ICE and CBP need to be held accountable. After wrapping up this oversight visit at the Macadam ICE facility, it affirmed the lack of due process and the need for accountability. I will keep fighting for our neighbors. Stay loud. Abolish ICE.

Our justice system is not to be treated as a spectacle. Our Secretary of Defense is moving forward with livestreaming someone’s execution by firing squad. Let me be clear: this is horrific and dystopian. Hegseth and the Pentagon must reverse course immediately.

I’m conducting oversight at the Macadam ICE facility today. Every individual in this country deserves due process and the right to an attorney. After reports of people not being able to access their lawyer, I’m here for answers. Stay tuned. Stay loud.

After 265 uninterrupted days at sea, the USS Abraham Lincoln’s crew is home. Welcome back, sailors.

Food shortages and mental health struggles demand answers. The Trump administration must answer for this war’s toll on our servicemembers and their families.

Stay loud. apnews.com/article/uss-...

Our community is full of young people dedicated to making our country a better place. It was an honor to meet and swear in the Confluence Environmental Center’s newest cohort of AmeriCorps members. I am proud to stand with them and thank them for their dedication to service and our community.

Last Saturday, I heard directly from Oregonians and local leaders. Your needs and concerns guide me in Congress, and I am always grateful for the chance to connect. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Stay loud.

@repdexteror.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 2:28 PM

We discussed public safety, parks, support for local businesses, recreation facilities for youth and how we can make life better for Oregon families. I am grateful to be working together.

The key to government truly delivering for working families is close local, state and federal partnership. I am grateful to have had time with Mayor Walker of Sandy and Mayor Rios-Campos of Wood Village last week.

Oregon's next generation is bright, eager, and ready to lead. As your representative in Congress, I am working to leave you a more peaceful and prosperous world. Thank you to all the youth who shared their voice last Saturday! Keep showing up, and I'll do the same. Stay loud.

At Mt. Hood Community College Head Start, I saw firsthand how they are caring for Oregon families and heard more about what's standing in the way of getting kids the care they need. Stay loud.

@repdexteror.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 6:43 PM

I deeply understand the importance of early childhood education and family support services that meet the needs of working families.

Not only is today October 3rd (Mean Girls Day) it is the day of my town hall in Portland!

Tell me what's on your mind today, at 3:30 pm, at Grant High School Auditorium, 2245 NE 36th Ave. Your voice is my anchor in Congress. I hope to see you there. #NoMeanGirlsAllowed

I visited Franklin and Roosevelt High Schools to hear from our young people. It's incredible to be in a classroom with students making their voices heard. If you are a high schooler in my district interested in policymaking, consider applying to my Youth Advisory Council in my bio. Stay loud.

Survivors deserve to be heard, supported and protected. Those responsible must be held accountable.

I applaud @newyorkstateag.bsky.social for serving as special prosecutor and taking over the investigation. There must be a full investigation and justice for the survivor. Stay loud.

Checking if your friends are registered to vote is easy! Just text them the link sos.oregon.gov to make sure they show up and show out in November. Stay loud.

If you are an immigrant legally residing in the U.S., your Medicaid coverage may change. To see possible changes, click here: www.oregon.gov/oha/hsd/ohp/...

ATTENTION: Because of Republicans’ One Big Ugly Law, Medicaid and SNAP were drastically cut. This law will be implemented in stages over the next few years, and today there are some changes to Medicaid and SNAP benefits that may impact you. ⬇️
