Republicans BLOCKED this. They rubber stamped the Trump Administration’s dangerous agenda instead of standing up for the folks who are so critical to the heath and success of our communities.
Just plain wrong.

I’m headed to the Senate floor to force a vote to repeal Trump and McMahon’s policy that makes it harder for future nurses, teachers, social workers, and other critical public servants to pursue graduate degrees.
Education shouldn’t be a privilege for the wealthy.
Zane’s passing is a huge loss for Oregon and blow to the kind of local journalism that keeps communities informed and engaged. He leaves behind a legacy of thoughtful, meticulous reporting. My thoughts are with his loved ones and colleagues in the wake of this sad news.
Four years ago, the MAGA majority on the Supreme Court gutted access to abortion care. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
As the GOP continues their attacks on the full range of reproductive care—from birth control to IVF to abortion—I’ll fight back at every turn.
Electric bills, gas prices, and grocery costs are out of control, and families are feeling the strain.
This is Trumpflation at work. I'm fighting for an economy that helps every family thrive.
BREAKING NEWS: Trump just refused to sign the housing bill that Congress passed.
He is single-handedly delaying the largest investment in 30 years. He could bring down costs for working people with the stroke of a pen... and instead he's throwing a temper tantrum.
BIG NEWS: The House just passed the ROAD to Housing Act, a huge win for building affordable housing and kicking hedge funds OUT of our housing market.
The bill now heads to the President—we need to get this signed into law ASAP!
OUTRAGEOUS: ICE and Border Patrol were already sitting on $95 BILLION when Republicans handed them another $70 billion.
Billions more for ICE and CBP, and nothing for you and your family.
NEW: @senatebudget.bsky.social confirms ICE and CBP had $95 BILLION in unspent funds—even before Republicans handed them an additional $70 BILLION. Families are struggling with costs while Republicans ignore them and give BILLIONS to a rogue agency.

BIG: The Senate passed a War Powers Resolution against Trump's illegal war with Iran by a vote of 50-48. The House already passed the resolution. It's way past time to stop this unconstitutional war.
Mail-in voting is safe, simple, and popular.
I’m fighting to protect and expand access to vote by mail for every eligible voter!
Renewables on the rise! We need to keep pushing toward the cleaner, cheaper energy that will power our future.
HUGE: The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in 30 years!
Next step: the House needs to get this bill passed!
I’m headed to the Senate floor to vote YES on the biggest piece of housing legislation in three decades, thanks to the tireless work of @warren.senate.gov.
I’m proud that the bill includes the charge I’ve led to break the grip of private equity on our housing market.
This is election rigging, plain and simple. Trump is using access to federal grants to coerce states into letting Trump decide who can vote. Hell no!
Huge private equity firms buying up whole blocks in our neighborhoods pours fuel on the fire of the affordable housing crisis.
I have a bill to kick hedge funds OUT of our housing market. We have bipartisan momentum on our side. Now is the moment to get this done.
Trump campaigned on lowering costs.
He’s done the opposite.

For over a year, Donald Trump and Russ Vought have weaponized government spending to reward their political allies and punish their opponents. Hal Duncan seems prepared to do the same.
I’m voting NO on his nomination.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads, grandfathers, and father-figures out there!
Being a dad is just the best—and today, I’m reminded of how lucky I am.
GO TEAM USA!
@usmnt.ussoccer.com is off to an amazing World Cup start with a 4-1 win against Paraguay under their belts.
Good luck to Team USA as they take on Australia today! Welcome to the PNW!
