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.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
🔥Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov LIGHTS UP Republicans for ceding Congress’s spending power to Donald Trump and Russ Vought.
🔔🔔🔔 Ring the alarm bells!
Let’s be clear about what’s happening in our country: an authoritarian strongman desperate to cling to power is openly saying he wants to seize the ballot box.
HELL NO. I’m fighting to protect our right to vote in free and fair elections.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
As @merkley.senate.gov explains, with their ruling in Citizens United vs. FEC, the Supreme Court left our campaign finance system fundamentally broken.
I was a HELL NO on a blank check for ICE as Trump’s lawless federal agents terrorize communities in Oregon and across the country.
We must end the roving patrols and secret police tactics and get real accountability and justice for our communities.
The Grifter-in-Chief is back at it, trying to extort $10 billion from our government.
HELL NO! This is corruption, loud, proud, and on full display. Disgusting.
