Thank you to the more than 20 million public servants—state, local, and federal government employees—in Oregon and across the country! We are grateful for your dedication and tireless work to help us tackle the most complex problems that face our communities. #GovPossible

Today, Senator Jeff Merkley, Senator Jack Reed, Ed Markey, Rep. Jared Huffman, Raul M. Grijalva, Nanette D. Barragán, Adriano Espaillat and I led over 70 Members to thank President Biden and Secretary Jennifer Granholm for the recent pause in approvals on new LNG exports.

We'll keep fighting to protect our planet. 🌎

We know that fossil fuels are driving the climate crisis - yet the U.S. exports oil & gas across the globe. That’s why Senator Jeff Merkley, Ed Markey, & I led a letter thanking the Biden admin for the vital decision to pause approvals of new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports.

As we see headline after headline about the ultra-rich and powerful trying to influence our Supreme Court justices with lavish gifts and vacations, it’s no wonder that public trust in the Court has eroded. We need a real, enforceable code of ethics for SCOTUS!

We invest more in prescription drug research than any other country in the world—Americans should get the best prices on Rx drugs, not the worst. We need to pass my End Price Gouging for Medications Act to STOP the Big Pharma price gouging.

My #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act will reform broken recycling systems, protect frontline communities, ban unnecessary single-use plastics, and make plastic producers—not the public—foot the bill for clean-up. We are committed to eliminating this crisis!

Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said Friday they are co-sponsoring the Next Step Home Act, a crucial piece of legislation aimed at restoring voting rights for people with felony convictions who have successfully re-entered society. ktvz.com/news/crime-cou…

May is Jewish American Heritage Month. This month, we recognize and honor the contributions our Jewish friends and neighbors make to our communities in Oregon and in communities across our country every single day of the year.

As we work together to address climate chaos, we must do all we can to make sure that folks in Oregon and across our country have the resources they need to deal with its impacts—including deadly heat—that we’re already feeling.

In my town halls last weekend, the issue of Supreme Court ethics came up again and again.

This is why I’m fighting for a real, enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court!

This is BIG. $28 million is headed to Oregon to help make sure that folks have reliable access to safe, lead-free drinking water.

The #YouthvGov plaintiffs deserve their day in court. It is deeply disturbing that the Ninth Circuit is putting dirty energy profits ahead of the rights of these young people to protect their planet and future, without a trial. People must come before polluter profits. Always.

The Biden admin is expanding ACA health care coverage to DACA recipients, folks brought to the U.S. as children. Everyone should have access to quality, affordable care. I'll keep working to protect DACA, create a path to citizenship for Dreamers, and support them along the way.

I support Sheldon Whitehouse’s DISCLOSE Act because we need to get dark money OUT of politics—and keep the ultra-rich and powerful from tipping the scales in their favor.

It’s common sense to me: TSA’s unchecked expansion of facial recognition tech at airports needs rigorous oversight. Especially when it’s unclear to travelers that they don’t need to have their face scanned! I’m fighting to protect our right to privacy. apnews.com/article/facial…

Giving all Americans the option to choose Medicare would help ensure they get quality, affordable care they need when they need it. Joined Senator Jeff Merkley in reintroducing the #ChooseMedicare Act to give Americans another choice to keep health costs down.

I sponsored a bill to create a real, enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court because the people deserve to know that the justices and the life-altering decisions they hand down have not been compromised to cater to the interests of the rich and powerful.

As I said in the Senate Budget Committee hearing yesterday: Big Oil is using their gobs of money to fund climate chaos disinformation.

I’m working to shed light on their lies, get dark money out of politics, and stop the dirty energy price gouging that fuels Big Oil’s record profits!
