Yesterday, I joined neighbors for a peaceful walk through downtown Portland to make one thing clear: We don’t need troops in our streets.

Portland is vibrant. Portland is peaceful. Portland is powerful.

Trump is sending troops to Portland to distract & divide us. We won’t fall for it. We are united in protecting the city we love & its people.
Join my telephone town hall Tuesday to hear how we protect our community’s values & get through this together. RSVP in bio or stream at Dexter.House.Gov/Live.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.

We won. This is from my closing statement.

There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/A7EHJOuv

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:
Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc.

Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need.

We must make public colleges tuition free.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.
