Has Trump’s Operation Epic Failure ended?
Possibly, with reports that an agreement could be signed Friday.
It’s a good thing if the guns and missiles fall silent, but Trump’s war of choice with Iran has damaged the U.S. in so many ways.

I’m fighting to protect our planet and bring down costs.
I just introduced a set of bills to stand up to Trump’s climate-killing energy policies, support affordable clean energy, and help lower energy costs for everyday Americans.
Keeping the public informed about critical wildfire news saves lives during wildfire season. The Trump Administration’s reckless staffing decisions put communities in danger—I’m demanding they be reversed.
Trumpflation means that costs on housing, groceries, energy, and just about everything else are through the roof.
Families are stretched to the limit, but Trump says he “loves” inflation. With him it’s always families lose, billionaires win.
Trump loves inflation. Americans don’t.
Today, we remember the 49 lives cut tragically short by the horrific 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting 10 years ago today. Let us honor their memory with action and continue to fight for commonsense gun safety reform and protections for LGBTQ+ people.
Trump and Republicans forced through an ICE funding bill that gives another $70 BILLION to ICE and Border Patrol as they terrorize our communities… and does absolutely nothing for you and your family.
Just plain wrong.
The ballot box is the beating heart of our democracy—and it’s under threat from AI disinformation and voter suppression efforts.
@padilla.senate.gov and I introduced the FAIR Elections Act to fight back. Every eligible voter should have their voice heard!
Republicans are pushing for a MASSIVE war budget for Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran.
No way, no how. Trump’s “epic fury” is an epic FAILURE.
This is Trumpflation—and Americans are paying the price for Trump’s failed economic policies.
In the West Bank, Palestinians are being cut off from water sources, from their orchards, from their vineyards.
It’s unjust, and I’m pressing for the U.S. to act.
Trump repeatedly said he wouldn’t start wars. But it’s undeniable that he did.
Something else undeniable: he’s pulled the U.S. into an unconstitutional war with Iran.
I’m working to end Trump’s warmongering and rein in his illegal war.
Private equity invading the housing market means folks can’t afford to rent a home in their neighborhood and threatens to extinguish the dream of homeownership.
I’m leading the charge to kick hedge funds OUT of our housing market. We have bipartisan momentum—let’s get it done.
AMAZING—a condor flew into Oregon for the first time in 120 years! The critical conservation efforts I’ve supported are working to protect these amazing, endangered birds. I can’t wait to see more condors soar.
Ollie Court is a breath of fresh air in Eugene! As we face a housing crisis, this innovative apartment complex not only provides homes for families, but also houses an early childhood learning center that is putting Oregon kids on the path to success. So important.
Huge private equity firms have started to control every part of our lives—from your kid’s little league team to the house you live in.
We need to put people first. I’m focused on breaking the grip of private equity—taking back the housing market and taking back our lives.
Skyrocketing costs affect all of us. I sat down with Oregonians to discuss how the affordability crisis is putting strain on so many people across our state—farmers, small business owners, families—and how I’m fighting to bring down costs for folks.
Ocean currents have a huge impact on our planet. That's why it is beyond stupid for Trump to dismantle America's huge network of ocean sensors.
This week, Israeli security forces seized four students from their homes in the West Bank, including American Sama Safi. The students haven’t been charged. Sama’s family and the U.S. Embassy don’t know where she was taken. This is a five-alarm fire. The U.S. needs to secure Sama’s release NOW.
