I’m signed on to legislation that would pay our troops during a shutdown. Why won’t Mike Johnson bring the House back to do something?

Virginia resident calls out Speaker Johnson on air:

As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show.

I spoke at a Steering & Policy Committee hearing where I shared #OR06 constituents Conni and Steve's stories.

If Republicans do not extend the premium tax credits, Americans like Conni and Steve will face devastating impacts to their wallets.

To my Republican colleagues: do the right thing.

I know how Republicans can help hardworking Americans.

✅ They can cancel their cuts to health care.
✅ Extend the premium tax credits.
✅ Lower costs for families.
✅ Save health care. Help Oregonians.
✅ Reopen the government.

Let's start there.

A las latinas se les paga solo 54 centavos por cada $1 pagado a los hombres blancos.

Como latina orgullosa, estoy luchando para aprobar la Ley de Equidad de Salarios para asegurar que cada mujer en la fuerza laboral tenga acceso a un salario justo e igual que merecen. (1/2)

Latinas are paid only 54 cents for every $1 paid to white men.

As a proud Latina, I’m fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure that every woman in the workforce has access to the fair and equal pay they deserve.

We need equal pay for #Trabajadoras everywhere. Listen to hear more ⬇️

Our federal firefighters keep serving, even during the Republicans’ government shutdown.

This #FirePreventionWeek, we must ensure that our firefighters have the resources they need to keep our communities safe from these deadly blazes. (1/2)

Wildfire season is upon us, and access to the right information is critical.

Make a plan; sign up for emergency alerts; and monitor wildfires, smoke, and air quality.

I met with furloughed AFGE & AFSCME government employees who are being impacted by the Republicans' shutdown.

These hardworking public servants deserve stability. I’ll keep supporting them during the middle of this Republican mess, and every day after.

Americans are too smart for Republican shenanigans.

I will not give up until you get the health care you need.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

It is crucial that the violence in Gaza and Israel comes to a full stop and that all hostages are returned safely. The U.S. must play a role toward a brokered peace for the Jewish and Palestinian people. We must work toward a world where everyone can live freely from war. (2/2)

Today marks the second anniversary of the tragic October 7th terrorist attacks in Israel. My thoughts continue to be with the victims and their loved ones. The hostages must be returned to their families. (1/2)

Oregon does not need nor want the National Guard.

President Trump's gross overreach of power shows that he believes he is above the Constitution.

I am glad that a federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order on the Trump Admin from sending the California National Guard to Portland.
