As we reflect on the solemn anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki this week, we must renew our commitment to making sure nuclear weapons are never used again.

A federal appeals court confirmed what we already know: Trump cannot violate the Constitution and spend taxpayer money however he wants. I’ll keep fighting to put an end to Trump’s wasteful vanity projects.
This is tragic news, and my thoughts are with Jason Ensign’s loved ones, friends, and fellow firefighters in the wake of this great loss.
So many firefighters are working in dangerous conditions to keep our communities safe. In any way we can, let's show them our appreciation.

The true cost:
Death and injury to American service members.
High costs to American families and farmers.
Thousands of Iranian civilians maimed and killed.
Reformers weakened and hardliners strengthened in Iran.
Alliances shattered.
Russia enriched.
$404 million. A day. That’s how much just three oil companies have raked in since Trump launched his failed war in Iran. Trump is keeping his campaign promise to enrich Big Oil executives.

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law.
Today, Trump and his lackeys are subverting voter access, and the subservient Supreme Court gutted the VRA.
I’m fighting to restore the VRA and uphold fair and free elections!
Great to meet with members of the Oregon Future Farmers of America—the next generation of agriculture in our country!
These students are leaders in their communities, and their dedication to our state’s agriculture and the future of farming is admirable.

While Americans are struggling to make ends meet, Republicans are pushing to spend $455 BILLION on an unrealistic military boondoggle named after Trump. Republicans should put taxpayers and working families ahead of Trump's vanity.
Putting bets on how destructive wildfires would be is just plain wrong—opening the door to arson, public safety risks and insider trading.
I’m demanding action to rein in the prediction markets letting people bet on natural disasters like wildfire.
We need an Attorney General who will put the American people first, not focus on bending the knee to Trump.
Todd Blanche is not that person. I’m a HELL NO.
The For Our Republic Act is an answer to Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip—a roadmap to protecting our democratic institutions and the most vulnerable people in our democratic republic.
Let’s save our republic!

FIRST ON MS NOW:
Warning that the US already has the “ingredients” of a “strongman state,” Sen. Jeff Merkley is rolling out a sweeping legislative package designed to curb what he calls authoritarian abuses of power — with Trump squarely in mind.

Oregon just set a horrible new wildfire record: 2 million acres burned—and months left to go in fire season.
I’m grateful to the firefighters and emergency personnel working through difficult conditions and will continue to fight for the federal resources Oregon needs.
The SAVE Act ought to stand for “Secure Authoritarian Victories Everywhere.” It’s all about Trump tightening his authoritarian grip on our elections. HELL NO.

This is as corrupt as it gets.
It shouldn’t be on the American people to bail out Trump’s Freedom 250 donors.
I’m demanding answers.
I’m committed to ending Trump’s illegal, misguided, and hugely destructive war of choice with Iran.
Partial federal funding has been approved for the western portion of the Rowe Creek Fire Complex—but the eastern portions of the fire in Wheeler County still need help. I’m continuing to fight for the FEMA funding needed for all of Oregon’s major fires.
UPDATE: FEMA has approved support for the Rowe Creek Fire Complex West. I’m glad to see federal help on the way for firefighters who are working around the clock to protect Oregonians. I’ll continue to fight for the federal resources we need for the rest of the fires raging in Oregon.
