The Pentagon’s own initial findings conclude that the U.S. bombed the Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School – so I’m glad the House Armed Services Committee already passed my provision to publish an unclassified version of the investigation so we don’t have a full-blown cover-up.

Wildland firefighters run toward fire as communities at risk are told to run away. They breathe smoke and soot day in and day out during fire season—without the proper equipment to protect their lungs. They deserve protection. I'm working on legislation to give our wildland

Today marks 11 years since Obergefell v. Hodges—and love won. It affirmed what Oregonians know to be true: that everyone deserves to live and love as their most authentic selves. We celebrate that right today and rededicate ourselves to protecting it always. We are not going

Special congrats to Laurel, a rising sophomore from Grant High School, for winning the 2026 Congressional Art Competition for our district. Her painting perfectly embodies our community—fighting for what’s right and staying loud. I'm honored to have her art representing Oregon's

The Supreme Court just gave Trump a green light to deport people who followed every rule. TPS holders registered with the government. Passed background checks. Worked legally. Paid taxes. Raised their families here and contributed to their communities. Congress must

The Supreme Court is letting Trump ignore laws set by Congress and send hardworking, legal immigrants into imminent danger in Haiti, Syria, and other violent countries. It’s horrific. This decision is a disaster for the rule of law and a disaster for thousands of families.

TPS holders work here, pay taxes here, and fled unsafe countries for a chance to participate in the American Dream. Today, #SCOTUS said none of that matters. Now, more than 350,000 people will live in fear as they wait to be sent back to the dangers they fled. No matter

Another day, another barrier to citizenship. The Trump regime wants to raise citizenship application fees and make legal immigration more difficult, putting the American dream further out of reach for many families. This latest proposal reeks of Stephen Miller's racist,
Trump plan would increase citizenship application fee by $570

Zane’s passing is a huge loss for Oregon and blow to the kind of local journalism that keeps communities informed and engaged. He leaves behind a legacy of thoughtful, meticulous reporting. My thoughts are with his loved ones and colleagues in the wake of this sad news.

My friend and fellow first-term lawmaker @RepLaMonica is facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight and demanding answers from ICE. She is in court this week fighting back against charges that Trump brought forward to silence her. I stand with her today and every day.

Since SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, more than 20 states have banned or restricted access to abortion—leaving millions of women with no legal right to make decisions about their own bodies. That is a moral failure. I won’t stop fighting until every person in this country has
