When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. @GovTinaKotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

Thank you to Gov. @TinaKotek and Rep. @BenBowman for signing Oregon HB 951 into law. This bill is critical to ensuring only doctors with their patients (and not private equity) are able to make healthcare decisions.

Congratulations to Oregon Future Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Emily McIntire and Rep. @BenBowman on your re-election to the Oregon state legislature! We're excited to continue working with you during the next legislative session. #orpol #orleg

We did our part, Oregon. Democrats will return to the Oregon State House with a strong majority. #orleg #orpol

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today: – Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them.

Listen to leaders from across the state (and across the aisle) who have come together to encourage you to vote! Take a moment to listen. #orpol

DNC airs new “Freedom” ad to kick off the Democratic Convention

Vice President @KamalaHarris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.

The argument coming from Republicans is Harris—who had served 13 years as DA + AG before 3.5 years in the Senate—was a DEI hire for Biden, while JD Vance—who wrote a bestseller, worked in venture capital briefly & has been in the Senate 18 months was picked because of his résumé.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Here’s my full statement:

An actual hero. This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

Political violence is terrifying. I know. I’m holding former President Trump, and all those affected by today’s indefensible act of violence in my heart. Political violence is un-American and is never acceptable—never.

Political violence is unacceptable. It has no place in our democracy. We are better than this. I hope former President Trump is safe and recovers fully.

Now would be a good time to listen to @NigelJaquiss tell the incredible story of how he broke the news that Neil Goldschmidt had sexually abused a young girl. I highly recommend it if you don't know or forgot the details of this shocking story. #orpol

House Bill 4130 seeks to shield Oregon from the rapid expansion of private equity and other large corporations into health care. https://t.co/kuYiHhnrVk

.@RepBenBowman has a bill to prevent investors taking over OR medical practices. Studies show that leads to higher costs, poorer outcomes. But big capital is fighting it. @RepBenBowman

The recent move by @ProvHealth to drop a provider-owned Oregon anesthesiology firm for a company backed by private equity is fueling concerns in health care circles that @BenBowman hopes to address in the upcoming #orleg session. @jakethomas2009 reports:

You learn very quickly that there is no handbook or rules to being First Lady. Technically, it’s not even an official position. And while there are spoken and unspoken expectations that provide some structure, the role is largely shaped by the passions and aspirations of the
