Trump is jamming the news cycle full of awful things to distract us—but we can’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I’m fighting to enforce the law and make the sure the full files are released.
Let’s be clear: the Trump Administration is trying to use absolutely every avenue it can to tighten its authoritarian grip. Jay Powell—whether you agree with him or not—remains steadfastly nonpartisan. We need to stand firm against Trump’s overreach and political retribution.

Health care costs are SKYROCKETING for more than 20 million Americans. Why? Because Trump and Republicans forced through tax breaks for billionaires—and left families across the country out in the cold.
Federal agents shot two people in East Portland. I’m demanding a full investigation that includes Oregon law enforcement—we can’t trust federal agencies to run a transparent and unbiased investigation. ICE needs to end their dangerous operations in Oregon NOW.
