The rule of law has been upheld, not the whims of a wannabe king. Today a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the National Guard being deployed in Portland. This affirms what we’ve always known: Portland is home. Not a military target.

Speaker Mike Johnson sent House Republicans on vacation in September—and now Trump's shutdown is ruining your vacation. Flights are being canceled across the nation, including at PDX. It doesn’t have to be this way. Republicans need to get back to work and reopen the government

After I declared a hunger emergency and directed state teams to prepare, Oregon was ready when a federal court ordered the Trump Administration to release withheld SNAP funds. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Good news: SNAP benefits should be fully available for Oregonians today. If you are expecting a SNAP balance and don’t see one, call the ONE Customer Service Center at 800-699-9075. Learn more here:

House Democrats are fighting to save health care and protect SNAP. Because no one should ever have to worry about seeing a doctor or going hungry.

Schools should be safe havens, not training grounds for surviving government violence. Thank you PPS for putting our students and their safety first. If you see ICE in your neighborhood call the PIRC hotline (1-888-622-1510). Call my office (503-231-2300) if your friend or

This is mass murder on a scale we haven't seen in generations. Trump did this. Musk did this. The SCOTUS that allowed these cuts to congressionally mandated programs and an acquiescent @GOP did this. It's sickening.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi often reminded House members that our job title and description are the same: representative. Since 1987, Nancy Pelosi embodied that truth as a brilliant and accomplished representative for the people of San Francisco and for our nation.

House Democrats believe that in the richest country in the world, no one should go hungry. Trump clearly doesn't share that value.

Air traffic controllers have been working unpaid since Trump's shutdown began over a month ago. Now, the FAA is ordering a 10% reduction in flights coming to and from major airports. As a reminder: Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. It doesn't have to be

We’re in the longest government shutdown in American history because Republicans raised the cost of YOUR health care and are refusing to work with Democrats to fix it.

I met with 30+ nonprofit leaders who are caring for our communities’ needs in healthcare, housing, immigration and more. Their dedication to moving forward, no matter the political landscape, inspires me and gives me hope.

Portlanders have shown the world what it means to stand up and protect their community—with decisiveness, innovation, and courage. Our elected leaders would do well to bring that same Portland spirit to our most entrenched problems.

Oregonians keep proving that we know how to show up for one another. So thankful that the City of Gresham donated $10,000 to support hungry families during these tough times. https://t.co/sYdGkJZ3uZ

Trump spent the weekend partying with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago. Today he's proudly announcing he won't follow a court order to provide 42 million Americans food assistance. He doesn't care about you. You deserve better. If you need food resources visit:

In Oregon, over 750,000 people depend on SNAP benefits—210,000 of them are children. Trump is using food as a weapon against vulnerable families. I went to the Senate floor to demand full SNAP benefits be released. Republicans blocked me.
