Starting 3/28, 7 counties will move to less restrictive COVID-19 risk categories, and Josephine & Klamath counties will enter a two-week cautionary period to improve their case numbers. See full county movement information: https://t.co/3Nb60n7SbH
I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.
People in this country are hurting right now – especially women. About 2.5 million women have lost their jobs or dropped out of the workforce during the pandemic.
The American Rescue Plan addresses these urgent challenges.

Our rivers and streams are some of the most special natural treasures Oregon has to offer. We can protect the health of these delicate ecosystems, strengthen access to high-quality drinking water, improve wildfire resilience, and boost recreation economies for years to come.
Who wants their tax dollars to be used boosting polluters and propping up the fossil fuel industry? Count me in on this, @EvergreenAction. We must end government-funded pollution.
President Trump has now told advisors not to share information with Biden’s team that could be used against him as he actively tries to undermine the transition, the Washington Post reports this morning.

The 13th Amendment has bent the criminal justice system into a tool used to control Black Americans. It’s time for us to #EndTheLoophole and remove this stain from our Constitution. #BlackLivesMatter#DemCast
