President Trump and GOP leaders are holding our government hostage by demanding higher health care costs for millions and more unchecked power for himself.

We deserve leaders that works for us, not for billionaires.

Cesar Chavez was a civil rights and labor leader who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.

We have better pay and working conditions today because of him. #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

Thank you to the democratic senators who stood with everyday people by voting NO. Too many others sided with billionaires instead of protecting our healthcare and they should be ashamed.

It’s time for our leaders to step up and protect people over profit. #GovtShutdown

Today we remember former President Jimmy Carter, who was a light of peace, democracy, and fighter for human rights.

His legacy reminds us: leadership grounded in integrity is vital for the success of our democracy.

Democrats in Congress are standing strong against Trump’s reckless demands. They refused to raise health care costs for millions or hand him unchecked power.

Thank you for putting people first — and proving our country has no kings.

Portland is a safe city and no one wants the military in their neighborhood.

Deploying federal troops against Americans is dangerous and unconstitutional. It must stop.
