I’m proud to join the Congressional Equality Caucus and send a clear message to LGBTQI+ Oregonians: you are seen, you are valued, and I will fight every day to defend your right to live and love freely. Trump has continually relied on cruel, anti-LGBTQI+ fear mongering tactics to keep the national conversation away from his inability to get things done. Oregonians won’t be fooled, we see this for what it is. We will not let hate win.

Wonderful morning at the grand reopening of the historic North Portland Library. Public libraries are the heart of thriving communities. I can’t wait to see our neighbors there again soon.

Trump has unleashed chaos at the National Institutes of Health, shuttered USAID, and stripped countless government websites of valuable public health information. As one of six Democratic physicians in Congress, I will fight back with every tool at my disposal.

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, is running our country. And every House Republican is okay with that. Well, I’m not. I will fight his takeover with everything I’ve got.

Hours after introducing a bill to protect federal employees against retaliation from Elon Musk, I rallied behind our federal workers at the Department of Labor. These public servants are at the forefront of the fight for our democracy. We must protect them.

Thank you for your leadership.
We’re in the middle of an authoritarian administrative coup. I’ll vote against every Trump nominee and every motion to proceed to a bill until Trump’s Constitutional crisis is stopped. This is a moment for every American to stand up, speak up, and get involved.

Unrestricted access to contraception must be a non-negotiable right. Today, I introduced the Right to Contraception Act with the @ReproCaucus to codify that right in law at a time when reproductive freedom is under assault.

But we can’t stop here. This multi-front battle will be fought in the courts, the halls of Congress, and the public sphere. Please know that I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to elevate your voices. Please keep calling.

I am in Congress to ensure that every community can thrive. That starts by recognizing our nation’s shared history and how it continues to shape our communities today. This Black History Month, we must all recommit to the unending work to fight for freedom and justice for all.
