Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

A typical Saturday in NE Portland with folx flocking to their favorite farmers’ market vendors for their weekly fix of locally grown produce. BTW, anyone with family or friends in the city knows all is well here, so spread the word not to believe the lies coming from the administration. Thx!❤️🙌❤️

Fall is cabbage season and that means it’s sauerkraut time! Picked up two good-sized heads, then shaved them into shreds, salted and packed them into my new crock. They’ll be weighted to submerge in their juices and sit in the basement to ferment. Can’t wait!🥰

🚨🚨The House reading clerk just read a letter from House Speaker Mike Johnson where he declares a 'District Work Period' from October 7 to October 13.
That would mean no votes in the House until mid-month.
