Everyone—regardless of their age—should be able to go to work every day knowing that they are protected from discrimination. The bipartisan, bicameral Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act would strengthen the legal rights of older workers.

This is inhumane. Thousands of people who came to our country fleeing persecution and violence with the promise that they had legal protections will now face the threat of deportation. Trump’s dangerous mass deportation agenda is a threat to what we stand for as a nation.

Some deportations for Venezuelans might occur as Supreme Court allows Trump to strip protections

The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals.

As a separate branch of government, we must provide checks and balances and challenge the rampant abuses of due process and human rights we are seeing across the country.

I'm standing with Rep. McIver against the baseless charges that Trump’s Department of Justice brought against her for upholding her responsibility to conduct oversight. The administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress and stop them from doing their job.

Oregonians: today is the last day to vote in this year’s special election. Ballots must be dropped off at an official drop site by 8pm or postmarked by Tuesday, May 20, 2025. Find a drop box near you: sos.oregon.gov/voting/Pages...

Oregon Secretary of State

The Oregon Secretary of State works to maximize voter participation, is a watchdog for public spending, makes it easier to do business in Oregon, and preserves and promotes Oregon history.

The House has not yet voted on this bill, and I will continue to fight it every step of the way.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 19(source)

In the middle of the night, the GOP members on the budget committee approved a massive (not beautiful) bill that would kick millions of Americans off their health care and give tax breaks to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 16(source)

In Congress, we often refer to speeches and remarks on the House floor by the amount of time we are allotted to talk: five-minute, one-minute, two-minute, etc. In my Mailbag Minute, I’m giving the floor to everyday Oregonians. Here’s a few letters I’ve received recently.

This investment will help to strengthen local economies and address the affordable housing crisis, which is exactly what Congress envisioned when we passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. I will continue to advocate for the policies and resources Oregonians need to thrive.

It is exciting that NW Oregon is receiving federal funding for projects that will transform formerly contaminated land into spaces that benefit Oregonians.

Funding amounts: Astoria, Cleanup Heritage Square $2 million*; Northwest Oregon Economic Alliance, Community-wide Assessment $1.2 million; Tillamook County, Community-wide Assessment $500,000; North Plains, Cleanup Glencoe Opportunity Area $1 million*; Beaverton, Community-wide Assessment $500,000; Portland, Community-wide Assessment $500,000; Oregon Business Development Department (Portland, Salem) $650,000*. *Funding is from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

This is a stark reminder of how out of touch the GOP priorities are with the real needs of working people in the country. I will continue to work with my colleagues to stop these disastrous cuts to Medicaid and other essential programs.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 16(source)

It’s not surprising that what Donald Trump is calling a “big beautiful bill” did not get enough support to move to the full house for a vote. Some GOP members won't be satisfied until more Americans are kicked off their health care so they can give tax cuts to billionaires.

President Donald Trump’s agenda has been thrown into chaos after a group of GOP hardliners blocked the bill in a key committee vote on Friday – dealing a major embarrassment to House Republican leaders and Trump himself.

Head Start has been essential for both children and parents for 6 decades, and we must continue to protect and strengthen the program so it continues to benefit future generations.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 16(source)

This weekend marks the 60th anniversary of Head Start—a program that has helped millions of children and their families with comprehensive early learning, health, nutrition, and family support services.

We should focus on supporting and improving the public schools that serve more than 92% of public school students before we support more funding for charter schools.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

As an expert witness testified at a recent education hearing, abrupt closures are damaging and disruptive for students, families, communities, and the broader public school system.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

A 2024 study that examined the closures of charter schools from 1998 to 2022 found that more than 25% of charter schools close within five years of opening. This increases to 49% within fifteen years of opening.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

Studies show that charter schools close at concerningly high rates and often have problems with conflicts of interest, lack of accountability, and failure to protect students’ civil rights—among other issues.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

I often say that education is one of the best investments we can make, but how we direct funding should be based on evidence and research.

Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

I will do all I can to stop this illegal and unconstitutional attempt to gut these critical programs.
