My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

The Trump administration is working as hard as it can to starve 42 million kids, seniors and families. Incompetence and inhumanity in equal measure.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Trump is leaving families to starve but communities are stepping up. That he’s trying to interfere proves Trump really just wants kids and families to go hungry. I just introduced a bill to protect stores that offer discounts to SNAP recipients if they choose to.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.
Trump announces he will refuse to follow the court order to provide SNAP benefits to needy families.

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Oregonians: I'm sharing resources in my instagram stories on where to find free meals and groceries. Our state is really pulling together to support each other when it's needed most, and that's why I'm damn proud to be an Oregonian.

Over 200 members of Congress have backed our Supreme Court fight over Trump’s unlawful tariffs.
The president has abused an emergency power to set illegal tariffs that are impacting families across this country. A bipartisan group in Congress - led by Senator Ron Wyden - agrees.
