Donald Trumpβs war with Iran is costing nearly $1 billion a day. That taxpayer money, along with the billions of dollars that went to ICE, should be redirected to health care, education, housing, and economic development.
Breaking news: AG Rayfield wins court order requiring billions in funding for disaster mitigation to be restored
βThe court has now said twice that the Trump administration canβt simply walk away from this program, and todayβs order puts real teeth behind that. This is the work that happens before the flood waters rise, or the fire season starts, and Oregon communities deserve the preparation and the projects they were promised.β
BREAKING NEWS: We just won a court order requiring the Trump administration to restore billions in funding for disaster mitigation projects β including in Medford, Grants Pass, and Clatsop County. #orpol #breakingnews
Her community wants her home. Her kids and her ailing husband need her home. Please share her story. Raise your voices. We won't stop until Maria is reunited with her family - where she belongs.
No family should have to experience this loss and trauma. Maria Trinidad Loya Medina is not a criminal; she is a mother who was trying to pick up socks for her son when she was surrounded by ICE agents and taken hundreds of miles away from her family. π§΅

I demand a full and transparent investigation into her inhumane directives that resulted in death, injury, and trauma to children and families.
Itβs about time. Secretary Noem's departure does not absolve her of the crimes and human rights violations she committed during her disastrous time at the Department of Homeland Security.π§΅
I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and my constituents have told me overwhelmingly that they do not want the United States engaged in another war. I will support the War Powers Resolution, H. Con. Res. 38, to make clear that only Congress has the power to declare war.
And now the war is spreading across an already fragile Middle East, with enormous loss of life, unknown consequences, and no end plan in sight. And the administration has refused to answer questions about how much this will cost in lives and dollars.
The murderous Iranian regime caused tremendous harm to the people of Iran for decades, including the recent murder of protesters. But the solution is not to start a war. Trump and his administration have offered conflicting reasons for this war, but none constitute an imminent threat to our nation.
I grew up with a poster in our home that said, βWar is not healthy for children and other living things.β This is a value I hold as a policymaker.
For years, I have supported negotiations with our allies to engage in diplomatic solutions to counter threats from Iran. π§΅
Iβm wishing everyone a safe and happy Holi. May your spring be colorful and full of love.
Iβm pleased to introduce the Specialty CROP Act to improve the USDAβs existing specialty crops trade report to better improve the competitiveness of U.S. specialty crops exports.
The specialty crops are a vital part of Oregonβs economy. Unfortunately tariffs, market uncertainty, and other global factors have hit specialty crop growers hard. π§΅
