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.

Will the FBI investigate President Trump's call for the deaths of sitting Democratic lawmakers?

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.  www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Joint Statement from Goodlander, Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, and Houlahan

Don't give up the ship.

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.

Oregon leadership at work for all of us: Planned Parenthood is here to stay.

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.

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.

It's simple. No contract, no coffee.

Courtney. Jenna. Marina. Anouska. Haley. 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?

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.

It was never about the shutdown. Trump is still doing everything in his power to stop hungry people from being fed. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

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.

My casework team has been hard at work for the people of Oregon's Third District. I am excited to share that we have helped constituents recover more than half a million dollars owed to them by the federal government.

Today’s decision is disappointing. I am not in this fight only for myself, and I’m concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration. This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people, and our country.

Oregonians deserve more than the status quo—they deserve a government that is obsessed with serving working families. That’s how I am approaching my work in Congress.

After seven weeks of obstruction, Congresswoman Grijalva was sworn into office as the newest member of Congress! She will be a fierce fighter for the people of Arizona.

Speaker Mike Johnson kept the House on vacation for WEEKS to avoid swearing in Congresswoman Grijalva, all because her signature would have forced a vote to release the Epstein files. Today she was finally sworn in.

MAJOR BREAKING: Adelita Grijalva is now a member of Congress

After a 54-day paid vacation, House Republicans are finally back at work. It’s devastating that they are back just to rubber-stamp a funding deal that does nothing to make healthcare more affordable for working families.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

I’m in the House Rules Committee to testify against the Senate’s broken deal to reopen the government. We need a funding agreement that protects healthcare, not one that betrays working families. House Democrats are holding the line.

The ‘deal’ that passed out of the Senate last night was an insult to the American people. I’m headed back to DC to hold the line for your healthcare.

The Senate needs to hold the line for a government funding deal that protects healthcare and lowers costs. Not one that sells out the American people.

This never should have been a question, but today the Supreme Court sent a powerful reminder that the right to love who you love isn't up for debate. It is the law of the land.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits. Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families. It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

Calling what’s coming out of the Senate a ‘deal’ is an insult. It’s caving on millions of people’s healthcare, putting a bow on it, and calling it compromise.

I didn’t spend 20 years saving lives to sit back in Congress while Republicans decimate our healthcare system. The deal being negotiated in the Senate to reopen the government does nothing to lower healthcare costs for a single Oregonian.

The rule of law has been upheld, not the whims of a wannabe king. Today a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the National Guard being deployed in Portland. This affirms what we’ve always known: Portland is home. Not a military target.

Speaker Mike Johnson sent House Republicans on vacation in September—and now Trump's shutdown is ruining your vacation. Flights are being canceled across the nation, including at PDX. It doesn’t have to be this way. Republicans need to get back to work and reopen the government.

I hope to see you at my town hall tomorrow!

I caught up with Attorney General Dan Rayfield in DC after his team argued against Trump’s illegal tariffs at the Supreme Court. He breaks down what’s at stake in the case and where we go from here.

Good news: SNAP benefits should be fully available for Oregonians today. If you are expecting a SNAP balance and don’t see one, call the ONE Customer Service Center at 800-699-9075.

A judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits. Their response? Immediately appeal the ruling. They’re going to court to keep 42 million hungry Americans from getting food. Shameful.

Schools should be safe havens, not training grounds for surviving government violence. Thank you PPS for putting our students & their safety first. If you see ICE in your neighborhood call PIRC (1-888-622-1510). Call my office (503-231-2300) if your friend or family member has been detained.

Oregonians are consistently showing what it means to lead with courage and compassion. I'm damn proud to call this place home. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi often reminded House members that our job title and description are the same: representative. Since 1987, Nancy Pelosi embodied that truth as a brilliant and accomplished representative for the people of San Francisco and for our nation.

House Democrats believe that in the richest country in the world, no one should go hungry. Trump clearly doesn't share that value.

Today, Attorney General Dan Rayfield's team went before the Supreme Court to fight Trump's lawless tariffs. Their fight is our fight. Oregon is showing up to defend working people and the Constitution.
