@merkley.senate.gov is asking the question Trump and Republicans won’t answer.
ICE is using facial recognition technology to trample on our privacy and civil liberties.
I co-led the ICE Out of Our Faces Act for everyone concerned about protecting their privacy and fundamental rights.
Surveillance pricing is just as creepy as it sounds: billionaire corporations spying on you to make sure YOU pay the highest price in the grocery store.
HELL NO—I’m fighting to ban this sinister tech.
Ramadan Kareem to all those observing this holy month in Oregon and around the world. May this Ramadan be a safe and blessed one for you and your loved ones.
Wishing everyone celebrating Lunar New Year a happy Year of the Horse. I hope it brings opportunity, joy, and health to all!
The Trump Administration wants to let a foreign mining company pollute the pristine Boundary Waters.
And if Republicans succeed in abusing the CRA—the Congressional Review Act—to force a win for big polluters, ALL of our public lands are at risk.
I'm a HELL NO on selling out our public lands.
Trump’s philosophy: Families Lose, Billionaires Win.
Let’s build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.
America does not have and has never had kings. Happy Presidents Day!
Trump has unleashed a secret police force to terrorize our neighborhoods. I'm fighting like hell against this breach of our fundamental rights.
Racism isn’t a bug in this Administration—it’s a feature. We can’t be silent about the fact that the people, the policy, and the harm the Trump Administration is doing is steeped in white supremacy.
Today and every day, we honor the sovereignty of the Tribes who have lived here since time immemorial and celebrate their stewardship of this land. Thank you to the nine sovereign Tribes in Oregon, who keep us connected to the history of this land.
It’s so fitting that Oregon’s birthday falls on Valentine’s Day—there’s so much to love about our state!
Your voice and your peaceful protest WORKED.
Portland never needed or wanted guard troops, and this is welcome news.
No more ICE detention facilities in Oregon. HELL NO.
The Republican SAVE Act is a sinister ploy to deny millions of Americans their right to vote.
I’m a HELL NO.
Trump, Zeldin, and their corporate polluter donors are tripping over themselves to gut protections that keep our air, our water, and our communities safe.
They’re threatening YOUR health.
Don’t let this fly under the radar: this is a huge threat to our health, planet, and future.
Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed he cut contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. He lied.
Maintaining contact with someone involved in such horrific abuses—and lying about it—is a moral failure, and another reason Lutnick is unfit to serve.
He should resign.
Corruption on full display. The Grifter-in-Chief is eroding public trust and selling influence to line his own pockets.
We need to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act NOW.
Many of the challenges you face—from health care to high costs—come back to the poison of dark money in our elections.
It’s way past time we pass the DISCLOSE Act and get dark money OUT of our democratic system!!
