I’m glad the bombs have stopped falling, but we are so much worse off than we were before Trump’s illegal war of choice. This is a crisis of Trump’s own making.
What Trump called Operation Epic Fury is now Operation Epic Failure.

Huge win!! In partnership with Senator Lisa Murkowski, we protected the Ocean Observatories Initiative—critical sensors that are essential for managing our fisheries, forecasting weather, and understanding climate change.
The Senate unanimously passed our bipartisan bill to protect the Ocean Observatories Initiative—critical sensors that are essential for managing our fisheries, forecasting weather, and understanding climate change.
HUGE: I just led an “SOS” call on the Senate floor—Save Ocean Sensors—with Senator Lisa Murkowski!
Trump’s claim: this is taxpayer free.
The truth: taxpayers would be socked for over $300 million!! Hell no!
Sports at their best: bringing communities together. We welcome the Jordanian men’s team to Portland!
A chilling look into how this Administration wants to take away our constitutional rights, settled precedent, and trample on the rule of law.
I will not let up the pressure to protect our most fundamental rights.
DACA is a vital program—a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, folks brought to the U.S. as children. As the program remains under attack from the Trump Administration, I’ll keep working to protect DACA and fix our broken immigration system to respect the dignity of each person.
Do I have faith that Trump’s former personal lawyer will work in the best interest of the American people? Hell no.
We need an Attorney General who will put We the People first, not focus on bending the knee to Trump.
I’m a NO on Todd Blanche.
Of course people don’t believe the “Families Lose, Billionaires Win” economy is working for them. Because it’s NOT.
It doesn’t have to be this way—I’m fighting for a vision where families thrive and billionaires (and trillionaires!) pay their fair share.

MERKLEY: Do you believe the 2020 election was rigged?
DEPUTY WH BUDGET DIRECTOR HAL DUNCAN: I believe Joe Biden was certified as the winner
MERKLEY: He was certified, yes. But do you believe the outcome was rigged?
DUNCAN: I believe Joe Biden was certified

There’s a clear pattern of corruption here. It’s past time we ban ALL elected officials from stock trading, once and for all.
This ocean observatory program is authorized, it’s funded, and for the administration to shut it down without direction from Congress is supreme stupidity and a violation of the fundamental separation of powers in our Constitution.
50 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. These were parents, friends, and neighbors.
Thousands more people are being held in horrific conditions in ICE detention. I’m fighting to end the Trump Administration’s cruel and dangerous immigration policies.

Vote after vote, Republicans sided with Trump and ignored YOU.
In short? Trump’s Operation Epic Fury was an Epic FAILURE.
Iran’s highly enriched uranium is still in Iran.
Some reports indicate that Iran may win relief on sanctions and access to frozen assets even before the fate of its nuclear materials is resolved.
Russia is richer.
Iran’s hardliners are strengthened and reformers are weakened.
The U.S.’s relationship with our European allies is damaged.
This new agreement might open the Strait of Hormuz… but it was open before Trump’s war.
The Department of Defense has spent BILLIONS.
American families are paying higher prices for gas, farmers are paying higher prices for diesel and fertilizer.
Inflation has soared to a 3-year high.
U.S. servicemembers have died. Hundreds are injured.
U.S. bombs and missiles have killed thousands of Iranian civilians.
U.S. munitions are severely depleted.
