From a constituent in Portland, ORThe proposed ban on purchasing certain items like sodas and chips with SNAP benefits is misguided. Many low-income families live in food deserts with limited access to healthy options. Restricting their ability to afford any available food, even if not perfectly nutritious, would be detrimental and
From a verified voter in Portland, ORNo on the JUDGES Act, the PEPPER Act, and the NORRA Act
I oppose all efforts to delegitimize court orders, threaten judges, and erode constitutional safeguards. These things fundamentally threaten American democracy. The fact that Republican congressmembers are now attempting to codify these authoritarian power grabs disgusts me. I want you to vote NO o

From a constituent in Portland, ORDon’t let food bank aid get cut!
I read today that the Federal government is reducing its aid to the Oregon Food Bank by nearly 20 percent. It is unacceptable to fund tax cuts while cutting food aid to our poorest citizens. Please, make some noise about this in Congress — I believe it is a nationwide issue.
From a verified voter in Portland, ORNo on NORRA
I’m writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act (“NORRA”). If passed, NORRA would destabilize the checks and balances built into our constitutional system, putting the freedom of every American at risk. NORRA would sharply limit federal district courts’ ability to

Hours ahead of the US attack on the Houthis, Pete Hegseth texted the timeline of the planned attack to 17 people on a Signal chat - one of whom turned out to be the Editor of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. At the end of his “team update,” Hegseth wrote “We are ’urrently clean on OPSEC.” The incomp

From a constituent in Portland, OROur national security is on SIGNAL?!? Hegseth needs to be stopped.
I’m horrified to see the news that Sec Hegseth was using Signal to send national security information and then tagged a journalist?

From a verified voter in Portland, ORI am extremely alarmed by the regime’s attempt to eliminate information silos, which protect all manner of vital personal information.
