The Senate needs to hold the line for a government funding deal that protects healthcare and lowers costs. Not one that sells out the American people.

This never should have been a question, but today the Supreme Court sent a powerful reminder that the right to love who you love isn't up for debate.
It is the law of the land.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.
Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.
It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

Calling what’s coming out of the Senate a ‘deal’ is an insult. It’s caving on millions of people’s healthcare, putting a bow on it, and calling it compromise.

I didn’t spend 20 years saving lives to sit back in Congress while Republicans decimate our healthcare system. The deal being negotiated in the Senate to reopen the government does nothing to lower healthcare costs for a single Oregonian.

The rule of law has been upheld, not the whims of a wannabe king. Today a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the National Guard being deployed in Portland. This affirms what we’ve always known: Portland is home. Not a military target.

Speaker Mike Johnson sent House Republicans on vacation in September—and now Trump's shutdown is ruining your vacation.
Flights are being canceled across the nation, including at PDX.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Republicans need to get back to work and reopen the government.

Good news: SNAP benefits should be fully available for Oregonians today. If you are expecting a SNAP balance and don’t see one, call the ONE Customer Service Center at 800-699-9075.

A judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits.
Their response? Immediately appeal the ruling.
They’re going to court to keep 42 million hungry Americans from getting food.
Shameful.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump admin to fund food stamps in full this month. Pretty quickly, DOJ said it would appeal.
Now, millions of poor families are in limbo, and it is not entirely clear if/when they're going to see *any* SNAP payments in Nov.

If you see ICE in your neighborhood call PIRC (1-888-622-1510). Call my office (503-231-2300) if your friend or family member has been detained.

Trump spent the weekend partying with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago. Today he's proudly announcing he won't follow a court order to provide 42 million Americans food assistance.

Even after losing in court, Trump is still trying to withhold food assistance to hard-working Americans. Trump has the authority to FULLY fund SNAP and needs to do so immediately. Our communities deserve nothing less.
