Glad to see Oregon leading the way to take advantage of new Medicaid dollars I secured to help some of our most vulnerable neighbors in Oregon and nationwide weather the worst of the climate crisis.
Oregon has started providing air conditioners, air purifiers and power banks to help some of its Medicaid recipients cope with the dangers of climate change. It’s a first-in-the-nation experiment.

"We don't even know what data was stolen," Senator Wyden tells UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty, during a congressional hearing on the cyberattack that exposed millions of Americans' confidential medical information. "Your company, on your watch, let the country down."

Today, I am proud to join with
@SenBooker
and
@RonWyden
to reintroduce the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, a comprehensive and necessary update to the federal government’s approach to cannabis.
NEW:
@SenSchumer
,
@RonWyden
and
@SenBooker
will reintroduce the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act tomorrow. It's a bill that would federally decriminalize and regulate cannabis. Presser at 12:30 - more details coming soon.

's failure to implement bare minimum cybersecurity standards has left patients and providers in the lurch. UHG touches 152 MILLION individuals nationwide. That means nearly one-third of Americans could be impacted by this corporate negligence.
The
@UnitedHealthGrp
cyber attack is the poster child for why it's so important for massive corporations to abide by bare minimum cybersecurity standards. I'll be pushing Congress and federal agencies to implement *and enforce* new cybersecurity requirements to protect patients.

This is good news, but there’s more to be done to rectify the harms of the failed War on Drugs. That’s why I’m continuing to lead the fight in the Senate with
@SenSchumer
and
@SenBooker
to deschedule cannabis once and for all.
I do have to say: Oregon.
for being less than 4.3 million people, Oregon makes a lot of press and does a lot of a trailblazing in a variety of fields and is the source for quite a few national products.
Oregon also has pretty much every geographic feature you can name to boot.
Every Senator has a duty to fight fraud & protect taxpayer dollars. My bipartisan bill w/
@RepJasonSmith
is the only bill on offer that'll cut off the gushing firehose of fraud under the Employee Retention Tax Credit. If enough Senate Republicans will join us, we can get it done.
Thankful this Earth Day for powerhouse advocates like Oregon's own iconic Pattie Gonia who work day in and day out to create grassroots change and demand climate action from their elected officials.
We are grateful to have been able to catch
@RonWyden
on such a busy day on the hill + thank him for his incredible work for our climate & forests.
From the River Democracy Act to public support for our mature & old-growth, we thank Sen. Wyden for standing up for our planet!
I know from meetings with Pat Hubbell in his southeast Portland pharmacy how hard he works for his customers. Pat also dispenses wise counsel here in this letter about how pharmacy benefit managers hurt independent community pharmacies just like his.
