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.

It’s time for my fall town hall meetings! I will be in Beaverton, St. Helens, and Astoria in October. Please bring your concerns, ideas, and questions. I hope you will join me.

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:

Republicans sent us home until November after working only three days this week. This is ridiculous.

My Transforming Education for the Future Act will open doors of opportunity, support students and teachers, and foster a well-rounded public education system.

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. 🧵

I stand with my Democratic colleagues in the fight for an affordable America. Trump’s reckless and costly war, cuts to food assistance, skyrocketing health care costs, and chaotic tariff policies are pushing families to the brink. 🧵

Programs like Head Start help make the future brighter for children and their families. But the Trump administration is trying to get rid of the high standards that make Head Start effective and successful. 🧵

What does "giving education back to the states" really mean, and what is the Trump admin trying to do to the Department of Education? Let's talk about it.

Many families are struggling to put food on the table, especially since the cuts in H.R. 1 (the Big Ugly Law). During #malnutritionawarenessweek, let’s focus on the federal programs that are effective in addressing malnutrition and hunger. 🧵

The Constitution makes clear that elections are run by states, so it’s not surprising that the Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to interfere with our vote by mail system. 🧵

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. 🧵

Thank you to the MS Society of Oregon for meeting with me and for your continued commitment and advocacy. MS rates are high in Oregon, and we need experts to be working toward prevention and treatment. I will continue to support increased research funding for this critical cause.

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.

Trump and Secretary McMahon are taking another step to dismantle the Department of Education by moving employees out of the department’s headquarters and scattering them to various offices in other agencies. 🧵

Happy Labor Day! Thank you to the firefighters of IAFF 1660 at Scappoose Fire and to all essential workers who are working hard today and every day to keep our communities safe. Spending Labor Day thanking front line workers is my favorite Labor Day tradition.

Happy Labor Day! Today we recognize the importance of the labor movement in protecting workers’ rights and safety and giving workers a voice on the job. Unions helped build the middle class, and I will keep fighting in Congress for policies that help workers and their families thrive.

In some places across the country, lawmakers are criminalizing homelessness. And now there is a proposal to construct for-profit detention-style facilities where unhoused people would be confined and forced to work. @frost.house.gov

Listen to the staff, teachers, and families. Gutting Head Start would hurt our children’s futures. I will do all I can to increase funding and preserve the evidence-based standards that make Head Start an effective program.

Head Start is a proven program that focuses on early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parental involvement. 🧵
