This land belongs to all of us. It's not a war zone—it’s home. Trump can't take that from us.

Kristi Noem is in Portland today. She should see the real Portland—a city that’s peaceful and filled with people who care for one another. Instead of feeding Trump’s political theater, she needs to rein in the federal agents brutalizing peaceful protesters.

I just conducted unannounced oversight of the Northwest Detention Center, which serves my district, and what I witnessed was devastating. One woman, who has called this country home for 20 years, was detained just days before her wedding to a U.S. citizen. Another man, a legal permanent resident for 31 years, a proud member of the Machinists Union, and a father of three U.S. citizen children, is also being held in detention. Trump is detaining our neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones without guaranteed due process and no accountability. That’s not American; that’s authoritarianism. I will not back down from this fight.

I am in El Salvador because I will not stand by while our country is thrown into a constitutional crisis. This is a moment to act. I will not rest until due process is upheld for all.

There is an increase of federal agents in Portland. We did not ask for this. We do not need this. And we certainly will not be divided by this. We stand united in our values and reject this egregious abuse of power

Trump is an authoritarian trying to incite violence and chaos in our city. Portland sees this for what it is and we will not bend the knee. We are a peaceful, united city that takes care of one another. No matter what Trump tries to do, we will stay that way.

I didn’t spend 20 years caring for the sickest in our community to come to Congress and watch while Republicans decimate our healthcare system. I am holding the line for a government funding bill that protects healthcare. Our communities deserve nothing less.

We just returned from El Salvador, where we demanded Trump follow the 9-0 Supreme Court decision and uphold the rule of law. This isn’t just about one man. This is a constitutional crisis. My constituents are demanding action, and I won’t stop fighting.

I am grateful today a judge granted a restraining order to block the National Guard from being deployed in Portland. But Trump’s lawless provocation will continue. Our response is simple: stay calm and do not take the bait. I encourage everyone to continue exercising their right to peaceful protest, but for your safety, to do so away from the ICE building in SW Portland.

Important update! Judge Karin Immergut just issued a broader temporary restraining order that precludes any National Guard troops from being in Oregon for 14 days. We cannot rest. The President is abusing his power, attempting to militarize our cities. The power of the people must remain greater than the people in power. We need to show up in peaceful protest across this nation. Stay Loud!

Diana is seven years old. She belongs in a second-grade classroom—not in a prison with inhumane conditions. I’m headed to Dilley, Texas, right now to see if she’s okay.

Authoritarians rely on fear to divide us. Portland will not give them that. We won't be intimidated. We have prepared for this moment since Trump took office & we will meet it with every tool available: litigation, legislation & peaceful public pressure. Stay safe, stay peaceful & stay together

The rule of law has been upheld, not the whims of a wannabe king. Today a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against the National Guard being deployed in Portland. This affirms what we’ve always known: Portland is home. Not a military target.

I’m in Montgomery, Alabama, today to stand with my colleagues against the attack on representation spreading across this nation. The fight for our democracy starts in the South, but must be fought in every state across this nation. We will not give in. We will fight back.

Unionized Starbucks workers have been trying to negotiate a contract with Starbucks since 2023—it should not take that long. Every union worker deserves an ethical and fair contract.

Our immigration system is cruel, chaotic, and broken. In Dilley, I met dozens of families desperate for help because they have done nothing wrong and are suffering in prison while the system fails to function. These families, these children, are not a threat. It shouldn't take a chance encounter with a Member of Congress to have access to justice. I'm relentlessly fighting for better.
