I’m headed to the Senate floor to vote YES on the biggest piece of housing legislation in three decades, thanks to the tireless work of @warren.senate.gov. I’m proud that the bill includes the charge I’ve led to break the grip of private equity on our housing market.
Huge private equity firms buying up whole blocks in our neighborhoods pours fuel on the fire of the affordable housing crisis. I have a bill to kick hedge funds OUT of our housing market. We have bipartisan momentum on our side. Now is the moment to get this done.
@usmnt.ussoccer.com is off to an amazing World Cup start with a 4-1 win against Paraguay under their belts. Good luck to Team USA as they take on Australia today! Welcome to the PNW!
On Juneteenth, we recognize the lasting, generational harms of slavery. Justice is still so often denied to Black Americans.  We recommit to building a more just country for all. That must include removing the Slavery Clause from the 13th Amendment. #EndTheException
The Senate unanimously passed our bipartisan bill to protect the Ocean Observatories Initiative—critical sensors that are essential for managing our fisheries, forecasting weather, and understanding climate change.
