Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month and every month we celebrate the vibrant culture and countless contributions our Latino and Hispanic American friends and neighbors make to communities in every corner of Oregon and across our nation.
G'mar Chatimah Tovah. Wishing our Jewish friends and neighbors in Oregon and around the world observing Yom Kippur a peaceful and meaningful fast.
On LGBTQ+ Servicemembers and Veterans Day, we honor our LGBTQ+ servicemembers and veterans for their service to our country, especially during times of hateful and discriminatory policies. We must make sure all who serve are treated with dignity and respect.
On National Stillbirth Prevention and Awareness Day, we remember the many families who have experienced the tragedy of stillbirth and pregnancy loss.
My bipartisan bill to help prevent stillbirth is now law, and I'll keep fighting for action on this public health crisis.
Trump and Zeldin are handing polluters a blank check.
Who picks up the tab?
You and your family.
The Trump 3-step plan:
Destroy the amazing Kennedy Center arts programming.
Throw a tantrum over putting his name on the building.
Tear down the building.
NO WAY!

Trump and his family are raking in BILLIONS as he guts the resources families across the country count on.
Just plain wrong, any way you slice it.
Record diesel prices—$6 a gallon—are pressing families to the wall. When the price of diesel goes up, the price of just about everything else—from groceries to clothes—goes up, too.
Trump’s war of choice with Iran is making life more expensive for you and your family.
There’s no way I’d vote for a bill that permits Trump to continue his crypto grift.
Insufficient anti-corruption standards and ethics guardrails ALONE is enough to make the CLARITY Act a non-starter.
Another day, another Trump family scandal. The grift never ends.
The American people deserve answers about why a Putin-linked Russian oligarch spent gobs of money on Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding.
Slavery should be illegal, no exceptions.
That’s why @booker.senate.gov, @repnikema.bsky.social, and I are fighting to remove the Slavery Clause from our Constitution—which STILL allows for slavery “as a punishment for crime.”
A ban on slavery can’t come with a loophole.
HUGE NEWS: the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s plan to restrict vote by mail.
Vote by mail is a safe, secure system—and I’ll keep fighting to protect it!
Tragic news. We’re in debt to all of the wildland firefighters working long hours in dangerous conditions to keep our communities safe.
My thoughts are with the firefighter’s loved ones, fellow firefighters, and friends in the wake of this huge loss.
I requested this report last August.
It makes clear what we already knew: the Trump Administration’s Alligator Alcatraz jail is horrific.
“Does not align with standards for humane treatment” is an understatement. It's shameful.
Under the “leadership” of Zeldin and Trump the EPA is selling out YOUR health to line polluter pockets.
They’re ignoring science, the effects of climate chaos we’re already feeling, and the people they serve. Just sickening.
Big thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on protecting free speech, rooting our dark money, and reforming the Supreme Court during my “Stop the Corruption” town hall in Medford.
Together, we can restore government that works for the people, not just the powerful and privileged.
Folks are concerned about the unprecedented level of corruption we’re seeing in our country right now. Thank you to everyone who attended my town hall with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social in Springfield to talk about dark money, rooting out corruption, our path forward.
