The administration is blurring the line between law enforcement and state-sanctioned terrorism with guardsmen deployed to our cities and ICE agents patrolling the streets.
Today in Minnesota, it led to tragedy. The President needs to stop his attempted takeovers of our cities.

An ICE agent shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday, federal authorities said. The shooting in a residential neighborhood comes days after the Trump administration ramped up the agency’s presence in the city. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4qgGgYU

Yeah, I did confront Speaker Johnson last night.
I told him the facts can't only be shared with one side of the aisle, and he can't continue to just bend the knee to Trump.
My constituents are upset, and they deserve answers.

The more we learn about microplastics, the more it becomes clear that they are everywhere, and posing significant risk to our health.
That's why I introduced the Microplastics Safety Act.
We can't take a wait-and-see approach – we need to act now.

As costs continue to rise, Americans are going to be forced to choose between things like putting food on the table and their monthly prescriptions.
No one should be forced to make this choice – that’s why I’m fighting to protect healthcare for all Oregonians.

5 years ago, some goons who failed to respect the voices of the people & their votes attacked the Capitol.
My prayers are with the families of those whose lives were lost that day, & I am thankful for the officers who bravely defended our democracy.
Political violence has no place in this country.

Speaker Johnson refused to hold a vote to extend the ACA subsidies last year, so Democrats are forcing a vote this week.
For me, it's a no brainer – protecting healthcare for Oregonians and keeping costs low are non-negotiables.

Speaker Johnson refused to hold a vote to protect tax credits in the #AffordableCareAct before the holidays, which means tomorrow, they will expire.
I’ll continue fighting to do whatever I can to make sure Oregonians aren’t forced to decide between the care they need and putting food on the table.

This year, I’ve helped bring over $160 million in federal funding home to CD5 for projects across our district.
And it doesn’t stop there – I’m pushing for another $34 million for clean water, public safety, and affordable housing projects.

Speaker Johnson sent us home for the holidays without holding a vote to protect the ACA subsidies – unfortunately, I can’t say I’m surprised.
This means that in the new year, my constituents will see their costs rise by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. It’s unacceptable.
