Congress passed @lujan.senate.gov's and my Epstein Files Transparency Act—but it’s meaningless if my Republican colleagues continue to give the Trump Administration a free pass.
We need real accountability, right now.

Republicans blocked justice for Epstein’s victims.
1,000% wrong.
Our fight for transparency, justice, and accountability continues.
Proud of Hunter Hess and our Team USA athletes who absolutely embody the best of America—using their talents, their voices, and their values to represent the U.S. on the world stage.
Great to speak with folks in Hood River, Wasco, and Clackamas counties during town halls. Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on how to make our state—and our country—a better place.
We cannot normalize this. I’ll continue to press for answers and conduct oversight.
I’m relieved the Crespo-Gonzalez family has been released and returned to Oregon. As long as this Administration continues to detain our friends and neighbors without due process, we must all use our voices to defend common decency and the shared values that define us.
The Grifter-in-Chief is selling influence to line his own pockets. Corruption on full display.
Let’s pass my End Crypto Corruption Act and STOP THE GRIFT!!!
The racist video of the Obamas shared by Trump is unacceptable any way you square it. It doesn’t matter what lies or justification the White House will come up with to try to smooth it over. It’s plainly indicative of the racist rot overtaking this administration.

President Trump and his Administration keep lying about grocery prices.
But Americans know the truth every time they walk into the grocery store.
If you value freedom and privacy, you should be against ICE weaponizing facial recognition tech to surveil us and terrorize our communities.
We need to get this tech out of Trump’s hands as he desperately tries to tighten his authoritarian grip.
I’m fighting to protect our communities from Trump’s lawless federal agents.
We will not let Trump demolish free and fair elections.
One of Congress’s responsibilities is to conduct oversight—and unfortunately the House and Senate Republican majority has completely failed this responsibility.
I will, however, continue to push for oversight hearings and complete transparency. We all deserve truth and accountability.
People are dying in ICE detention and ICE is breaking the law to try to hide the details. It’s absolutely inexcusable.
The Grifter-in-Chief’s corruption on full display.
I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to rein in this blatantly corrupt administration and stop any politician from cashing in on their position—we need to get it passed.

Democrats are proposing basic law enforcement standards to rein in ICE.
ID on officers. Masks off, body cams on. Accountability matters.
Dismissing this outright shows Trump and GOP Senate leadership aren’t serious.

I’ll continue to push for the release of ALL the Epstein Files. Everyone involved in the abuse of children needs to be held accountable—regardless of their net worth, connections, or political party.
Good. It’s your right to peacefully protest—and those protests should never be met with brutality and tear gas.

Transparency is not optional.
Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov is leading Senate Budget Dems in demanding answers from Pete Hegseth on why he classified his spending plans for the Big, Ugly Betrayal Bill.
