“Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress. Allowing millions of Americans, including hundreds of thousands of Oregonians, to lose access to basic food support is a failure of leadership and a national embarrassment.”

Unwanted and unnecessary national guard deployment? Silence. Cutting healthcare coverage? Silence. Tariffs raising costs for families? Silence. AI videos of the President literally dumping crap on Americans citizens? Silence. Cutting food assistance to over 750,000 Oregonians? Silence. #orleg #orpol

Rep. Hudson (D-Troutdale), Chair of the House Committee on Education, said the decision to fire special education workers strikes especially close to home. Before serving in the legislature, he spent years teaching students with a range of learning differences and special needs in Oregon classrooms.

“We will show the world why Oregon is one of the greatest places to call home. We will show that public joy is an act of resistance. That caring for & protecting our neighbors is an act of resistance. And that staying calm and deliberate, when others expect us to be afraid, is an act of resistance.”

Trump ripped away billions from Oregonians. He is threatening health care, housing, & our climate future. States were never meant to backfill cuts this big. We're fighting back with everything we’ve got, & during legislative days this week, we’ll be talking about what we can expect. #orpol #orleg

If the Trump Administration wanted to help Oregonians, they wouldn’t be sending troops into peaceful cities. They wouldn’t be arresting firefighters trying to save lives.

Students' education journey starts well before they are a Duck or a Beaver. That's why in the 2025 session, we invested $11.4 billion in school funding, the largest investment in state history. We also added new accountability measures to Oregon schools to improve student success. #orleg #orpol

House Democrats are stepping up to protect abortion access in Oregon. While the Trump Administration and Republicans work to defund Planned Parenthood, we’re creating a workgroup focused on equitable reproductive health access and protecting doctors from out-of-state prosecution. #orleg #orpol

On Monday, we heard from the public their thoughts about the transportation package the legislature will discuss in Friday's special session. Everyday Oregonians, local government officials and industries impacted by the package came out to share their thoughts.

We're not here to say that Portland is a perfect city. But we're pretty dang proud of everything it has to offer. From world-renowned food to being the home of some of the most recognizable brands to diverse live entertainment to beautiful nature: Portland's far from a "craphole city." #pdx

The $15 billion cut to Oregon from the “Big, Ugly Bill” is more than numbers. It’s lost health care, empty plates, and damage to our fisheries and forests. 1 in 3 Oregonians rely on the Oregon Health Plan for health care, and 1 in 6 rely on federal food assistance. #orpol #orleg
