Last night Trump lied to working Americans. He serves billionaires and the Epstein-class while survivors are still waiting for justice and families are struggling. That’s exactly why I’m in this fight for healthcare, for accountability, and for your future.

I just filed for re-election. There is no time to waste. The people of Oregon’s Third District deserve a representative who doesn’t just listen to their concernsβ€”but turns concerns into action. I’m grateful that every single day, I get to wake up and do just that.

Federal immigration agents are unhinged and are operating without consequences and have murdered two citizens in cold blood. The administration is lying and covering up the truth. This is not making our communities safer, they are traumatizing and trying to control us.

On MLK Day, I’m reflecting on Dr. King’s vision of a world where every person lives with dignity and purpose. I was honored to join the Urban League of Portland to celebrate 80 years of advancing that vision, and I am proud to be their partner in this work.

Impeach Kristi Noem. Defund ICE. Those are critical instructions I take back to DC after a weekend in communityβ€”mourning the harm inflicted on our home by lawless federal agents. My resolve to fight for OR-03 has never been stronger. We take care of us.

From working to tackle Oregon’s housing crisis to standing firm against the Trump regime’s barrage of cruelty, Governor Kotek has led with courage and conviction. I’m proud to endorse her as she continues fighting for Oregon’s families.

Happy Election Day! Voting is a fundamental part of a strong Democracy and watching millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Oregonians exercise that right should remind us all that our Democracy is worth continuing to fight for.

Heck yeah! Jeff Merkley is running for re-election, and Oregon couldn’t ask for a stronger voice in the Senate. He’s fearless in the fight for working people and unafraid to take on the powerful. I’m proud to stand with him and damn excited to see him back on the ballot.

A quote from Rep. Maxine Dexter regarding the Republican’s Big Ugly Bill, β€œPeople will be forced to choose between buying groceries or filling a prescription, between paying rent or a copay, between keeping the lights on or getting preventive care.”

History won’t forget this big, ugly Republican betrayal β€” nor will the families forced to live with its consequences.

I am using every single tool at my disposal to protect our rights. I will never back down. But I need your help, because public pressure is our most powerful tool. Share online how Trump is impacting you and your community. Let’s start a movement that can’t be ignored.

While billionaires buy influence and extremists push fear, we build community. Block by block. That’s real power.

Republicans are launching an all-out attack on Medicaid, risking millions of lives. As 1 of just 6 Democratic doctors in Congress, I’m fighting back. But I need you. My friend @aoc.bsky.social made it easy to call your Reps and speak up before they slash this lifeline.

Today, Portland sent a clear message:

We won’t let Trump, Musk, and their enablers drag us into authoritarianism β€” or sell out our future to oligarchs.

I’m proud to stand in this fight β€” in the streets and in Congress β€” to defend our democracy and put working people first.

We are not backing down

Trump and his billionaire buddies like Elon Musk won't buy our democracy or silence our voices.

Oregon is taking to the streets. Hands off our bodies. Hands off our democracy.

Join me at the Hands Off mass mobilization on April 5 at 10:30AM at the East Portland Post Office on 103rd and Stark.

People will be assaulted and killed and the executive branch will be at fault. This is absolutely unacceptable and should be stopped by the courts.
