Today’s decisive Supreme Court decision confirms that Trump can’t just send the National Guard to cities when he feels like it. This is good news for people in Chicago, Portland, and across the country.

As this year comes to a close, I want to highlight the resilience of the Portland community. During the shutdown I met with the CEO and employees of Laughing Planet, a local business that stepped up to feed neighbors who lost their SNAP benefits.

Ripping children away from caring parents is inhumane. It's horrific that Trump's out of control immigration agents are deporting parents without due process and leaving young children traumatized and without their families.

Health care costs are about to skyrocket for millions of Americans, but the House GOP chose to spend last week advancing anti-trans legislation instead of policies that would protect access to health care. I spoke out against the so-called "Do No Harm" Act on the floor.

For years food banks have provided a lifeline for individuals, families, and children facing hunger. I have heard from food banks in NW Oregon that sometimes they have to limit the number of people they can serve because of insufficient storage.

Threatening to defund hospitals that provide evidence-based, life-saving gender affirming care is cruel and harmful and will destabilize our nation’s hospitals. Decisions about health care should be made by the individual and their health care provider, not by politicians.

Oregonians are clear: we do not want and do not need an ICE detention facility. Secretary Noem's DHS operations have been fraught with secrecy, deception, and cruelty. Another detention facility is not and will not be welcome in Portland, or any city.
