🔥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.

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.

TOWN HALL: I’m headed to Clackamas County for a public town hall on 2/6 at 6:00 PM. Hearing from Oregonians about the challenges they face and the issues they care most about shapes my work in the Senate—I hope to see you there!

$1,408,500,000.
The Grifter-in-Chief is lining his own pockets while ripping nutrition assistance and health care away from millions of Americans. Disgusting.

Upholding my oath means protecting our communities.
Another advance in Trump's fascist agenda: warrantless arrests of just about anyone at any time.
A former ICE advisor, concludes the new guidance "would cover essentially anyone they want to arrest without a warrant, making the general premise of ever getting a warrant pointless."

Trump is trying to look like a strongman, and taxpayers are footing the bill.
Trump’s lawless federal agents are trampling on our Constitution and terrorizing our communities. I wrote a bill to give Americans the legal tools they need to hold ICE and CBP accountable when their agents break the law and violate our Constitutional rights.
We in Congress must act now to hold DHS and ICE accountable.

Democrat’s bill would let people sue ICE over misconduct

That’s why I teamed up with @merkley.senate.gov to introduce the Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act, straightforward legislation to prohibit America the Beautiful Passes from having the image or likeness of any living political figures.
