A healthy ocean is critical to a healthy planet. Ocean health fuels economies, maintains international diplomacy, and keeps communities safe. I'm at #COP31 in Türkiye advocating for global action to protect the ocean. I’m honored to represent the United States in this fight.

This Native American Heritage Month, we honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples and Tribal Nations. Let’s celebrate Indigenous resilience and recommit to upholding Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.

During this #TransgenderAwarenessWeek and beyond, I stand with the trans people who are feeling left behind. Several measures across the country restricting youth sports access, health care, and more passed despite significant progressive wins. I keep this flag outside my DC office year-round so people know that, regardless of their identity, they have a place here. I will keep fighting for you and for equality for the ENTIRE LGBTQI+ community.

The RISE Act, which supports students with disabilities when they start college, has passed the Senate! I lead this legislation in the House, where it has long had bipartisan support. I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to get it passed before the end of this Congress.

School meal times let students refuel and refresh their growing brains, and learning is limited when kids don't have enough food or time to eat. The Healthy Meal Time Act would establish best practices for lunch timing and length, giving schools key guidance and resources to make the best decisions for their students.

Under Republican leadership, the Education and Workforce Committee has not held hearings this Congress on several issues affecting student mental health, including gun violence, housing, and food insecurity, and ICE raids. Next Congress our new majority will focus on issues that actually matter to students and their families.

Thank you to all of our veterans, past and present, for your bravery and dedication to the country and the Constitution. Happy Veterans Day!

Wishing a happy Diwali to all who celebrate! 🪔

The American people are counting on Congress to lower costs, raise wages, and stop corruption. I’m in this fight for a better future with my @Labor_Caucus colleagues and @AFLCIO President Liz Shuler. We have a lot to do next Congress. Let’s get to work!

I’m disappointed but not surprised that Republicans in Congress showed immense cowardice and dodged a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. The American people are demanding change and a better, safer future. I will continue to push for Hegseth’s impeachment.

I will vote to impeach Pete Hegseth because of his abhorrent, illegal, and unconstitutional actions. He has carelessly and continually put American lives at risk. It must stop now.

Public dollars belong in public schools. Having the majority means we’ll be able to defeat the administration’s voucher scheme--which is sending public funds to private schools.

I’m back in DC and excited for our new majority. There’s a lot we can do to help working families when the new Congress starts! 💪

The new White House Chief of staff is Stephen Miller? Outrageous. He’s a white nationalist who has already pushed regressive, dangerous, and harmful policies. The American people just said no to this in a big way but Donald Trump doesn’t care what you think. I’m ready to hold the Trump Administration accountable for their lawlessness and corruption.

I joined @RepSalinas to speak with leaders of the Reading Battalion at Southridge High School. These dedicated teachers, administrators, and volunteers help students improve their reading proficiency. I’m thankful for their hard work.

I have been sounding the alarm about what the lack of child care means to student parents. This is a deliberate policy choice by the Trump administration and it is directly affecting the ability of students to stay in school. Child care, not gilded ballrooms, will fuel education and the economy. washingtonpost.com/education…

At Sen. Wyden's health care forum, one constituent told us that her insurance premium will go up 400% in 2027. That’s HALF of her family's take home pay. She's a cancer survivor and needs continual care. This is unacceptable. Oregonians deserve better.

Oregonians know that hazelnuts and seafood are some of the state’s most popular and delicious products. Our growers and producers work tirelessly and bolster the local economy. I’m glad the USDA is making this investment.

Thank you to my friends at Centro Cultural for the opportunity to celebrate Latina leadership. We honored the legacy of the legendary Dolores Huerta, who helped pave the way for many incredible Latina leaders, and celebrated phenomenal leaders in the region.
