Today, Oregon wins! Good luck to both teams, coaches, & all the players playing in Eugene today. Looking forward to a great game!

Today, @merkley.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, @pkryan.bsky.social and @jayapal.house.gov introduced The #PatientsOverProfits Act Here's what you need to know: 🧵 www.merkley.senate.gov/merkley-warr...

The American people have been clear: they want to release the Epstein Files and to finally get justice for Epstein’s victims. Republicans BLOCKED a Senate amendment to do just that—they blocked transparency!

We’re told to budget harder, hustle more, and settle for less. Meanwhile, billionaires scoop up mansions and yachts. The system isn’t broken—it’s rigged. This is why we fight.

UPDATE: All but 3 House Republicans voted FOR the bill. They have officially given away our CONSTITUTIONALLY DIRECTED duty to set & weigh in on tariffs through March 2026. House Democrats all voted 'No' to help lower costs, protect small businesses, & defend the Constitution.

🚨 TARIFF UPDATE 🚨 Last night, Republicans snuck a bill into today's docket that would stop Congress from pushing back on Trump's reckless tariffs until March 2026. These tariffs are not strategic - they are hurting small businesses, American manufacturing, & raising costs for us all. I'm a 'No'.

Last week, I voted 'No' on giving more money to the Pentagon, just like I do every year. Why? Because D.C. is always telling us they don't have money to help us with wildfires & homelessness, but then they somehow find TRILLIONS for foreign wars? Yeah, I think not. Read my full statement here:

This week, I joined my colleagues in rallying to pass the the Block the Bombs Act & reiterate a simple idea: if you get American weapons, you must use them in line with our laws & international law.  We are complicit in the destruction of Gaza. We must hold every nation to the same standard.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, including 21 members of the IBEW. May we never forget their memory.

Today, we remember and honor those we lost on September 11, 2001. #NeverForget

The attempt on Charlie Kirk’s life is a disgusting act of political violence that has no place in our country. We must reject this kind of violence in every form.

The US needs more electricians to service data centers. Unions say the workers can make a great living. finance.yahoo.com/news/thanks-...

LEVEL 3, GO NOW: "Sheriff John Ward of the Curry County Sheriff’s Office issued a Level 3, GO NOW, evacuation order for the area of Rogue River Ranch, Tucker Flat Campground and the nearby area of Marial."

Last week, I led House Democrats in demanding answers on how Trump would ensure the Bureau of Labor Statistics would be shielded from political interference. Now it’s clear: it won’t be. Rejecting facts might work for Trump’s appointees, but the rest of us still have to live with reality.

Let's get one thing clear: the reason Democrats want to release the Epstein Files is because we believe in protecting victims, not abusers. I don't give a damn who's in those files: whether they're Democrats or Republicans, they must be brought to justice. Release ALL the files & release them NOW.

This week there are two Epstein Files-related bills in Congress. One gives Republicans the power to decide what you see. The other releases EVERYTHING to the public & protects victims. I'm joining Reps. Massie & Khanna to protect victims & release ALL the files DIRECTLY to the people.

Labor Day is the day we celebrate working people & recognize how far we’ve come because of the power of the labor movement. Unions are under attack because when we use our voices to fight for freedom, fairness & security, we win. [1/2]

Working people have fought for and died for the workplace rights we enjoy today. How will you be honoring them on Workers’ Labor Day? Join America’s unions today at an event near you: WorkersLaborDay.org

Thanks to excellent reporting from numerous other local & national journalists, we know an immigration raid was conducted on a LIVE fire line in Washington State. My full statement ⬇️

I am heartbroken by the news of the two children who lost their lives & the countless others who were injured & traumatized at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis today. People should be able to worship freely without fear of losing their lives or their children.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

Here, fixed it.

8/20/25 - Level 3 (GO NOW) Evacuation Alert for area southeast of Eugene The following areas and neighborhoods are being issued a Level 3 (GO NOW) evacuation notice: - Hideaway Hills to the power lines east of Skyhawk Way from Hampton Road south to Dillard Road www.facebook.com/share/p/1K3i...

To every politician across the country, America’s unions have a simple question: which side are you on? The side of working families fighting for freedom, fairness and security, or the billionaires trying to gut our health care, SNAP, and jobs?

I hear the same thing from people in every community: we need safe streets, affordable homes, access to health care, & a clean environment. These investments are part of our promise to bring our tax dollars back home to invest in Oregon. Thank you for letting me serve you.

THIS WEEK! If you’re in & around Eugene come by, ask questions, & hear about my work in D.C.

"We have to reassert the sovereignty of people above profits in America." -UAW's 4th President, Walter Reuther

EUGENE, I want to hear from you! Join me at my Eugene town hall on WEDNESDAY, August 20th at South Eugene High School. Doors open at 5PM! I'll be giving you updates on my work in D.C. & taking your questions!

SOCIAL SECURITY ISN'T AN ENTITLEMENT, IT'S AN EARNED BENEFIT. On it's 90th anniversary, Social Security is under attack like never before. That's why I’m fighting alongside @sanders.senate.gov to pass our Social Security Expansion Act to expand benefits & extend the life of the program by 75 years.

The EPA just dropped its union contracts—claiming “national security” as an excuse. This isn’t vigilance—it’s union-busting, plain and simple. We must stand with EPA workers fighting for their rights and for clean air and water. seiu.co/45pQ237

Throughout August, I've met with health care providers across the district & one thing is clear: the Republican budget bill will worsen care & close hospitals. These firsthand testimonies will guide my work when I return to D.C., as we fight to prevent the worst of these cuts from taking effect.

EUGENE, I want to hear from you! Join me at my Eugene town hall on WEDNESDAY, August 20th at South Eugene High School. Doors open at 5PM! I'll be giving you updates on my work in D.C. & taking your questions!

Hey VA Secretary Doug Collins, this you? Were you telling the truth during your hearing or do you just not care about the rights of workers at the VA? America’s unions will fight this disgusting union busting—we’re not going anywhere.

Everyone who cares about the fundamental freedoms of working people should be outraged by the VA terminating the union contracts of hundreds of thousands of workers. America’s unions aren’t going anywhere—and we’re calling on workers everywhere to join us. aflcio.org/press/releas...

🚨 FROM LANE COUNTY SHERIFF: Level 3 (GO NOW) evac for ROBERTS RANCH ROAD and DUNNING ROAD in OAKRIDGE www.facebook.com/share/p/1Lfh...

Today, VA Secretary Collins notified unionized VA workers that their contracts were terminated effective immediately.

This is union busting. All because workers are speaking up about how budget cuts harm our veterans. [1/2]

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law & today it's under attack.   Across the country, Republican officials are working to silence minorities & rig the game.   If they're done playing fair, we're done playing nice. The gloves are off. [1/2]

When we return to D.C. House Republicans will attempt to destroy environmental protections like the Endangered Species Act to appease their big oil donors. When conservationist & TV host Jeff Corwin stopped by my office, he reminded us that it wasn't always this way. We cannot let this happen.

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Kind of interesting how that works, huh?

Jonathan said it best: union busting IS disgusting! The labor movement will always stand in solidarity with ALL working people nationwide fighting for the freedom, fairness and security they need and deserve. @meidastouch.com

Every hour that passes, at least one CHILD is killed in Gaza.   That's one child every hour, of every day, of every week, of every single one of the 21 months that the war has been ongoing.   The American government can no longer be complicit in Prime Minister Netanyahu's ethnic cleansing campaign.
