I had the immense privilege of joining President Barack Obama in a conversation with the Democratic freshman class of House lawmakers this week.

After my office’s first Youth Advisory Council meeting, the message was crystal clear: our youth are done waiting for change. I’m proud to set the table for their ongoing input and counsel to bring true change to our community.

Today I went to the House floor to speak out against antisemitism and genocide.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

At a time when antisemitism is rising at home and abroad, this is absolutely horrific and puts the Jewish community at risk.
 
Trump must immediately reverse this dangerous decision. It is sick.

RFK Jr. is once again dehumanizing people with autism. It is sick, and we must call it out unequivocally for what it is: deadly misinformation.

As the federal government is twisted into a conduit for lies, I urge you to turn to your own trusted provider—not politicians—for health recommendations.

Trump is threatening death to lawmakers he doesn't agree with. Read that again. 

Americans deserve better than someone who spews hate and perpetuates political violence in the White House.

Our trans community deserves unconditional love and support.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we lift up those who were taken from us too soon—no one should be attacked or targeted for being their truest, most authentic self. Every person deserves equal rights and protections.

As the first pulmonologist in Congress, take it from me: early detection saves lives. This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, I'm encouraging those with risk factors to talk with their trusted physician about getting screened. I'll keep fighting for the affordable, accessible care you deserve.

Jena-Lisa Jones was only 14 when she was taken. She deserves justice.

The American people deserve the truth.

I voted to release the Epstein files. The Senate must do the same.
November 18, 2025 at 10:19 PM
I just voted to release the Epstein files because survivors deserve justice and the public deserves answers.

Anyone who stands in the way is complicit in shielding pedophiles.

Of course a billionaire can afford to be disconnected from reality—Oregon families know their costs are soaring because of Trump’s failed leadership and his allegiance to his cronies. Give me a break. Americans know and deserve better.

They were young girls when Jeffrey Epstein abused them. And they deserve justice.

Women and girls deserve so much better. Release the files.

Trump says he supports the House vote to release the Epstein files. That’s odd because he has the authority to just release them all RIGHT NOW. Why isn’t he?
November 18, 2025 at 1:04 AM
There is no question that I will vote to release the Epstein files when the resolution comes to a vote in the House this week. These brave women deserve justice.

If you can't stand on facts and science, you don't belong anywhere near the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. has got to go.

We're standing in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they strike for a first contract ✊

For over 4 years, workers have fought for a fair union contract. It’s time for Starbucks to bargain in good faith and for workers to get the contract they deserve.

If it wasn't already clear, this week showed the American people that Trump and Republicans are working harder to protect pedophiles than they are working to lower your healthcare costs.
