TOWN HALL: I’m headed to Malheur County for a public town hall on 3/30 at 11:00 AM MT. Hearing from Oregonians about the challenges they face and the issues they care most about shapes my work in the Senate—I hope to see you there!
Republicans want to pass a bill to make it harder for MILLIONS of American citizens to cast their ballots—especially married women, new citizens, and our Tribal communities.
Republicans claim it’s about keeping noncitizens from voting—that’s a lie.
Wishing a joyous Nowruz to all those welcoming the arrival of spring and celebrating the possibilities of a new year. Nowruz Pirooz to all who celebrate!
Putting troops on the ground in Iran is a hell of a mistake.
Democrats put up a bill to pay TSA agents. AGAIN.
Republicans blocked it. AGAIN.
Republicans are standing between TSA agents and their paychecks!
Eid Mubarak to all our Muslim friends and neighbors in Oregon and around the world who are celebrating Eid al-Fitr! Wishing you joy, health, and peace.

Déjà vu: Democrats AGAIN offered a bill to make sure TSA agents get their paychecks.
AND AGAIN Republicans blocked it!!
Republicans are keeping TSA agents from getting paid!
Because of a change in the U.S. Senate voting schedule, I am postponing the Klamath, Lake, Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson County town halls scheduled for 3/20 and 3/21.
An updated event schedule and invitations will be shared in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned!

Republicans claim the SAVE America Act would make it harder for noncitizens to vote. That’s a lie.
They might as well call it the “Stop Citizens from Voting Act.”
This bill is all about stopping some American citizens who Trump doesn’t want to vote from casting their ballot.
I commend the women who came forward to bravely tell their stories and recount decades of pain. Powerful men, no matter who they are, must be held accountable for abuse, grooming, and rape.
Republicans say their bill is about keeping noncitizens from voting. That’s a lie! The Republican bill is about stopping CITIZENS from voting—married women, students, Tribal communities. It’s just plain wrong.

Republicans need to get serious about paying critical federal workers.
Trump said he’d end wars and lower costs but he’s starting wars and raising costs.
His chaotic tariffs are taking money out of YOUR pocket as he wages an illegal war with Iran that is costing taxpayers more than $1 billion EVERY DAY.
