I along with 60 other members of the House recently sent a letter to President Biden, urging him to meaningfully address climate change by issuing a national emergency. Climate change is the biggest existential crisis to our planet and every species that calls it home.

The Court’s actions are unprecedented. These recent decisions distort the court and raise serious concerns about the actions of its majority. It’s a dark time for our country, and it’s up to us to ignite the spark of change this November.

Warnings of the court’s declining credibility are hardly new, but after Roe’s fall, they’ve intensified and moved well beyond the bench.

We need 50 votes to overcome a filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade in federal law. Democrats have 48 votes. We need two more Senators who are willing to stand up for reproductive rights.

This important legislation increases and safeguards Social Security benefits, including increased cost-of-living adjustments that better account for the real cost of healthcare and prescription drug prices. It would increase monthly benefits for most recipients by $200/month. twitter.com/DeFazio4Oregon…

Gun violence is a national epidemic. That’s why I strongly support and proudly voted for the Protecting Our Children Act. While more work must be done, passage of this bill by Congress is a critical step towards addressing the horrors of mass shootings in America. #EndGunViolence

They were innocent children at school. I am devestated and enraged. Today marks the 27th school shooting and the 212th mass shooting this year alone. The Senate must take action now on the House-passed bipartisan gun safety legislation that would help save lives.

A significant way that we can reduce Putin’s power is to reduce the world’s dependence on Russian oil exports. 60% of their exports are oil/gas which directly funds their military machine. Our reliance on oil/gas fuels climate change and the drumbeat of war.
