Live updates: Suspect dead after ramming vehicle into Detroit-area synagogue, sheriff says | CNN A suspect is dead after a car drove into a building at Temple Israel, a synagogue containing a school, in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, a federal law enforcement official briefed on the incident...

I am horrified by the violent antisemitic attack in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

No one should be fearful in their place of worship. We must come together to condemn and confront antisemitism—it has no place in this world.

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.

Our national parks and public lands are not a canvas for a president’s offensive vanity projects. Attempting to bypass Congress to put up a massive Arch de Trump on federal land is absurd and a slap in the face to every working family and Oregonian struggling to get by.

Americans deserve better.

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

The party that lectures America about “fiscal responsibility” just spent $5.6 billion on bombs in two days.

Apparently cost is only a concern when it’s for healthcare, housing, or help for working families.

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

Absolutely horrific. Trump is responsible for bombing a school full of children.

The American people deserve to know how this happened, what is being done to ensure it never happens again, and when this unconstitutional war will end.

Our flight attendants ensure we get where we are going safely. The least we can do is make sure they have the wages and benefits they deserve. That's why I joined the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) rally to call for a fair contract!! Let's get it done.

Oil Prices Spike to Over $110 a Barrel, Highest Since Pandemic

Gas prices are soaring.

The list of things that are unaffordable for everyday Americans just keeps getting longer. We need healthcare and lower prices, not war in the Middle East. This is what happens when a president serves their ego instead of the American people.

Each dollar secured started with a conversation. A constituent in Hood River or a local leader in Gresham who let me know where our district needs more support. It’s because of you I secured over $14 million in community project funding—and I’m just getting started.

Good jobs. Affordability. A stable economy.

These are the things that my constituents need—and what our government should be focused on delivering to ensure the next generation is able to build a secure future.

War in Iran puts their future and their lives at risk.

No one should fear getting detained at the hospital. I applaud our state for leading with compassion and humanity, and I'll keep working in Congress to protect sensitive locations like healthcare clinics from immigration enforcement.

Oregonians are clear: NO WAR WITH IRAN.

The decision to go to war must reflect the will of the people, exercised through their elected representatives. I’m here to exercise YOUR will, and that’s why today I’ll be voting to END all unauthorized hostilities with Iran.

What Trump’s War With Iran Has Already Cost Taxpayers The military operation had already cost more than approximately $600 million before the first strikes were even carried out.

Imagine if we invested billions of dollars in housing, healthcare, or creating good-paying jobs instead of starting a disastrous war? That's what the American people want—and that's what I'm fighting for.

Alex Pretti and Renée Good were murdered by federal agents. Soon after, Secretary Noem labeled them 'domestic terrorists.’

I gave her the chance to recant and apologize for the pain she's caused their families with these outrageous lies. She refused.

I met with Oregon’s community colleges to see how we can make getting an education and technical training more affordable and accessible.

All community colleges should be free—full stop. Nothing should block our kids from pursuing their dreams. I am determined to help make that a reality.

I attended a congressional briefing today to be able to ask questions about why we went to war with Iran. You know what I didn’t hear? Clear, compelling answers. Hope is not a strategy—we need to demand better from our government.
