26 years ago Portland Harbor was added as a superfund site and we are still waiting to hold in account those responsible. So sad how the EPA and wheels of justice turn so slow. www.wweek.com/news/environ...

In the past six months of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, fewer women and families are getting critical medical care, and many more are facing skyrocketing health costs. I’m partnering with @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov to help expose how health care cuts endanger access to lifesaving care.

Senator Mullin failed to demonstrate even a basic understanding of constitutional rights and due process. It is clear he would continue the abuses at DHS and support Stephen Miller and JD Vance’s violent policies. I voted no.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

Trump is too weak to take on China on trade armed with fact, but strong enough to take on the entire world with fiction (via Bloomberg Opinion)

Petrochemical firm owners concentrate among corporations, geographically in China, the US, & Saudi Arabia—but ownership ≠ control. Chinese & other Asian investors exert significant control, while US investors have limited control from passive investments. Saudi Arabia fully controls its investments.

America's democracy rating plunged by nearly 25% since President Trump's return to office. Ignoring the rule of law controlling a feckless congress and attacking the media, Trump has pushed the US system closer to a dictatorship. v-dem.net/documents/75...

HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.

Kash Patel refused to deny that the FBI is buying up Americans' location data. This is a shocking end run around the 4th amendment and exactly why we need to pass real privacy reforms NOW.

Jared Kushner makes up for his flaws as an investor by being a wildly corrupt appendage of his father-in-law’s wildly corrupt administration. The U.S. becomes less safe and more corrupt every day Jared Kushner remains involved in our political system.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

Washington state just passed a tax on millionaires. The tax will raise $3 BILLION a year, starting in 2029. This is how you take on the affordability crisis.
