U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici says the current impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump may draw most of the public's attention, but the House is working on other issues affecting people's lives.

A Portland-based industrial company completed the construction of a first of its kind renewable wave energy device.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici said she would likely vote to impeach President Donald Trump based on the evidence that has emerged so far about his appeals to Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

On Wednesday, the United Nations released an alarming report on global climate change, specifically how the build up of greenhouse gases is impacting the world's oceans and ice. Much of the warmth trapped in Earth's atmosphere by human-made carbon dioxide has been absorbed by the oceans and the impacts have been stark.

Ocean warming has more than doubled since 1993,according to this morning's report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. "The world's ocean and cryosphere have been 'taking the heat' from climate change for decades, and consequences for nature and humanity are sweeping and severe," Ko Barrett, vice-chair of the IPCC, said in a statement.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici says a new international report on the declining health of the oceans prompts her to call for immediate action by the House to support its findings.
