Happy National Public Lands Day! From sweeping forests to neighborhood green spaces, our public lands shape our communities and reflect our national heritage. As the Trump Administration threatens these treasures, don’t forget: they belong to all of us, and protecting them is our shared responsibility.

📞 Good news call! The $1 MILLION I secured for Oregon Tech’s quantum research program is now being dispensed. Investing in students, research, and innovation means more opportunities for Oregonians and a stronger economy.

Americans wagered more than $166 BILLION on sports betting last year — roughly the size of Morocco’s entire economy. But support for those struggling with problem gambling hasn’t kept pace. I joined the National Council on Problem Gambling to discuss my bill to expand prevention, treatment, and recovery services.

For 30 years, the Latino Network has shown the power of community-led change. During Hispanic Heritage Month, I was proud to celebrate their anniversary and honor their work uplifting our Latino youth and families.

Donald Trump is a weak president who doesn’t want you to know about his failing economy and staggering corruption. This is straight out of an authoritarian playbook.
A POLITICO reporter was denied access to the White House and his press credentials confiscated after a judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately restore access for news organizations that President Donald Trump banned from the complex last week. politi.co/4dU7YX4

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to recognize the extraordinary contributions that Latinos have made to our country. But we also need to talk about how the Trump Administration is treating our community.

While folks struggle with the cost of living, Trump is wasting nearly $2 billion on vanity projects. Use the tool below to see what that money could mean for students, teachers, veterans, firefighters, families, and more — and decide for yourself where your tax dollars should be going. hassan.senate.gov/trumpvanit…

Latinos battling mental health issues are less likely to receive treatment. That is why I introduced a bill to equip them with the tools to address their mental health. I will not stop working until everyone can access the culturally relevant, affordable, timely mental health care they deserve.
Why is cultural competency important?

I met with Helle Ruddenklau at her farm in #Amity. I promised her that I'd keep fighting to level the playing field for family operations just like hers. People like the Ruddenklaus keep our economy working. Trump's policies have hurt far too many of our farmers, producers, and ranchers.

Donald Trump and Republicans made two big campaign promises: ❌ lower costs ❌ no new wars They lied, and families are feeling the consequences.

You don't need the perfect words to support someone who's struggling. Sometimes, just being there is enough. Start by listening without judgment, offer your support, and remind them that help is available through 988.

People don’t stop getting sick when Republicans rip health care away from them. A lot of people will avoid care, be forced to go to emergency rooms, and see their medical bills pile up – all while those at the top keep cashing in. Republicans kicking people off their health care is not an accident. It's part of their health care plan.

Around 7.4 million Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer's — and they are depending on federal research and groundbreaking innovation to find a cure. Sadly, Trump is cutting research funding that could unlock new treatments to put a stop to this deadly disease. #WorldAlzheimersMonth 💜 theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Geothermal energy delivers the affordable, reliable, and clean energy that America needs. As the U.S. consumes more energy, geothermal deserves a seat at the table. 📢 Geothermal can: ✅ Power our homes ✅ Cut costs for families ✅ Create good jobs I’m excited to launch and co-chair the brand-new, bipartisan Geothermal Caucus with @RepAuchincloss, @RepNickBegich, and @RepJeffHurd to build support for geothermal energy and help chart the future of this critical American industry. salinas.house.gov/media/pres…

Our appreciation for Oregon’s Latino communities cannot be confined to a single month. Their talents and contributions strengthen our state every day. Just as that proud heritage endures year-round, so does my promise to be an unwavering voice for Latinos and for all Oregonians in Congress. #HHM2026
