I’m fighting for the foundations Oregonians need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good paying jobs. Thank you for being with me in the fight to open the doors of opportunity to all!

Trump's DOJ worked harder to protect the privacy of potential child abusers than the Epstein survivors. I gave Acting AG Blanche multiple opportunities to say, "I apologize" or "I'm sorry." He refused. It's a disgrace.

Senate Republicans want American taxpayers to foot the bill for Trump's billion dollar vanity ballroom. Senate Democrats are fighting to make sure that doesn't happen.

Trump is setting up a $1.8 billion slush fund for payouts to his political friends who have committed crimes. Who’s eligible to get a payout? January 6 insurrectionists, Trump family members, Trump allies, etc. Who’s paying for it? YOU, the taxpayer.

I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.

So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars. But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply. This is insane & beyond corrupt. DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.

The Senate finally voted to advance a War Powers resolution to end this costly war. While Americans face rising gas and grocery bills, the President's attention is elsewhere. I urge my Republican colleagues — join me, pass this resolution, and deliver for hardworking Americans.

Standing in front of the site of his $1 BILLION, gold plated, taxpayer funded ballroom, Trump tells working people that an over $1.00/gallon spike in gas prices is 'peanuts.' Trump first, working Americans last. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.

Donald Trump is getting a $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by YOU. To do what? Fund the guys that rioted and beat up police officers? It’s unbelievable.

Clean water is a basic right. This dangerous effort to roll back water quality protections will only allow more harmful chemicals into our drinking water — putting Americans' health at grave risk.

While we are still learning the full results of President Trump's summit with President Xi, this is a clear step backward and a full 180 from his first term. American farmland should be for American farmers -- not for the Chinese Communist Party.

Today, I asked acting-AG Blanche if a convicted pedophile & Jan 6 rioter would be eligible for his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund. The fact that he can't rule it out is obscene.

Finally. The Senate just took a step in the right direction to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran that’s created a cost of living emergency for folks at home. Congress needs to assert its constitutional duty and do what the President won’t—help Americans and end his war of choice.

I am pleased to see the Senate finally step up to its constitutional duty and advance a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Consumer prices are up, Iran’s regime hasn’t moderated, and service members are at risk. We need oversight of this war now.

NEWS: The Senate voted today to put a check on President Trump’s power — and give Congress the say in bringing his war in Iran to an end. I’m grateful to all my colleagues, including 4 Republicans, who joined us in reaffirming Congress’s constitutional authority over going to war.

Trump’s Iran war is expensive, chaotic, and illegal. This is where we should’ve been 3 months ago. I call on my colleagues to vote to end this war when it comes to the Floor.

Finally, after weeks of pleading with our Republican colleagues to listen to their constituents and do their constitutional duty, we earned the support we need to rein in this reckless war. It’s overdue, but this is the first step toward stopping this illegal war that’s raising everyone’s costs.

It took two and a half months, tens of billions of dollars, 13 dead American servicemembers, 8 votes, and skyrocketing gas prices before enough Republican Senators stood up and said no to Trump’s disastrous war of choice in Iran. Finally.

NEW report shows Trump is spending $1 billion a day on war with Iran while military families pay the price at home. With sky-high grocery prices, military families are relying on local food pantries and emergency grocery support programs to put food on the table. Disgraceful.

We're at war in Iran. Inflation is rising. It costs $100 to fill your gas tank. Energy, housing and health care costs are skyrocketing, and Trump won't stop yapping about his ballroom.

Trump’s slush fund for his J6 buddies is one of the worst cases of corruption I’ve ever seen. He is literally using your money to pay criminals while you struggle to buy gas and groceries.

Donald Trump wants to use $1 billion of YOUR tax dollars to pay for his ballroom. He’s traded millions in stocks with companies his own Administration is promoting. Now, his Department of Justice wants to put $1.7 billion of YOUR tax dollars in a slush fund that he gets to give out to his buddies.
