Of all the reasons to be running late to a meeting, I hope giving a floor speech is more acceptable than others.
Thanks for tuning in while you waited, President Naganathan, and for your work to set Oregon Tech students up for success on campus!

An educated populace can challenge the government.
Last week, Trump ordered to shut down the Dept. of Education.
That’s not a coincidence.
The Department of Emergency Management plays a key role in keeping Oregonians feeling safe and secure at home.
Thank you for keeping your cool in the chaos and helping the rest of us do the same!
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
The unqualified, self-serving, and lying rejects Trump picked to run this country are showing us they can't do anything right.
Someone F’d up. And someone’s gotta go down for it.
Trump is like that middle school parent who found out the hard way that there are those of us who have been all up in our kids’ group chats since day one.
Sir – go ahead and make them share your iCloud acct or get Life360. And set the alerts. This doesn’t have to be hard.
A woman makes 84 cents for every dollar a man makes. For a Black woman, it's 66 cents. That's BS.
It's LONG past time we get equal pay for equal work.
That's why this Equal Pay Day I'm supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act. No more keeping us down.
I have yet to have the chance to vote on a single piece of legislation to lower costs.
So I introduced my own – The Protecting Families From Inflation Act.
This administration needs to stop the gaslighting. Let’s get to work.
Calling all high schoolers in #OR05!
My office is participating in the Congressional Art Competition, and we want to see YOUR work! 🎨
Winners get their art hung in the Capitol (and bragging rights) 😎
Due date is April 21st – visit bynum.house.gov/services/art-c… for details.
Trump promised to end inflation "on Day 1,” but I see prices going up, not down 🤔
When I say something is my priority, I actually mean it.
Today, I introduced the Protecting Families From Inflation Act with @liccardo.house.gov and Rep. Cleo Fields to fight Trump's taxes and lower costs.
My constituents deserve to live free from the fear of losing their Social Security.
In Congress, I'm fighting to make that a reality.
The #AffordableCareAct passed 15 years ago. Today, 29,000 people in #OR05 have healthcare because of it.
Healthcare is a human right – no one should be a medical emergency away from bankruptcy.
I won't stop fighting in Congress to expand access, because access is agency.
Congrats to all the young doctors who matched today at OHSU! 🩺
Meanwhile, Trump is undermining funding, questioning medical professionals, & ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. #IsThatMAGA?
He should be more like these young doctors, working to take care of people.
Great to see some local union members this morning from SEIU Local 503, Oregon AFL-CIO, OFNHP, ATU Local 757, and more.
I was raised by union members, so I know wins for labor and workers are wins for our communities. Labor leaders from #OR05 know it, too!
Well... he did it. Today, Trump signed an executive order to essentially abolish the Department of Education. #IsThatMAGA?
Just last week I called for him to actually do something to help our students – this is the opposite.
I'm going to fight this in every way I can.
As a mom who has fought to make sure kids with special needs, like mine, get the education they deserve, I know how Trump’s decision to ditch the Dept. of Ed. will harm families advocating at the state level.
It’s effed-up.
My take ⬇️

Need a passport? Having trouble with your benefits? Give my district office a call 📞 (503) 387-8651
Let’s go!
#MarchMadness – who’s in your bracket?
I sat down with representatives from the Bonneville Power Administration to hear about how Trump’s job cuts have caused chaos and confusion for them and the millions who rely on them for electricity.
He doesn’t care about keeping the lights on, but we do.
Our kids can’t afford Trump’s cuts to the Department of Education.
I’m all for shaking up the status quo, but not when our children’s access to a quality education is caught in the crossfire. Check out my take if you haven't already ⬇️
