It is the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, and it’s been nine years since my colleagues and I protested on the House floor with Congressman John Lewis to demand that Congress take action to prevent gun violence.

I'm ready to work with my colleagues to write and pass a real AI law that protects Americans and supports responsible innovation. States need federal leadership on AI, not coercion.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

The Trump AI executive order opens the door to exploitation and undermines states with a plan - without providing even a framework for the guardrails we need.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

Donald Trump's executive order to punish states for passing and enforcing AI laws is reckless and irresponsible. States stepped up because Congress has failed to pass a comprehensive proposal to protect privacy, address security and bias, and support safe, responsible, and ethical AI use. 🧵

Thank you @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for standing up against Trump's outrageous H-1B visa policy. This administration's tirade against foreign workers and immigrants must end.

BREAKING NEWS: We're filing a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's unlawful new $100k fee for H-1B visas. H-1B visas allow U.S. employers—like OSU & U of O—to hire skilled foreign workers in specialized roles like physicians, researchers, and nurses. #orpol #breakingnews

BREAKING NEWS: AG Rayfield sues Trump administration over unlawful new $100k fee for H-1B visas

H-1B visas allow U.S. employers to hire highly skilled foreign national workers in specialized roles — like physicians, researchers, and nurses. In September, Trump announced a new, unprecedented $100,000 fee for these visas. This creates a costly, unlawful barrier, especially for nonprofit and government employers trying to fill these roles.

Oregon State University currently sponsors more than 150 H-1B faculty researchers and staff, and the University of Oregon sponsors more than 50 H-1B faculty, researchers, and staff. Eliminating access to these roles would inflict significant institutional harm, deprive students of critical educational opportunities, and increase financial burden here in Oregon.

We’re already facing a critical nursing shortage, and policies limit financial aid for future nurses will make things worse, not better.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

Nurses are essential to our health care system. As a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Nursing Caucus, I’ll always advocate for these dedicated professionals to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve - in education and on the job. 🧵

Merkley, Wicker, Kiggans, Bonamici Lead Bipartisan, Bicameral Effort to Oppose New Limits on Student Loans for Nurses

At a time when our nation is facing a health care shortage, especially in primary care, now is not the time to cut off the student pipeline to these programs.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

I’m pleased to introduce the Opportunities for Success Act to improve this program and open doors of opportunity for more students.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

Additionally, this legislation will provide more students with work experience that is relevant to their interests and field of study. I benefited from Work Study when I was in college and know how it can help students throughout their careers.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

For decades the Federal Work Study program has helped thousands of students afford higher education, but the program is overdue for updates to better reach those who need it most. 🧵

This decision is good news for the people of NW Oregon, and I appreciate Attorney General Rayfield’s continued work and leadership to keep Oregonians safe.
