Americans deserve a public health system that sees threats coming before they become emergencies and the PREDICT Act brings us one step closer to that reality.

That is why last month I along with several of my Senate colleagues introduced the PREDICT Act to strengthen and expand wastewater surveillance.

This legislation ensures universities have the tools they need to provide quality care and support to students struggling with their mental health.

Education is the key to opportunity in America, and the environment and support our kids receive from cradle to college is just as important as what is being taught in the classroom.

Today’s ruling is a victory for democracy,” said Senator Markey. “For now, eligible voters can continue to cast their ballots by mail with confidence that their vote will be counted. Although Trump and MAGA Republicans lost today, this…

This whole idea behind the SAVE Act is trying to push a mythology that our elections aren't secure, are rigged. That's not true.

It's not like we can't pay a $25 minimum wage. We just choose not to because we've become okay with dozens and dozens of people in this country making hundreds of billions of dollars.

If you ask Democrats in an open survey what they think the minimum wage should be, they say $27. If you ask Republicans, independents, they say $26.

I think we have been probably far too judgmental of some of these voters on the right, because they don't share all of our cultural and social views.

Democrats are not going to win by defending this version of capitalism. But I think we'll be able to offer ideas on how to dramatically reform it rather than throwing out the entire system.

I think our party should have bigger ideas. I put one on the table last week – a $25 minimum wage.

Ultimately, the proposed rule seeks to create a centralized national absentee voter database with individualized barcodes connected to the voters’ names under the control of the President that contains the voting information of millions of…

We write for a second time regarding the unconstitutional and illegal attempt to transform the United States Postal Service into an election administration agency controlled by the White House and President Trump.

We urge you to honor that commitment by abandoning these proposals and to further reject any legislation that would permanently cut off these benefits to veterans.

We are equally opposed to the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act because it codifies the same harmful reductions in benefits for veterans with tinnitus and sleep apnea benefits.

We urge you to listen to the growing opposition from veterans and publicly commit to addressing their concerns.

I’m proud to fight to create an economy that helps Oregon’s families get ahead, not just those at the very top.

A 25 dollar living wage wouldn’t just be a leg up for workers, it would be an economic revolution and deliver the benefits of economic growth exactly where they belong: with the workers.

I’ve spent my career fighting to protect Americans’ freedoms and health care rights, and I’ll continue pushing back against Trump’s attacks on the freedom of people with disabilities to live and thrive in their communities.

It’s long past time to face the hard historic truth that LGBTQ+ Americans suffered for far too long the loss of jobs and the ruin of reputations simply for loving who they love.

America is at its best when everyone can live as their authentic self—no matter who they are or whom they love.

At a time when local budgets throughout Oregon are tight, it’s more important than ever to provide these federal investments that support public education, public safety and transportation statewide.
