As Arab American Heritage Month draws to a close, we recognize that the rich contributions of our Arab American neighbors and friends in Oregon and around the country are not confined to a single month, and our appreciation should not be either.
Pure authoritarianism: the FCC is threatening to yank ABC’s broadcast license, following Trump’s renewed calls to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air.
This is Trump’s latest assault on free speech and freedom of the press—un-American and just plain wrong.
Last year, I met with teenagers in a Zambian village terrified about losing access to medication to treat the AIDS they contracted at birth. Now, Zambia's hospitals are overflowing with AIDS patients, thanks to Trump and Musk illegally shutting down health partnership program
Tying health care support to a critical mineral deal is an illegal, immoral act by the Trump Administration.
These programs were authorized and funded by Congress—and illegally gutted by Trump and Musk.
The Supreme Court dealt a serious blow to one of the bedrock laws that protects our fundamental freedom to vote today—a freedom that Justice Kagan reminds us was hard won in her dissent.
The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act.
States can now splinter minority communities into multiple Congressional Districts to eliminate their impact on elections. It's free rein to discriminate against communities of color.
The Coast Guard helicopter in Newport is absolutely critical to protecting our coastal communities.
That’s why @wyden.senate.gov, @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, and I fought to keep it in Newport, where it belongs.

The Government Accountability Office, an independent agency part of the legislative branch, plans to examine the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files.
A bipartisan group of senators raised concerns that the department violated the law.
I stand by calling Trump’s crypto scheme the "Mt. Everest of corruption."
It was wrong when I protested it a year ago, and it’s wrong now.
I’ll keep fighting to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act to stop the grift!
I called for an audit into the DOJ after the department ignored the clear deadline to release the Epstein Files laid out in the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act.
I will keep pushing for transparency and justice!
Déjà vu: Trump is hosting ANOTHER corrupt party for mega millionaires who invested in his crypto grift.
Pay-to-play on full display! This is why we need to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act!
Wow!!
It was a big deal when Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile in 1954.
Now, 72 years later, Sabastian Sawe has broken the 2-hour marathon!!
And just 11 seconds behind, Yomif Kejelcha also broke the 2-hour barrier!
