When children, seniors, and veterans are going hungry, what is the President's response? Does he send a $40 billion check to those families like he did to Argentina? No. He turns his back on Americans. Visit www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/pages/default.aspx for food resources near you.

Nancy Pelosi’s service has made our nation stronger and has helped millions of Americans. She led with strength and grace, and I’m lucky to have served alongside her. She inspired countless women across the country, and I could not be more grateful for all she’s done.

The Department of Education has stolen $1 billion in federal grant funding meant to help hire school-based mental health professionals. I joined a letter asking the Secretary of ED how they will ensure schools have the resources to fight the mental health crisis. Read more 👇

I recently spoke with Sue, whose premium will more than double thanks to Republicans’ inaction to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. As a kidney donor, she can’t risk losing coverage. Her story is heartbreaking — and preventable. (1/2)

We’re in the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Workers are missing paychecks, families are struggling with health care costs, and children are going without food benefits — this is not an accomplishment we should be celebrating. Our nation is better than this.

Hear my thoughts as we head into the sixth week of the Republicans' shutdown 👇🎧

SNAP funding is held up because of Trump’s illegal delays. President Trump and his Administration have decided that it is okay to let children, families, and your neighbors starve — they need to put a stop to this cruelty. (1/2)

Republicans are on their record-breaking vacation when they should be at the negotiating table, working to reopen the government. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are united to reopen the government, safeguard health care, and lower the cost of living.

The Trump Admin has the power, money, and responsibility to ensure families don't go hungry. Despite a court order to distribute November SNAP benefits, Trump is REFUSING and trying to cheat hardworking people out of their full benefits.

I met with Shawn O'Neil, Mayor of #Wilsonville, in my D.C. office. I shared that I remain committed to working with our #OR06 local elected officials to find ways to further improve our communities.

Good. Read the full article 🔗 nytimes.com/2025/10/28/us/politics/administration-must-restore-some-mental-health-grants-court-says.html

The Republican To-Do List: ✅Slash Medicaid ✅Refusing to fund SNAP ✅Not extending ACA tax credits… which doubles health care premiums. Bottom line: they are hiking up pricing on everything to make your lives harder.

I stood with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to call out President Trump. His message is clear: He is willing to break the law to starve people.

I am thinking of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s family. May they find peace during this time.

Donald Trump is illegally withholding SNAP benefits from millions of Americans. I’m standing with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to demand Republicans keep America fed.

It’s Election Day! 🗳️ The right to vote is sacred, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure every Oregonian can make their voice heard.

Trump is choosing to starve children despite a federal court ordering his Administration to distribute SNAP funding. It's cruel and lawless, just like the rest of his Administration's actions.

Today I led 13 of my colleagues in sending a letter to the Trump Admin to demand they ensure journalists can freely exercise their First Amendment rights by allowing them to safely access and report on demonstrations across the country. Read the letter below ⬇️

President Trump’s unwillingness to release funds for SNAP is cruel, & the sad truth is that these consequences will ripple across the country. I joined @wyden.senate.gov at Marion Polk Food Share to drop some food off, tour the facility, & discuss how we're fighting to make sure nobody goes hungry.

House Republicans have no intention of returning from their super-extended vacation... what is it now? Day 34? When asked when Republicans will return to D.C., Mike Johnson responded, "What's the point?" Speaker Johnson, the DAMN POINT is to HELP AMERICANS.

This Native American Heritage Month, I’m proud to honor the diverse cultures & traditions of Oregon's Tribal communities — including the Grand Ronde Tribe in #OR06. Not just during November, but every month, we pay tribute to the countless contributions they have made to our nation.

As the days get shorter, remember that feeling down might not just be a case of the “winter blues.” It could be Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of depression characterized by a seasonal pattern. Learn more by clicking the link ⬇️ #MentalHealthMonday

Republicans are denying food assistance to 42 million Americans — including 16 million CHILDREN, 8 million SENIORS, 1.2 million VETERANS, & 750,000 OREGONIANS. The Trump Administration is breaking the law by refusing to use contingency funds. They must follow the law & issue November benefits now!

