Happy 167th Birthday to our great state, #Oregon 🎂🥳

Today and always, I am proud to serve as your Member of Congress! I will continue fighting to improve the lives of Oregonians and find real solutions so our children and grandchildren can thrive.

Cheers 🥂

Today, @merkley.senate.gov and I stood up for victims of ICE overreach — and laid out our solution to stop it.

Our new legislation lets people sue ICE and CBP for trampling on their rights. When we choose accountability, we can put an end to Trump’s abuse.

Oregon families paid an average of $1,791 MORE in 2025 under President Trump.

See for yourself just how much Trump’s tariffs & Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill raised prices for YOU 👇

Republicans already took billions of taxpayers' dollars from their Big, Ugly Bill to give to ICE, and now they want even more money for them.

President Trump and Republicans need to protect our communities, not make them unsafe.

The NAACP was founded on this day in 1909. Today, we celebrate their work in advancing Black Americans' rights in the fight towards a more equal and just nation for every American.

Thank you for over a century of your unwavering commitment!

Ariana is a 14-year-old who was detained by ICE.

Her story is heartbreaking. Children are being traumatized by this Administration. Is this the nation we want to be?

BAD NEWS 🚨The Trump Administration just TERMINATED emission standards, giving big corporations the green light to pollute our air.

❌This is terrible for our environment and terrible for our health.

Oregonians don’t want or need an ICE detention facility. I won’t sit by while ICE tries to tiptoe around the fact they are trying to open one in Newport.

I led Oregon’s Democratic members to demand ICE and CBP tell Oregonians the truth about what they’re planning. You deserve to know.

It was great meeting with AFGE Local 3937 — the union representing Social Security Administration workers in the Northwest.

Trump’s cuts to the SSA created a customer service crisis that harms claimants. I’m committed to protecting Social Security and ensuring staff can provide services reliably.

Last night, Congress handed a loss to Speaker Johnson. He tried to stop us from voting to roll back Trump’s tariffs on Canada, but he failed.

Today, the House will vote to end those tariffs. I spoke on the floor about why that’s so important for Oregonians.

That's why we just released an agenda that provides real, commonsense solutions for how Congress can lower costs on everything from health care to groceries.

This money will go to assessment, treatment, and prevention of child abuse, neglect, and trauma.

House Republicans and President Trump are doing NOTHING to help you pay your utility bill, make next month's rent, or feed your children.

In fact, their big UGLY bill is making it even HARDER for you and your families to live your lives.
