ONE in THREE people use Medicaid to receive care.
The trash budget makes healthcare more expensive and less accessible, but Republicans don't care. They're focused on the top 1%.
"What's happening in this country, an all-out assault on law-abiding immigrant families, is unconscionable, unacceptable, and un-American," – @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
👏👏👏
The Republicans are picking winners and losers with this budget, rewarding billionaires while leaving those in need behind.
Republicans won’t share the stories of their constituents who will be harmed by their “Big, Beautiful Bill,” so Leader Jeffries is doing it for them.
I’ve been on the Floor watching and listening since he started at 4:53AM. He’s still going.
