This administration lacks a significant amount of critical thinking.
Throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks is not gonna fly when it’s Americans' well-being on the line.

I’ve BEEN saying Republicans are trying to take away your healthcare.
Now, we have the facts.
But we know Republicans hate those, so...
Spoke with a fantastic group of business leaders from the Portland Metro Chamber last night!
It was a great discussion about how we can work together to boost community development and economic growth in our region and improve quality of life for all Oregonians.
I wrote a letter to Speaker Johnson telling him to focus on costs, but I also told him to his face.
He said he would, but we’ll see…
In CD5, Habitat for Humanity and AmeriCorps have partnered to construct affordable housing units in Bend.
I went to the site to meet with staff and hear about the great work they're doing, and how that work to address the housing crisis is being impacted by federal funding cuts.
Instead of lowering costs, investing in infrastructure, or improving access to healthcare, Speaker Johnson is working overtime to line the pockets of billionaires, and Oregonians are paying the price.
I’ve had enough.
Oregon, I hear you – and I’m with you in the fight against the Trump administration.
Thank you, AG Dan Rayfield, for hosting this important town hall.
Showing up and engaging in these conversations is how we push back and fight for the country we all deserve.
We packed a lot in this weekend in Bend – a town hall, site visits, and lunch at a small business!
Now, back to DC to hold Speaker Johnson accountable for failing to put legislation on the floor to lower costs and make life better for Oregonians.
Got questions about how we’re challenging Trump in the courts? Come by my legal town hall with AG Dan Rayfield tomorrow morning! I look forward to seeing you there.

Republicans have held the majority for over 100 days.
Not a single one has been spent on voting to lower the cost of goods.
That’s why New Dem @bynum.house.gov led 32 Democratic Freshmen in demanding Speaker Mike Johnson finally prioritize lowering costs.

When I came to Congress, one of my top priorities was tacking the affordability crisis. The GOP majority controls which bills come to the floor and so far, Speaker Johnson has not brought a single bill to the floor to lower the cost of living.
It has been 119 days of the 119th Congress, and I’ve yet to have the chance to vote on a bill that lowers costs for Oregonians.
So I wrote to him, with the support of 31 other new members – we're fed up.
I’m so excited to announce Ren Suo, a high schooler from Estacada, as the winner of the Congressional Art Competition from #OR05.
Her piece, “Waiting,” blew our office away, and I can’t wait to see it hanging in the halls of the Capitol.
Check it out!
Trump and House Republicans are stealing money out of the pockets of the American people.
I won't stand for it.
Today is #InternationalWorkersDay, and I'm shouting out our unions! Thank you for all your work to fight for higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions.
As a member of the @laborcaucus.house.gov, I've got your back.
Oregonians who pay into programs their entire life should not have to spend their days worrying about whether their benefits are going to be there tomorrow.
I’m a mom of a 14 year old boy, so I know quite a bit about video games.
The video game world is a whole digital marketplace – so let’s treat it like one.
My amendment would put basic safeguards in place to protect our kids’ (and parents’) wallets.
🧵6/6
I’ll always fight against reckless cuts that threaten our retirement and savings accounts.
🧵5/6
My constituents are demanding answers for why the prices are so damn high!
So let’s find some for them – they deserve transparency.
🧵4/6
