Huge concern about a reported shooting of two individuals by federal agents outside Portland Adventist Hospital.
My team and I are closely monitoring this situation and are working hard to get answers. I will share any updates as I learn more.

Republicans cannot continue to make working Americans sicker and poorer while giving handouts to billionaires. We must put an end to Trump’s families lose, and billionaires win agenda.
Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov’s full statement on CBO's economic outlook linked below. ⤵️
Update on Congressional action on War Powers.
Glad to partner with you on this, @levin.house.gov.
Our tax dollars shouldn’t be used to rebuild Venezuela’s oil infrastructure. That’s a proposition that only benefits Big Oil.
ICE gunning down a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis is beyond sickening.
We need a full investigation, and for ICE to stop terrorizing our communities.
Holding Minneapolis in my heart today.
Trump is desperately trying to distract from the fact that his policies have made us sicker and poorer.

Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016.

Trump promised lower costs and America first.
But as healthcare and grocery bills skyrocket, he is focused on building ballrooms, renaming the Kennedy Center and literally running another country.
This is not what America asked for.
This is not what America deserves.
Trump campaigned on lowering costs—but instead he’s wreaking havoc on the economy—raising prices on everything from your utility bill to your groceries.
Trumpflation is putting families through hell.
Microplastics are invading our bodies, our food, and our water.
That’s why we need to pass my Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act!
We are in debt to the officers who put their lives on the line to protect members of Congress, staff, and our democracy on January 6, 2021.
Today is a heavy reminder that our freedom to vote and our “We the People” government is under threat—it’s up to us to protect it.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.
Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Democrats are fighting to give hardworking families a fair shot.
Republicans are fighting to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
