I’m proud to have been a sponsor of Senate Bill (SB) 690 & 692, which were recently signed by Governor Kotek. This is policy that focuses on supports & resources for new parents to improve health outcomes & reduce maternal mortality & morbidity.

Thanks to Senator Reynolds for being the champion!

Fora Health Treatment & Recovery does fantastic work. They offer substance abuse & recovery treatment, mental health support and wrap around services to those in need.

I was happy to join them at their recent “Hope and Freedom Gala”.

Qatari Air Force Facility to Be Built in Idaho: Hegseth Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that the facility will host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots.

Imagine if Biden or Obama allowed a Middle Eastern country to build a military base in Idaho.

Heads would literally explode! 🤯

Good morning from the “Teaching With Purpose Conference!”

Donald Trump made big cuts to SNAP (Food Stamps). I have no doubt that this was done at least in part to limit acess to “free” food for undocumented people.

Rural grocery stores operate on tight budgets. When the cuts kick in, we will likely see a wave of grocery store closures in rural areas.

I got my first hospital job as a Registered Nurse 20 years ago…

Becoming a nurse was the best decision I ever made.

A millionaire is poor compared to a billionaire…

No one needs a billion dollars.

YouTube video by David Medina Debate With A Portland Democrat Rep GETS HEATED Over Attacks On ICE And Trump Sending In The Troops!

I recently sat down with conservative YouTuber David Medina and talked Portland and Trump.

Progressives must be willing to show up in conservative spaces if want many Americans to hear more than Fox News/right wing conservative talking points!

Check out our conversation…

I love Oregon. That’s all.

Thankful that the courts have put a check on Trump. I wish we had a president focused on uniting us, not dividing us.

Oregon protesters, please continue to keep any protests peaceful.

Another BEAUTIFUL October Day in Oregon!

The President of the United States should be offering a hand up to cities and states, not hindering their progress. Oregon is NO WAR ZONE.

I spent about an hour down at the ICE facility protest today. Right wing statements about the Portland “war zone” are greatly exaggerated!

We are Americans…. Whether we were born in this country or chose those country. WE CAN’T LET TRUMP DIVIDE US!
#portland #oregon #orpol #dumptrump #wethepeople

Because I keep hearing Republicans talk about how my city is a hell hole, I decided to go down to the ICE facility and see what things look like for myself. As you can see from the video, it’s not the war zone that Trump describes!

Oregon lawmakers react to conservative influencer arrest, threats of federal aid cuts Oregon lawmakers are reacting to the arrest of a conservative influencer and the threats of federal aid cuts that followed.

“State Rep. Travis Nelson, D-Portland, said the President should represent the entire United States, not just red or blue states. “It’s sad that we have a president who is vindictive enough to suspend funding to states that he did not win in the election," said Nelson.”

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
