The violations & corruption by the Trump White House need to be investigated/prosecuted. Voters must #speakup The 2027 Congress must pass legislation to codify women and voting rights; address Citizens United; and remove FISA loopholes. OUR federal taxes need to come back to us in services‼️

Today in Tacoma, we were checking on community members to ensure they have legal representation, healthcare and access to food and information. If you know someone who has been picked up by ICE or have questions about immigration status, reach out to my office at (541) 465-6732 or hoyle.house.gov

Camp Pendleton in San Diego is a military base that is important to national security. Sadly, this 2026 White House is so incompetent that it just undermined its safety. Meanwhile, this Republican majority Congress stays silent and enables this sitting duck US President. Shameful! Unacceptable!
