Trump is letting Wall Street firms pay up to $100,000 a month for faster access to his Truth Social posts. That includes announcements that move markets. This pay-to-play scheme reeks of corruption. Wealthy traders should not get an advantage over working Americans.

Boone Bridge’s age and seismic risks make replacement planning urgent. I visited this critical transportation link near Wilsonville to tour the project and support efforts to keep the I-5 corridor safe and reliable. I’m fighting for more federal support to keep progress moving.

Republicans kicked 8 million people off health care. Now we're seeing the consequences of their actions in real time.

Caring for Your Mental Health
Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others.

I'm working to secure federal funding for the Boone Bridge to ensure it's safe & reliable for the thousands of vehicles that depend on it every day. Investing in our roads & bridges means safer communities & stronger economies — I'll make sure our transportation infrastructure is built to last.
Uterine fibroids affect up to 80% of women by age 50, yet the condition remains under-researched. That’s why I’m co-sponsoring legislation to increase research and improve government data, public awareness, and provider education — so patients get better care.
Fibroids: More Common than You Think | Center for Women's Health | OHSU
The majority of women have fibroids by their late forties. This seems surprising, but the key is that most women never need treatment.

On the anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid’s founding, I stopped by Marjorie Stewart Senior Community Center in Sherwood to connect with seniors, talk about how important these programs are, answer questions, and help them with casework! (1/2)
Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. They have every opportunity to lower costs for working families. But they refuse. Instead, they’re letting the American people get crushed by rising costs.
Happy National Intern Day! Thank you to all my wonderful interns who have dedicated their summer to working hard for our communities. I look forward to seeing all that you accomplish! (1/2)
Republicans promised a “golden age for small businesses,” but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Today, on the anniversary of the Small Business Administration's founding, I want to call out how much harm Trump’s tariffs and war have caused. (1/2)

On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law, expanding access to healthcare for millions of Americans. These programs are lifelines for our communities, and House Democrats are fighting to protect them.
Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law on this day in 1965. For 61 years, they’ve helped millions get essential care. But now these protections are under attack. Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill enacted the largest cuts to healthcare in U.S. history. (1/2)
Happy birthday, NASA! As a member of House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, I am committed to investing in science and space exploration so that NASA can continue to inspire for generations to come! 🚀 (1/2)
History will remember Trump for higher costs and having no desire to lower them.

Does Trump care that gas prices are high? He’ll tell you himself: NO!

This is horrifying. Pretending to be an ICE agent to terrorize our neighbors is cruel, disgusting, and dangerous. These individuals must be held fully accountable. ICE’s lawlessness and secrecy lets this violence flourish.
Armed men posing as ICE agents detained, assaulted person after fake traffic stop, police say
Oregon State Police officials are seeking information after a person was detained and assault by three men posing as federal agents.

Your food isn't just more expensive, it's also less safe. Under Trump, FDA staffing is down 20%, and the CDC has lost 25% of its workforce. This is not a coincidence.
