Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a prominent Palestinian doctor, has been detained for 18 months without charge or trial. Now, he’s reportedly in critical condition after being beaten by IDF soldiers.
We must put an end to the impunity and violations of U.S. and international law. We must defend our shared humanity. We must pass my Block the Bombs Act!
Kidnapped Gaza Doctor Faces ‘Life-Threatening Condition’ in Israeli Captivity
'This is the last time you’ll see me,' Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya told his lawyer. 'They brought me here to kill me.'

NEWS: My office is proud to participate in the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project!
The 250th anniversary of our nation's founding is an important time to ensure we are collecting and preserving the first-hand stories of veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much to protect our values and our freedom.
If you are a veteran or know someone who is, with a story that should be preserved, visit dexter.house.gov or contact my office directly to learn more.

Graham Platner should drop out immediately. These are credible, horrific allegations of sexual assault. I believe women. I will protect women. We should be able to expect all our elected leaders to do so as well.
Maine deserves the chance to elect someone who represents their values in the U.S. Senate. Platner must go.

I just joined Substack! If you’re interested in the inner workings of a physician turned Member of Congress, consider following me. I just posted my first article on the state of our country and where I think we’re headed as we celebrate our first 250 years. Check it out here: substack.com/home/post/p-205…

This has never been about safety—only cruelty and control. Our immigrant families deserve to be able to raise their kids without worrying about whether they’ll be disappeared by our government.
If you know of anyone detained, please call our office at (503) 231-2300. We are here to help.
Abolish ICE. Protect our immigrant families. Stay loud.

The corruption and deception committed by this administration is egregious. The American people deserve to know what their President is doing and where their taxpayer dollars are going.
As top Democrat on the Natural Resources Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, I won’t stop demanding answers.

Our hard-earned taxpayer dollars should not be used to terrorize and attack innocent people, children, their homes, and their schools.
Oregon has been clear: war is not the answer.
I agree. Today I voted YES to end hostilities in Lebanon. Stay loud.

If you are born in our country, you are a citizen. Try as he might, Trump can’t change that.
Stay loud.

This Supreme Court decision is another victory for special interests and the Epstein class of billionaires.
We CANNOT allow the highest bidder to decide our elections. Now is the time to fight back. We must be as organized, focused, and determined as those trying to buy our democracy.

Even Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court knows that birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Constitution.
The fight to defend immigrant rights from Trump's cruelty is not over, but today the Court upheld the law.
It's simple: if you're born in America, you're an American.

The SAVE Act isn't election security, it's voter suppression.
The in-person voter registration requirement and impossible red tape will block millions of women from voting.
Republicans are trying to jam it into the NDAA. We're a no.
BREAKING: House Republicans just advanced their voter suppression bill in the Rules Committee.
If the Rule passes tomorrow, the SAVE Act will automatically be added to the National Defense Authorization Act when it passes.
This bill will make it harder to register to vote, especially if you’re a woman, live in a rural community, serve in the military, or are a Tribal voter.
If you’re wealthy enough to have a passport, you’re fine. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have one. Under the SAVE Act, a REAL driver’s license in many states or other common forms of ID wouldn’t be enough to register.
Don’t call this a voter ID bill. A true voter ID law could accept a REAL ID driver’s license.
This isn’t about election security. It’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote.

His so-called "big yawn" is the most comprehensive housing legislation Congress has passed in over 30 years. Is it enough? Absolutely not, and yet it will make significant progress in making housing more affordable for millions of families across this country.
He is staggeringly out of touch with the American people.

The corruption of this administration is disgusting and must end. Taxpayers work hard for their money and should be able to trust that their hard-earned dollars are being used to benefit the people, not to enrich high-ranking government officials and their family members.

Today’s Supreme Court decision in Watson v. RNC is a win for Oregon voters. The ruling today means that legally cast ballots that arrive within 7 days of the election will still be counted and those voices will still be heard.

BIG WIN!
SCOTUS just upheld what Oregonians have long practiced: ballots postmarked by Election Day must be counted.
Today's decision upholds that states like Oregon can continue running our elections as we see fit—and as guaranteed by the Constitution.
Stay loud.

I just held my 50th town hall!
50 conversations with our community about the issues that matter most. It was special that my 50th town hall was about combating the climate crisis, one of my top priorities in Congress, and an issue close to home for Oregonians. Thank you for showing up—I will keep doing the same.

The Department of Education is essential to our public schools, kids, and their futures.
Ignoring Congress and dismantling it is illegal and egregious, and our kids deserve better. That’s why I stand with @RepBonamici in impeaching Education Sec McMahon.
