The threat of extreme heat is often overlooked, but it kills more people across the world than any other natural disaster. We need to pass the Preventing HEAT Illness and Deaths Act, a bill I’m leading with Sen. Markey to better prepare communities for the increasing dangers of extreme heat.

Oregonians are passionate about protecting the natural spaces that make our state special. In this edition of Mailbag Minute, I’m sharing some messages I received about the need to protect the environment and address the climate crisis.
I urge my GOP colleagues to stop their relentless attacks on a vulnerable community and instead show some humanity.
We had a lot of celebrations this Pride month, but we also saw a conservative SCOTUS majority issue a devastating ruling that will further restrict access to lifesaving care for trans minors.
This case will have devastating consequences far beyond this case. As Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent, this decision is allowing the Executive branch permission “to continue doing something that a court has determined violates the Constitution.”
These injunctions have been critical tools for safeguarding the rights of individuals who might otherwise have no access to justice. And if an Executive Order is found to be unconstitutional, it shouldn’t be blocked only for people who have the resources and ability to sue.
Today’s Supreme Court decision did not answer the question of whether the President can end birthright citizenship, but it severely limits the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions to stop unconstitutional Executive Orders. This is an invitation to unchecked executive abuse.
I will continue to work toward full equality under the law for the LGBTQI+ community.
On this date in 2003, 2013, and 2015, the Supreme Court issued landmark rulings to protect the rights of LGBTQI+ people.
As we celebrate these anniversaries on #EqualityDay, we also must recognize that progress we’ve made has been hard won—not by SCOTUS justices but by everyday people & advocates.
Please keep the pressure on the Trump administration. I will keep advocating for Job Corps because Job Corps changes lives.
Great news: a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that blocks the Trump administration from shutting down Job Corps while the lawsuit proceeds. This injunction gives some stability to Job Corps students and staff right now, but the fight is not over.
Tsunami warnings save lives. I just reintroduced my bipartisan Tsunami Warning, Education, and Research Act because it’s past time to update our critical tsunami warning systems and invest in research to make coastal communities safer.
From tsunami warnings to tracking harmful algal blooms, we need the best possible ocean data and the dedicated scientists to gather it. The future of the blue economy depends on it.
Ocean data saves lives, supports fisheries, drives coastal economies, and helps us compete globally. Instead of strengthening our safety and economic edge, the Trump administration’s latest budget proposal guts NOAA’s ocean science programs and weakens the tools we need for safety and resilience.
Today is Ocean Data Day! The ocean bolsters nearly $400 billion for the U.S. economy each year, yet more than 90 percent of it remains unmapped, unexplored, and unobserved.
The lack of affordable child care limits opportunities, creates stress for families, & holds back the economy.
Congress must invest in child care because, as one expert witness testified, “the root of the child care crisis is that we are relying on the private market to solve a problem it cannot.”
This is the power of public pressure. Selling off our national forests and public lands to oil and gas companies is a nonstarter, but the fight isn't over. If you care about public lands, keep raising your voice and sharing your stories.
Outdoor enthusiasts, conservation advocates, and everyday Oregonians made their voices heard, and it worked.
This was not about housing - it was a land grab, plain and simple. And it failed because people across the country spoke up. People in the American West don't want our public lands to be privatized.
Good news: the Senate parliamentarian removed the terrible provision that would have opened millions of acres of public lands to fossil fuel interests from the Republican's Big Ugly Bill. 🧵
