It was great to connect with Oregon AFSCME members, who do important work in behavioral health, state government, and more.

Donald Trump and Linda McMahon are now excluding LGBTQI+ students from Title IX protections. This is cruel and dangerous.

Here he goes again. Donald Trump is trying to cancel funding Congress approved, including millions of dollars for migrant students and international education programs. That's illegal.

This grant funding is long overdue for Columbia Memorial Hospital and everyone who lives on or visits the Oregon Coast. The BRIC grant for this lifesaving vertical evacuation structure should never have been jeopardized, and we’ve fought long and hard for it to be released.

Some Oregonians have up to seen 5x increases on their student loan repayment plans. Oregonians deserve better than to struggle through massive student debt loans. Republicans have made it harder for people to pay off loans since their Big Ugly Bill took effect.

I had a great time back at the Adelante Mujeres Farmers Market in Forest Grove! 🥕 This market is part of the community and it was a joy - and delicious - to connect with local farmers and vendors.

I chose to focus on a real problem: the SAVE plan is ending, and more than 7 million student loan borrowers may be affected. Students who still have remaining balances will see their rates increase up to five times what they were paying under the SAVE plan. This is unacceptable.

Scientists need to be able to conduct research without political interference. Trump's policy to defund and restrict emerging bioscience leaves us less prepared to confront the next public health crisis and is driving researchers to other countries. @sciencedems.bsky.social

When a tsunami hits, every second matters when evacuating to higher ground. Advances in data modeling can improve evacuation routes, provide more warning time, and help design the buildings coastal Oregon needs to save lives.

Having access to affordable and convenient places to take garbage, recycling, and household toxics keeps our communities cleaner and increases recycling. Thank you Metro Councilor Christine Lewis and the team at the Metro Transfer Station for all you do.

@repbonamici.bsky.social is right. We need meaningful, enforceable federal rules governing artificial intelligence in schools that protects students, educators and families! 👏👏

AI is already shaping how students learn and how people earn a living, but federal rules and regulations to protect students, support workers, and enforce ethical standards do not exist. 🧵

Innovations in disaster mitigation can save lives, but emergency responders and communities in crisis need data they can actually use. Preventing the next wildfire and keeping Oregonians safe requires coordination and clear information at every level.

Artificial intelligence can improve disaster preparedness and response, but we need clear rules and safeguards so powerful models don't cause the next disaster. @sciencedems.bsky.social

Public schools should prepare students to be creative, critical thinkers who will succeed regardless of what path they take in life. But right now students and schools are facing new and complicated challenges, including digital distraction and generative AI.

The Trump administration’s new interpretation of the “public charge” rule will take effect today. This rule will add to the fear immigrant families are experiencing because of Trump’s cruel policies. Here’s what you need to know:

It's been one year since Trump and McMahon started their campaign of mass layoffs and illegal dismantling the Department of Education. They have consistently attacked public education, which is designed to serve all students, and instead push for privatization. 🧵

It has been 25 years since the tragic events of September 11th, but I remember it like it was yesterday. We asked ourselves why. We mourned and cried and hung up our American flags. I doubt that we will ever fully recover, but we will never forget. 🧵

Vertical evacuation structures save lives when there is a tsunami. Visiting one at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport made me even more committed to fight for FEMA to release the grant to Columbia Memorial Hospital so they can complete the vertical evacuation structure in Astoria.
