Trump's crypto memecoin. Multi-million dinners with CEOs. Firing independent officials in charge of rooting out corruption. Giant tax cuts to Trump's billionaire friends. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our nation's history.
Trumpflation is putting pressure on small businesses. Burley Design in Eugene is an Oregon gem that has helped folks explore their community by bike for nearly 50 years—I heard from folks there about how chaotic tariffs make it difficult to operate their family-owned business.

Looking Glass Community Services has enriched the lives of folks in the Eugene area since 1970. I learned about their Rural Program and the vital resources it offers homeless youth, creating long-term solutions that improve the quality of their lives. Such important work.

A beautiful journey—only recently made possible again by historic dam removals. The Klamath River has rich cultural significance for Tribes who have been stewards of these lands and waters since time immemorial. Amazing to see young people make this trip.
South Lane Clinic in Cottage Grove is doing essential work to connect rural communities with the health services they need in the face of Republican attacks on health care. Everyone should have access to the care they need—and clinics like this are a key piece of the puzzle.

Taking the Coast Guard rescue helicopter out of Newport is dangerous and senseless, especially as we go into crabbing season. I’ve been fighting like hell to push back on Trump’s move and bring this critical helicopter back to Newport where it belongs. Lives are at stake!
It’s just wrong to have Great Gatsby parties for the rich and bare Thanksgiving tables for vulnerable families. I’m fighting to make sure families have the resources they need to put food on the table.
Trump is taking food away from our most vulnerable—kids, seniors, folks with disabilities. It’s just wrong—proof he’s not fighting to make YOUR life better. I’m fighting to make sure every family has the resources they need to put food on the table.
