HUGE fail.

This week, I introduced the bipartisan SAW Act which would prohibit the use of snowmobiles to kill wolves and other species on federal lands. As others work to loosen protections, it is more important than ever that we stand together as responsible stewards of our federal lands and wildlife.

Thank you to our amazing Fall interns, Ashlyn and Hunter, for all your hard work this semester! We’re sad to see you go, but so excited to see all the amazing things you do next!

This is a step in the right direction that Democrats should’ve taken a long time ago. That said, Schedule III ≠ legal. We have a long way to go to make sure cannabis consumers and businesses can (responsibly) thrive.

Good news — The Columbia River Clean-Up Act passed through the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee today! This is a huge step in making sure our community partners have federal funding and resources to clean-up pollution in the Columbia River Basin.

Providing care and advice is a doctor’s job, taking care of your children is a parent’s duty. Let’s keep it that way.

Our Know Your Rights training is coming up — submit the questions you want answered here: forms.gle/6pbCqWzNcgBS...

The power to declare war rests with Congress, and any declaration of war needs to be brought to Congress to be debated and voted on. I proudly voted for the War Powers Resolution bills on the floor today.

Thank you to the more than 7,200 Oregonians that tuned into my telephone town hall last night! In a time of uncertainty and division, there’s nothing better than gathering as a community (even virtually!)

My statement on this morning's attack on the Jewish community at Bondi Beach. My heart goes out to everyone impacted.

Today I joined State Rep. David Gomberg and over 300 people in Newport to send a clear message: NO to ICE in our community.

Thank you to IAFF President Ed Kelly and the @iaffofficial.bsky.social North American District Vice Presidents for speaking with me and the @laborcaucus.house.gov this week. #unionstrong

REMINDER: Two days until my Telephone Town Hall! Sign up here:

I have just received written confirmation from the Coast Guard that the Newport helicopter is here to stay. Full press release linked below.

It was great to have @ohsunews.bsky.social President Shereef Elnahal in DC today to discuss expanding healthcare coverage in Oregon and ways to make continued investments in our healthcare professionals.

1/ ICYMI: The Roseburg State Veterans Home has repeatedly been overlooked and last week, I testified before the Veterans Affairs Committee to make it CLEAR that rural veterans cannot wait any longer for critical care that is rightfully theirs.

The Administration cannot take away the voices of federal employees.

America’s unions celebrate the long-awaited release of SMART union member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Welcome home, brother.

I will not settle for anything short of transparency and accountability for all Americans. See below for the full statement on my vote against allowing more unchecked Pentagon spending in the NDAA👇

If you’re wondering - I am not surprised by today’s news of the oil tanker being seized off of Venezuela’s coast.

Got questions?? Join us MONDAY 12/15 at 5:30PM PST for another telephone town hall to talk about what I’ve been working on and answer questions you have about pressing issues at home and around the country. Sign up below:

My Democratic colleagues and I will not stand for inhumane conditions, lack of oversight, and detention without probable cause in billionaire-backed ICE detention centers. It is wrong. It is racist. It is unconstitutional.

It’s official: The Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act passed the House. Now, it’s on the way to the President’s desk.   We’re not leaving anyone behind.

Today, I urged my colleagues to support the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act, an essential lifeline for rural communities across my district. It's already passed the Senate - stay tuned for an update as it goes through the House tonight.

We have more in common with our immigrant siblings than we do any billionaire or corporate CEO. Unity and solidarity are the source of our strength, and America’s unions will keep fighting to make sure working people, regardless of status, are protected at work and at home.

Huge win: the Coast Guard helicopter is back permanently in Newport. This will save lives - and we all pulled together to get it done.

Let’s call this what it is: greed. I’ve met with workers all across America — not a single one has said we need more billionaires. A union contract is how we balance the scales and workers get their fair share of the profits they create. https://on.wsj.com/3KzznSL

It goes without saying - this was never about making us safer.

Go Ducks!! Looking forward to playoffs!

Wishing everyone a warm and safe Thanksgiving filled with good food and good people.

The attack yesterday in our nation’s capital that left two National Guard members in critical condition is devastating and unacceptable. I am grateful for their service, and my heart goes out to their families and loved ones.

Great news! Thanks to @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for bringing this lawsuit and for everyone in Newport who has been fighting so hard to ensure we keep our coastal communities safe. I will keep pushing for answers until this temporary order is made permanent.

The Department of Education’s resources and funding are critical to millions of students, working families and teachers across the country. Dismantling this agency does nothing to help kids succeed — it jeopardizes their futures. https://to.pbs.org/3LUs2xH

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, America’s unions mourn and honor our friends, family and coworkers whose lives were tragically cut short by hate. We stand against all forms of discrimination and violence everywhere.

The Republican NDAA amendment suggested below that would ban state AI regulation is outrageous. We the People deserve a say in how AI is regulated to address impacts to the workforce, information integrity & preserve states’ rights. This Big Tech backroom deal is government overreach plain & simple.

Congratulations @repvalhoyle.bsky.social. We look forward to working with you on the critical issues facing Flight Attendants.

Thank you to Steve Schembs from the Association of Flight Attendants @afacwa.org for being the first to congratulate me on my appointment to the Aviation subcommittee. #UnionProud

Today, I was appointed to serve on the Subcommittee on Aviation in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Let's get to work ✈️

Unions for All is how we win fair wages, respect on the job, and real dignity for every worker.

My office is aware of an ongoing ICE operation in the Eugene and Springfield area. We are in touch with Rapid Response Lane County and have made outreach to ICE to try to get more information. (1/2)

Today, I voted for the full release of the Epstein files. Read my full statement below 👇

The Trump admin is trying to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency that protects working people when big banks cheat them on mortgages, credit cards and more. This is an attack on all workers and their financial security. https://politi.co/3LCAFwy

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to serve our country in uniform. From care at the VA to the GI Bill — we must protect the benefits our veterans earned & keep the promise we made to them & their families. You stood up for us & now it's our turn to stand up for you. Happy Veterans Day.

The American people cannot pay their premiums with promises. The Republicans have had TEN MONTHS to extend the insurance tax credits that tens of millions rely on. They’ve done nothing. Why would this time be any different? It’s either in the bill or it isn’t getting my vote.

I didn't know 'America First' meant sending our kids to die for oil in another foreign war.    President Trump's strikes in the Caribbean & his impending war in Venezuela are illegal without a vote by Congress. We the People deserve a say in if our kids get sent to die in a repeat of the Iraq War.

Despite a court order, the Trump admin is dragging its feet on paying people the SNAP benefits they need.    Meanwhile they're buying Kristi Noem 2 new jets, bailing out Argentina, & building a ballroom.    They have the money. They just don't want working people to have dignity.

President Trump is refusing to use available funds to backfill the SNAP program & keep assistance going to millions of hungry children, seniors, & single parents. President Trump is using our most vulnerable neighbors as collateral. It's sick & it must end.

Doing the same thing over & over while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Republicans have been in charge for 10 months, & they've done nothing to address the rising costs of health care. At this point their words & empty promises mean nothing to me, I need to see action.

I was heartened to see such a strong turnout standing with our AAPI community at last week’s public safety forum. I stand with our AAPI community & am grateful that local leadership is taking this issue seriously & working with the community to stop these coordinated and racist attacks.

This shutdown is now days away from becoming the longest in history. With the continuing chaos in D.C. & worsening impacts locally, I will host another telephone town hall ON WEDNESDAY to hear from you, answer your questions, & share more about my work in D.C. & here at home. Fill out ⬇️ to join!
