Because I keep hearing Republicans talk about how my city is a hell hole, I decided to go down to the ICE facility and see what things look like for myself. As you can see from the video, it’s not the war zone that Trump describes!

Proud to join my colleagues and Gov. Kotek for the ceremonial signing of SB 426 at the Carpenters Union Hall. I signed on as a sponsor of this bill because wage theft needs to end!
There is power in collective bargaining!

I was having a relaxing Sunday evening at home when I heard that 8 Senators who caucus with the Democrats CAVED!

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a final court order blocking National Guard deployment!
Today's ruling is a huge victory for Oregon. The courts are holding this administration accountable to the truth and the rule of law.

Great news! Oregon families can now get SNAP benefits at least for the month of November. We still urgently need Congressional Republicans to negotiate to end the shutdown, lower skyrocketing healthcare premiums, and make sure families can get the food and housing assistance they need!
Big thanks to @GovTinaKotek and @ORHumanServices who worked hard to be ready to access the November funds for Oregonians as soon as they became available after the federal court ruling. I urge Congressional Rs to negotiate with Dems to lower healthcare premiums & food costs.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi at a couple of different political events over the years. The opportunities I’ve had to bend her ear are political highlights for me.
I hope she enjoys the last year of her term as she enters a well deserved retirement.

Even though the Trump administration says they will partially fund SNAP this month, we still don’t know when Oregonians will get their benefits. But we do know that our community is stepping up in a big way to keep our neighbors from going hungry. 🧵

Proud to be named a Public Health Champ!
As a registered nurse, I know that we are all healthier when we are all healthy. Public health workers do amazing work on the ground, often in places most people won’t go. I celebrate them & all of their unseen but impactful work!

Small town grocery stores operate on extremely tight budgets. They depend on SNAP (food stamps) to keep their doors open. When rural grocery stores close, EVERYONE in the community loses access to food. Not just the Bi-POC, poor and undocumented folks.

Happy to be on hand for the grand opening of the Center for Addictions Triage and Treatment (CATT) in Washington County.

At first Trump said none of the White House would be touched.
Then came the bulldozers & we were told that some of the East Wing would be demolished.
Now, Trump is saying that the ENTIRE East Wing will be torn down.
