Lori Chavez-DeRemer failed to protect workers, jeopardized the Department of Labor's work to support the economy, drove down morale among agency staff, and abused federal government resources to serve her own whims. She should be held accountable for the damage that occurred on her watch.
Trump's Housing department is trying to pass a rule that would break up immigrant families and leave tens of thousands unhoused. I won't stand for it.
Congratulations to both teams. We are honored to have had you represent Oregon! 🎉

These students have an impressive level of knowledge about the Constitution, its history, and its application to current events.
The competition brings together young people from across the country to develop skills and test their knowledge.
Congratulations to the Constitution teams from Lincoln and Grant High Schools, who both placed in the top ten in the We the People National Finals! 🧵
The Paralympians and Olympians from Oregon represent the best of our state. I’m pleased to celebrate their hard work and dedication. Congratulations to all the athletes on their achievements!
Gutting research offices and barring federal researchers from accessing essential science data and funding sets us back as a country. This administration needs to recognize that isolationism suffocates US innovation and scientific leadership.
If RFK truly cared about our kid’s health and well-being, he would get the administration to keep ICE OUT of schools and child care centers and away from children.
I will not stop fighting for the hardworking Oregonians who just want to provide for themselves and their families.
Donald Trump is misleading the American people about the economy, but he cannot deny reality. People from every corner of NW Oregon have called my office because chaotic tariffs, rising premiums, and explosive gas prices are straining their pocketbooks. 🧵
Anti-science. Anti-vaccine. Anti-Health. RFK is dangerous for our nation’s children and most vulnerable. He should resign and let someone with real qualifications take his place.
Do you work in a humanities or social science field? Share below what you do and why we need more people in your field! Let's #TalkAboutHumanities and #TalkAboutSocialSciences
It is critical that we have quality education in the humanities and social sciences in our K-12 and higher education systems. These disciplines are essential for developing critical thinking skills, empathy, cultural competency, and more. 🧵
RFK would rather use taxpayer dollars to make vanity videos than invest in our nation's children. I demanded answers from him during today's @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov hearing.
WATCH LIVE: Secretary Kenny testifies before the House Committee on Education and Workforce. ⤵️
Since taking charge of HHS, he has recklessly undermined confidence in vaccines and public health institutions, and Americans are paying the price.

They just released the text of the bill and are expecting us to vote immediately without adequate time to study it and without holding a hearing. I’m voting hell no.
FISA is a national security program that, without proper guardrails, is prone to abuse and results in violations of privacy rights. The Republican majority is trying to push through a five-year extension in the middle of the night. 🧵
We are 48 days into Trump's illegal war against Iran and all but one of the House Republicans refused to vote for a War Powers Resolution that would bring this conflict to an end. We must act to stop this war to save lives and refocus on lowering costs for the American people.
It was great to be with Rep. Dexter at Street Roots. Street Roots is a nonprofit organization in Portland that publishes a weekly newspaper, teaches people experiencing homelessness how to create content for the paper, and provides them with real world job skills that can lead to independence.
Science should not be subject to political pressure. Federal research is a strategic asset that must not be manipulated to suit a political agenda.
A Columbia County resident sent this picture to me after filling up his truck in St. Helens, where gas is up to $5.30 a gallon and on the rise. This is NOT normal. Trump's chaotic policies are hurting Oregonians and Americans.
The event included meaningful workshops by students and for students and community members. This was a wonderful display of leadership in education and community engagement.
As a member of the Committee on Science and the Education Committee, I am thrilled that the students at Lincoln and Ida B. Wells High Schools planned and convened a Student Voices for Climate Justice Summit! 🧵
I had a wonderful time celebrating HomePlate Youth Services at their gala and highlighting the hope, support, and opportunity this organization brings to youth experiencing homelessness.
On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor and remember the six million Jews, and millions of other lives lost to the murderous Nazi regime. Today, let us hold space for both somber reflection, and a recommitment to the fight against antisemitism and hate.
REMINDER: The deadline to submit artwork for the Congressional Art Competition is 4/28 by 5:30pm. All high school students who live in Congressional District 1 are invited to participate. I look forward to seeing the artwork!

The climate crisis is a threat to humanity, and I will never give up on building a cleaner, safer future for the next generation and generation to come.
Even with Trump's attacks on clean energy, the U.S. reached a milestone in March when renewables made up the largest share of U.S. electricity for the first time in history.🧵
I am grateful that Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales are resigning from Congress. We must take every allegation of sexual assault and abuse seriously and hold those responsible accountable.
Now we should remove the convicted serial predator from the White House.
