We need more people in teaching, nursing, and other critical professions that improve the lives of Americans. I’m leading the fight against the Trump administration’s new student loan limits that will make it harder for students to pursue their dreams. https://t.co/TWZU4KHbLh

I sat down with Maddie Biertempfel in my DC office this week to discuss some of the most urgent issues facing Oregonians right now, including threats to student loans, the risk of wildfires, rising costs, the war in Iran, and more. https://t.co/Rxqly9TBSO

It is abundantly clear that the priority of Republican lawmakers is to protect corporate polluters at the expense of people who pay higher bills, breathe dirtier air, and confront more climate-induced extreme weather events. Carbon emissions are contributing to disease and damaging the environment. Granting immunity to oil and gas companies is immoral and would further harm people across the country who are already burdened by surging electricity bills, higher property insurance, and unaffordable health care costs. The companies and individuals who created this crisis must be held accountable, and that means giving injured parties their day in court. I will do everything I can to block this legislation and any other attempt to create a liability shield for polluters. https://t.co/wmpsOmfCbm

Do you know what Disney's Michael Eisner, Avon Product's Andrea Jung, and Spanx founder Sara Blakely all have in common? They are all very successful businesspeople who were theater majors. I urged Sec. McMahon to consider how degrees in theater and arts teach skills like confidence, communication, and creativity, which are beneficial in any career.

The Trump administration is capping federal loans for students who want to be nurses, social workers, teachers, and enter many other professions. This means they may need to give up on their dreams or turn to high-interest, often predatory private lenders to complete their degrees. At the same time, this administration is spending billions of dollars on war and tax cuts for the wealthy that could go to helping students. Education Sec. McMahon had no good answers about these harmful policies. I'm introducing legislation to reverse the Trump administration's disastrous changes to the student loan rule.

Today I demanded answers from Education Secretary McMahon about the ten so-called interagency agreements she made to transfer the administration of critical education programs to other federal agencies. The fact is that several, if not all, of what are really bureaucracy expansion agreements are illegal or unconstitutional and will make services more complicated and less accessible to students and families.

I agree with the Department of Education’s Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey, who said that “no child should ever be targeted for abuse at school because of his or her identity.” “No child.” This includes LGBTQI+ students, who are frequently targeted for abuse at school because of their identity. It’s time for this administration to protect their rights too.

The hardworking, dedicated crew from the Artemis II mission visited the Science Committee! They have brought hope and inspiration to people here in the US and around the world, and they are inspiring us all to reach for the stars 🚀 https://t.co/b5bJgX10b0
