I have joined many of my colleagues in advocating for the next stimulus package to include monthly payments during this emergency to everyone making less than $135,000. The payments will not count as income for programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
Importantly, the package includes my bipartisan proposal to give USDA and states the flexibility they need to help schools and districts across our nation deliver meals to students during closures caused by #COVID-19.

Public health officials in Oregon have been working around the clock to respond to the #coronavirus. I’m continuing to do all I can to secure the federal funding and support they need to contain the spread. https://t.co/31Oda0xnpj
Older Americans cared for us & supported our communities throughout their lives – now it's our turn to care for them. I’m proud to lead a bipartisan effort to revitalize the programs & services that support nearly 11M aging Americans & their caregivers. =https://t.co/juC3pPvHPq
Their powerful story is featured in @NickKristoff’s & @WuDunn’s book Tightrope, on the challenges we face in Oregon and across the country: the opioid crisis, rising suicide rates, & a broken promise of opportunity for everyone.

In Congress, I am committed to stopping hateful policies and fighting for resources that will increase access to health care for all.
@VirginiaGarcia We are living in challenging times, with a President and administration who frequently attack immigrants, people of color, and those who live in poverty. We must stand up for all members of our community.
Loujain has been beaten, waterboarded, given electric shocks, sexually harassed, and threatened with rape and murder. She needs our unyielding support. I encourage the Nobel committee to award Loujain the 2020 Peace Prize.
Organizations like @HumanRightsFirst report that the #RemainInMexico policy has led to 630+ cases of rape, abduction, & assault, as well as 130+ kidnappings. This cannot continue. #DontLookAway
.@SpeakerPelosi created a nine-person working group to address these problems, focusing on labor, environment, enforcement, and drug pricing. Speaker Pelosi appointed me to the group to fight for improvements to the environmental provisions.
The#USMCA agreement as it was first presented to Congress by the Trump administration was flawed and included harmful provisions that would have locked in high drug prices, failed to protect workers and the environment, & more. Trump’s version would not have passed Congress.
The US signed the #USMCA agreement today, giving workers and businesses the stability & protections they need to succeed. This is the culmination of months of effort by @HouseDems, especially the work group I served on.
Crossing the border to Matamoros, Mexico, where families are being sent to stay in dangerous conditions while seeking asylum under the Trump admin’s #RemainInMexico policy. https://t.co/vWd04XCZDf
NW Oregon is home to the pristine Oregon Coast, abundant forests, a flourishing wine country, and so much more. I spoke to @REI about urgent conservation & stewardship issues like the #ClimateCrisis and attempts to sell or transfer public lands. https://t.co/WAGQ1yb3A0
The House took action to address the skyrocketing cost of Rx drugs by passing the #LowerDrugCosts Now Act this year. It’s outrageous that people w/ diabetes are paying 2-4x what people in other countries pay for insulin, a life-saving medication. https://t.co/EadrAlHIQW

The Trump administration is continuing to harm vulnerable communities and make the neediest among us hungrier. Today I stood with @SenWyden, @SenJeffMerkley, and @repblumenauer to speak out against the Trump administration's latest attempt to restrict access to SNAP benefits. https://t.co/OCTW1eYQsU
I will continue my oversight responsibility to hold her accountable and make sure students receive a quality education.
Today I stood w/ @SpeakerPelosi & my colleagues to present a much improved #USMCA. Over the past year we've worked tirelessly to achieve an agreement that supports American workers, enhances enforcement, & includes the strongest environmental provisions of any US trade agreement.

I’m fighting to make sure that @usedgov fulfills the promise made to so many people in public service.
The Opportunity to Address College Hunger Act will help more students access existing federal resources that they may already qualify for, but may not know about.
It’s extremely difficult for students to focus on their education when they are hungry or worrying about where to find their next meal. https://t.co/hAMD1p7BHI

Today I met with labor leaders who are standing up for working families. The House passed a bill to raise the minimum wage and I’m also backing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act to strengthen #WorkersRights to collectively bargain for better working conditions
This bill provides: $1.3 billion for flexible block grants (Title IV-A) that allow school districts to provide programs for mental health, drug and violence prevention, #STEAM & more $650 million for @IESResearch to evaluate education policies and research
I've continued to fight for increased investments in public education & quality early childhood programs -- including an additional $4 billion for #HeadStart & Child Care and Development Block Grants -- to make sure all children have the chance to reach their full potential.
The bill provides: $3 billion for state grants for implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act $250 million for Registered Apprenticeships $5 million for Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations program $1.9 billion for Job Corps
The health of our oceans reflects the health of our planet. I joined @RepYoung, my Co-Chair on the House Oceans Caucus, to introduce a resolution recognizing #WorldOceansDay committing to increasing research & monitoring of our oceans. #ProtectOurOceans https://t.co/6FSUiCT0EJ
