Trump's war of choice has ALREADY cost us $5 billion. All while he's ripping health care and nutrition assistance away from millions of Americans.

Democrats brought a war powers resolution to the floor to rein in Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran.

Republicans failed to uphold the Constitution and stop Trump’s destruction. They failed the American people.

I’m a YES on the war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s warmongering.

Everyone in Congress should be.

I’m fighting in Congress to pass the War Powers resolution and rein in Trump’s warmongering.

The power to declare war belongs to Congressβ€”not to Trump. His strikes on Iran shred the Constitution and risk dragging us into an endless war.

Congress needs to vote on a War Powers Resolution NOW and rein in Trump’s warmongering.

With chaotic tariffs and Trumpflation, families are being stretched to the limit everywhere from the grocery store to the doctor’s office.

It’s the Golden Ages for the richest of the rich, and the Dark Ages for everyone else.

The state of the union under Trump: high costs, chaos, and corruption reign.

With Trump it’s always families lose, billionaires win.

I’m not attending the State of the Union. We can’t normalize Trump’s parade of lies and attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.

Trump is desperate to cling to power, and the Republican SAVE Act is one of the ways he wants to do it. HELL NO, we won’t let Trump seize control of our elections.

No one is above the lawβ€”it doesn’t matter how much money they have or how powerful their friends are.

We need justice for Epstein’s survivors and accountability for everyone involved in the abuse of children.

Trump would like the government he leads to pay him billions President Trump is asking the federal government for billions of dollars in damages, putting his own Justice Department on the spot and creating an unprecedented ethical morass.

OUTRAGEOUS: Trump is trying to put $10 billion in taxpayer funds into his own pocket. Hell no!

The Trump family has pocketed more than $4,000,000,000 from their crypto schemesβ€”using the office of the President to line their own pockets.

That’s why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Actβ€”we need to stop this grift in its tracks.

The Republican SAVE Act is nothing more than a blatant plot to deny millions of Americans their fundamental freedom to vote. I'm a NO.

Trump administration withdraws National Guard from Chicago, L.A., Portland The demobilization marked a muted retreat by President Donald Trump, who claimed the troops were needed to fight crime in those cities.

Oregon never wanted or needed this massive influx of National Guard members β€” this withdrawal is welcome news. And it happened because folks like you raised your voices. Your voice is such a powerful tool.

Folks in Oregon and around the country are being stretched to the absolute limit at the grocery store as corporate billionaires try to maximize their profits--and they're going to scary lengths to do it, surveilling folks in the aisles.

I'm fighting to end this sinister price gouging!

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that there are no kings in America. Not now, not ever.

I voted HELL NO on giving ICE and CBP a blank check to terrorize our communities. I'm working to protect communities in Oregon and around the country.

Fitting that Oregon's birthday falls on February 14thβ€”there's so much to love about our state. It's the honor of my life to represent this beautiful place and our wonderful communities in every corner of Oregon.

Epstein's victims deserve justice. We need all of the files releasedβ€”as the law requiresβ€”now.

Trump and Bondi are giving abusers a free pass. HELL NO.

HELL NO, we’re not.

Reminder: Trump and his family have made $4 BILLION by selling influence to line their own pockets.

So much of it has come from their crypto grifts--that's why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act, and why I'm fighting to get it passed.

I'm a HELL NO on providing ICE and CBP a blank check to terrorize our communities and harm and kill our friends and neighbors.

11.02.2026 00:08 πŸ‘ 333 πŸ” 52 πŸ’¬ 24 πŸ“Œ 5

I'm fighting like hell to make sure ALL the Epstein Files are released. We need transparency for the public, justice for victims, and accountability for everyone who abused children.

Oregon was 'next' target for immigration enforcement, NBC News reports "Oregon was next" according to an unnamed former official. While a Minnesota-like operation has not materialized, enforcement has increased.

HELL NO. We’ve seen the violence and fear ICE and CBP are sowing in communities in Minnesota, Oregon, and across the country. Our state doesn’t want or need an ICE surge and I’ll fight like hell to protect Oregonians from Trump’s wrath.

CORRUPTION ALERT: Trump and his family have raked in more than $4 BILLION, mostly from their crypto schemes.

I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to ban any elected official from using their influence to line their own pockets with this kind of griftβ€”I’m fighting to get it passed.

Our work continues to secure justice for survivors of Epstein’s depravity and accountability for all those who abused children. Everyone involved in this abuse must be held accountable.

RING THE ALARM BELLS: Trump is blatantly talking about seizing control of our elections.

Feds at Portland ICE facility again deploy chemical agents against protesters The federal response to Sunday protesters was not as immediately severe as the reaction Saturday.

Attacking our communitiesβ€”including childrenβ€”is absolutely unacceptable. Peaceful protest is our Constitutional right. Don’t take Trump’s bait.

ICE out of Oregon.

I voted NO on more funding for ICE and CBP to terrorize our communities.

We need real accountability and real protection, and we need that now.