What is Mike Johnson scared of on this Halloween? It’s almost like he's hiding from the American people who are demanding he get his caucus in order to reopen the government… soooo spooky

Tomorrow, over 750,000 Oregonians will not receive their SNAP benefits for November. The sad reality is that Trump could fully fund SNAP through November if he wanted to. Instead, he is refusing to release these funds to feed families in every community across our country. Hear from me 👇

Mike Johnson had the f*cking nerve to say that Democrats were not in D.C. today to do the work of the American people. Seriously?? The only reason Rs are in town is to go to a f*cking WH Halloween party. They are telling the American people, "Let them eat candy." For tomorrow, there will be nothing.

Wishing all Oregonians a happy and safe Halloween! 🎃👻

📣ATTN #OR06 📣 You can now visit ohim.checkbookhealth.org to compare health plans for you and your family. After you view plans, let me know if your premiums increased so I can continue to do my job and fight for lower health care costs.

We owe our servicemembers a debt of gratitude for defending our nation. They shouldn't have to worry if they'll receive their next paycheck during a government shutdown. That is why I support bipartisan legislation to ensure that they get paid during Republicans’ shutdown. Listen to my message 👇

Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill was a massive gut punch to affordability in America, and allowing for the ACA tax credits to expire would be a devastating blow to families' wallets. Republicans must cancel their extended vacations and get back to work to protect your health care from rising.

Sue & Steve are two of my constituents who are about to see their health care costs skyrocket because Republicans want to take away the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credit — forcing them to choose between higher costs or going without health care. Listen to their heartbreaking & preventable stories.

Speaker Johnson, it is long overdue for you to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. SWEAR HER IN.

I joined the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social at a hearing to call out Republicans on the health care crisis they created, which is forcing millions of families and caregivers — including my constituent, Nancy — to face impossible choices. Listen to Nancy's story ⬇️

It’s been 29 DAYS of the Republican shutdown. My Republican colleagues are GLAMPING while @housedemocrats.bsky.social are ready to get back to work to lower your cost of living.

Republicans are running out of time to restore SNAP funding for November. They must come to the table and negotiate so we can ensure hardworking Americans can afford to feed their kids and keep their families healthy. They promised to lower costs for you...they lied and broke their promise.

Yesterday, I took to the House Floor to ask for Unanimous Consent to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva. Speaker Johnson isn’t just silencing one Representative. He’s silencing 800,000 people in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. SWEAR HER IN.

Are your health insurance premiums rising? Sadly, you’re not alone. Republicans in Congress are refusing to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits, which could nearly double the cost of coverage. Click the link below if you or a loved one is experiencing a spike in coverage.

If Republicans do not act, health care premiums will skyrocket for countless Americans across the country, including in #OR06. Republicans have created a full blown health care crisis, including for one of my residents, Sue from Salem. Read her story 👇

Today is National Immigrants Day. As the daughter of an immigrant, I’m proud to honor the diverse cultures, rich histories, and extraordinary contributions that they have brought to this nation. (1/2)

Republicans' cuts to health care and the rising cost of living are forcing women out of the workforce. Women are an essential part of our health care system — making up 87% of home health aides. Republicans created this crisis, and they need to act now to fix it.

Trump is withholding funding for SNAP and forcing families to go hungry. There is $3 billion in SNAP's emergency funds to cover benefits for November, but Trump won’t use it to feed seniors, children, and veterans. Trump is saying there’s money to bail out Argentina, but there’s no money for you.

Today is National First Responders Day. As the daughter of a police officer, I want to thank the countless brave heroes who have answered the call to service. In Congress, I will continue to ensure that our first responders have the resources & support they need to keep our communities safe.

I joined @wyden.senate.gov in signing an Amicus Brief to challenge Trump’s decision to impose sweeping tariffs, which are reckless & unconstitutional. His tariffs have driven up prices, hurt Americans, & eroded the Constitution’s separation of powers. (1/2)
