For weeks, Trump has been saying he's won the war. Clearly that's not the case. The American people should be able to trust that the president isn't lying to them about the war they are being asked to pay for and fight in.
I hope to see you at my town hall TODAY, Saturday, April 18 at 11 AM at the McDaniel High School Auditorium.
Americans deserve privacy AND safety from foreign actors. The Republicans now have two weeks to propose a bill that will actually protect Americans without sacrificing our civil liberties—and I won’t stop fighting to defend them.
In the middle of the night, Republicans tried to ram through a bill that would give the government more power to spy on Americans for FIVE YEARS.
I said Hell No!
Trump is fumbling nuclear negotiations with Iran.
As a reminder: Barack Obama already secured the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action—and it was working.
Then Trump ripped it up. This is just another embarrassment on the world stage.
Trump told you America First. Instead, he has put America last at every opportunity, including launching a war that has only put our troops at risk and raised costs for working families.
Today I’ll be voting for a War Powers Resolution to stop unauthorized hostilities in Iran. End the war NOW.
Accountability for the mishandling of the Epstein Files starts with Pam Bondi—we will not be deterred.
Pam Bondi refused to show up to testify before the Oversight Committee this week about the DOJ's cover-up of the Epstein files.
A subpoena isn’t a suggestion, it is a mandate. An order. Pam Bondi must testify under oath to the House Oversight Committee or be held in contempt of Congress.
The American people have been clear: NO WAR WITH IRAN. Senate Republicans caved to Trump again instead of listening to their constituents. It's shameful. In the House, I'll be voting to support a War Powers Resolution to end this unconstitutional war.
In my first year in Congress, I am fulfilling my promise to listen to my community and get tangible things done. I’m determined to keep building on that promise—I’m just getting started.
I was proud to present a $931,200 check to TriMet leadership after securing this funding to support TriMet in implementing their next-generation Transit Signal Priority program, which will result in faster buses for our neighbors.
We still have a long fight ahead, no question. But we are holding the line—refusing to hand over more funding to ICE and DHS—and the American people are continuing to stay loud in their opposition of Trump’s immigration policies.
Your voice will continue turning the tide. STAY LOUD!
The American people wanted action—for their representatives to stand up for due process—and that’s exactly what we did.
Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is home, free with his family.
That experience was formative for me at the beginning of my first term in office. It reinforced we must rise to the moment, and take courageous action. It emboldened my instinct to keep the pressure on and drive real outcomes.
🧵Nearly a year ago, I got on a plane to El Salvador to demand due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Right now, the federal government can buy Americans’ most sensitive data—including healthcare information—without a warrant. Congress must reject a clean reauthorization of FISA Section 702 and close the data broker loophole. I will be voting no.
Thank you to the remarkable leaders at David Douglas High School for hosting an immigration-focused town hall that created a safe space to share important stories and perspectives that I will carry forward with me in this work.
The only thing more powerful than hate is love.
Today marks two months since PDX TSA workers have received a normal paycheck because of the DHS shutdown.
Members of Congress need to negotiate, govern and keep Americans safe. STAY LOUD.
If you sexually assaulted someone, you should not be serving in Congress—[or as President]. Period.
As I’m headed back to DC, this is what I’m thinking about.
Street Roots provides community members an environment of growth, healing, and compassion—all while keeping us informed of the latest local news. It was inspiring to tour the new Street Roots office in Old Town. I am proud to be a partner in your work.
This 250-foot arch is a literal symbol of how Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies, all while working families pay more for everyday essentials like groceries and healthcare. YOU DESERVE BETTER.
Trump is co-opting America's 250th birthday to build a monument to himself—funded by YOU, the taxpayers.

Now it is our responsibility to ensure these women are heard, protected, and that accountability follows. Too often, abusive men in power count on silence to shield accountability. I will fight to end that.
Representative Eric Swalwell must resign from Congress immediately. If he does not, I will vote to expel him.
I stand with the brave women who came forward to share the abuse they endured at the hands of someone they should have been able to trust: their own boss and an elected representative.
The people of this nation should not have to wake every weekend to terrifying announcements from the President of the United States.
Trump is a madman who is making our country—& the entire world—less safe & less prosperous. Congress needs to be in DC to impeach & remove him immediately.
Congratulations to the Artemis II crew for safely concluding their 10-day mission around the moon and back! It’s incredible to see what mankind is capable of when we rely on and trust science, data, and research.
I’m honored to stand in firm solidarity with Moms Demand Action in their life-saving advocacy, and how we can work together to move the needle in protecting our families. Gun violence is an epidemic, and we must do more federally to stop it.
I volunteered with Moms Demand Action to help bring common-sense gun violence prevention laws to Oregon, before my own child was impacted by gun violence in school. The work these activists do for our community is critical and impactful at the local, state, and national levels.
