15 years ago, six people were tragically killed and Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was nearly assassinated in Tucson, Arizona.

Today, we remember those lost and honor the victims by condemning all political violence.

House Democrats forced a vote on ACA tax credits over Speaker Johnson’s opposition. You can count on my vote to extend them.

I call on my Republican colleagues to do the same so we can get this bill to the Senate ASAP.

American families can’t afford to wait.

Last Congress, @salinas.house.gov was a leader in opposing Republicans' anti-LGBTQI+ State Department & Foreign Operations appropriations bill for FY25.

After ripping Republicans' attacks from the floor—she made the motion to send the bill back to committee.

Early last year, @salinas.house.gov called out the GOP’s trans sports ban legislation for what it was: an attack on ALL girls that would lead to harassment of girls who grow faster, play harder, or are simply more talented.

Bans & inspections don’t work—but they do traumatize.

When Trump shut down 988's specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis, @salinas.house.gov led a call to the House Appropriations Committee to maintain funding for these services and spoke at a press conference demanding they be restored.

Americans across the country, including some of our neighbors, will pay double or triple their health care costs because Republicans refused to extend cost-saving ACA tax credits.

Republicans have the power to reverse this to save millions of Americans money.

Oregon has made vital progress expanding substance use treatment — but those advancements are now being undermined by the Trump Administration's senseless cuts.

We cannot let their cruelty deny those in need the help they deserve.

❌ Prices are up from the grocery store to health care
❌ Families are struggling to make ends meet
❌ Trump's tariffs are still causing chaos

Affordability was never a priority for President Trump and his Administration. They lied.

Millions of Americans are facing higher health care premiums because Republicans let ACA tax credits expire.

This week, the House can vote to lower costs — or keep letting families pay more.

There’s a lot going on in the world that’s important. And that includes our work on the Epstein files.

A sad reality for far too many hardworking families. Republicans have the choice to reverse these harmful, soaring health care costs. The ball is in their court.
“The cost of the premium is almost as much as my mortgage.”

People shouldn’t have to decide between keeping their home or affording health care.

Thanks to Republicans, this is the 2026 reality of health care in America. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The affordability crisis isn’t new, but President Trump has only poured fuel on the fire — from his disastrous tariff policies to his refusal to protect health care.

He’s focused on distractions while Democrats are focused on solutions.
