    Keeping in my thoughts the two firefighters injured while fighting the Salmon Fire in Grant County. Across the state our firefighters and first responders are working long hours to keep Oregon safe as wildfire season rages on.

    My heart is with families who lost their homes this week in fires including the Lower Dry Creek Fire in Umatilla County and the Hoag Creek Fire in Gilliam County. Grateful to the firefighters and first responders working around the clock to keep Oregon communities safe!

    That was an embarrassing speech with no new info – just lies and rehashed conspiracies. It’s incumbent on ALL of us not to treat that like real news.

    The so-called SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill masquerading as an election security measure. Trump wants it because democracy is bad for him in the midst his catastrophic failures & abysmal approval ratings. Trump has used mail-in ballots & now he wants to pretend that's

    The Epstein Class must not escape justice. The Trump Admin. continues to break the law to shield abusers from accountability and deny justice to Epstein’s victims. I’m pushing a bill with @RepThomasMassie, @RepRoKhanna, @SenatorLujan, and @RepTeresaLF to crack down on the DOJ’s
