Republicans claim that gender affirming care causes ā€œirreversible psychological damage.ā€ You know what ACTUALLY causes ā€œirreversible psychological damageā€ to kids? Cutting $300 billion from nutrition assistance programs and ripping immigrant kids away from their parents.

Republicans are trying to screw over poor and working people so they can give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the richest 1%. Kicking 16 million Americans off health care for tax cuts for billionaires? HANDS OFF.

Private equity and corporate control in health care means higher costs and worse outcomes, so this is a great step in the right direction. Now it’s time to take federal action. Congress needs to pass my Health Over Wealth Act with Ed Markey. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/06/09/bil…

Trans people account for less than one half of 1% of the American population. But Republicans are mounting a cruel campaign of misinformation, fear-mongering, and bullying so they can hold on to power.

Suggested reading for all Republicans in Congress: Adding red tape to Medicaid is ineffective, costly, and takes health care away from people who need it. nytimes.com/2025/06/08/opi…

The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the sole power to authorize offensive military action. The American people do not want another forever war, and the Trump admin does not have the authority to pull us into one. I'm co-sponsoring this resolution to prevent that outcome.

These Medicaid cuts will be felt in EVERY single district — red, blue, and purple — as people lose health care and rural clinics are forced to close. HANDS OFF OUR MEDICAID.

Pardoning the January 6th insurrectionists, who assaulted Capitol Police and attacked our democracy, cost victims and taxpayers $1.3 BILLION. This administration is not serious about saving taxpayer money or upholding the rule of law in this country. cbsnews.com/news/trumps-pa…

Today, I visited the Denise Louie Education Center, an early learning center that provides support services for families and children. As Trump works to defund education across the country, I’m working to support places like Denise Louie and the good they do for our communities.

Trump’s cuts to science and research are causing talented researchers to leave the country. Losing these talented folks to other countries will hurt our ability to innovate and be on the frontlines of new discoveries. kuow.org/stories/washin…

While this outcome from the Supreme Court – which allows a Tennessee ban on gender affirming care to stand — is incredibly disappointing, I will never stop fighting for trans communities across this country. šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø cbsnews.com/news/supreme-c…

Happy Pride Month! As Trump continues to promote hate, here is my message to the LGBTQIA+ community: Your existence, your rights, your contributions, your struggles, and your resilience will never be erased. I will ALWAYS fight for and celebrate your rights, safety and dignity.

Trump's DHS is trying to limit Congressional oversight at ICE detention facilities. Not only is that unacceptable, it is unlawful. My full statement:

Gender affirming care saves lives. Alana and her daughter’s story is a testament to the transformative power of acceptance and appropriate medical care. Every child — trans or otherwise— deserves that.
