It is egregious and ironic that ICE is “fearful” of anti-ICE protesters while they are terrorizing our community members. I refuse to stand by. I will continue demanding accountability and justice for those who have been disappeared and hurt by this rogue institution. Abolish ICE. Stay loud.

It is an honor to be able to help elevate and support the hopes and dreams of youth leaders in my district. Last year, I gathered with students and their families whom I proudly nominated to the U.S. military service academies.

Wherever you are tonight, please join us in a moment of silence for everyone affected by the tragic school shooting in Bend, Oregon. Our hearts are with the Bend community. Let’s be there for each other. Stay loud.

This is a devastating day for Oregon. My heart is with the Bend community, and every family who is being impacted by this tragic, senseless shooting. Schools should be places of learning, friendship and joy. It is incumbent on me, and every lawmaker, to do everything we can to ensure our kids are safe. opb.org/article/2026/10/15/b…

As we near the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to thank our Hispanic community members for being part of Oregon’s cultural fabric and for making our state a better place. From music to food to our economy—our home would not be the same without your care and contributions. As this administration wages terror on our neighbors, I am committed to protecting every family in my district and their right to due process. Stay loud.

What an ignorant take. “Bottom line,” Trump doesn’t care about you or about making gas, food, or anything more affordable—and he never will. You deserve a federal government that actually works for you, and I’m fighting for it.

The President’s abuse of power and weaponization of federal law enforcement against Representative Omar is disgusting and diminishes protections for all. This pre-dawn raid, so close to the election, is a political attack that I condemn in the strongest possible terms.
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Indigenous communities have been stewards of Oregon’s lands and waters since time immemorial. Honoring that legacy means confronting the harms of settler colonialism and centering their insights as we build our future. Every Oregonian deserves a more just and equitable place to call home. Stay loud.

ICE and CBP need to be held accountable. After wrapping up this oversight visit at the Macadam ICE facility, it affirmed the lack of due process and the need for accountability. I will keep fighting for our neighbors. Stay loud. Abolish ICE.

Our justice system is not to be treated as a spectacle. Our Secretary of Defense is moving forward with livestreaming someone’s execution by firing squad. Let me be clear: this is horrific and dystopian. Hegseth and the Pentagon must reverse course immediately. apnews.com/article/fort-hood…

I’m conducting oversight at the Macadam ICE facility today. Every individual in this country deserves due process and the right to an attorney. After reports of people not being able to access their lawyer, I’m here for answers. Stay tuned. Stay loud.

After 265 uninterrupted days at sea, the USS Abraham Lincoln’s crew is home. Welcome back, sailors. Food shortages and mental health struggles demand answers. The Trump administration must answer for this war’s toll on our servicemembers and their families. Stay loud. apnews.com/article/uss-linco…

Our community is full of young people dedicated to making our country a better place. It was an honor to meet and swear in the Confluence Environmental Center’s newest cohort of AmeriCorps members. I am proud to stand with them and thank them for their dedication to service and our community.

It’s been three years since Hamas brutally murdered over 1200 people and took 250 hostage, in Israel.    This inexcusable loss continues to weigh heavily on our community. As does the ongoing genocide in Gaza. One does not and cannot excuse the other.   We must condemn violence, and we must do so in all of its forms. All of us need to stand together in opposition to hate and violence across the globe.

Last Saturday, I heard directly from Oregonians and local leaders. Your needs and concerns guide me in Congress, and I am always grateful for the chance to connect. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Stay loud.

Casually suggesting another country take out a U.S. city is absurd, dystopian, and cruel. He must be impeached.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
