This is really what it comes down to.

TUNE IN: I’m holding the Senate floor to protest Trump’s grave threats to democracy. We cannot pretend this is normal.

Republicans are exploding the cost of YOUR health insurance.
Troops are not wanted or needed in Portland.
Let's be clear: Trump’s sole goal is to stoke violence to justify tightening his authoritarian grip.
This fight continues to protect our community.

Portlanders are protesting with joy and whimsy. The only violence is the violence the Trump Administration is trying to incite.
Portland isn’t taking the bait.
ICE is targeting our communities and denying people their basic rights, including the right to legal representation.
This is illegal, immoral, and authoritarian.
We must not let the Trump Administration get away with trampling on due process.
Republicans own this shutdown.
Here’s the Republican vision: Families lose, billionaires win.
Democrats are standing firm for a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.
Republicans:
Gutted health care for 15 million Americans.
Slashed child nutrition benefits.
Added $30 TRILLION to the debt.
Why? Tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
And now they’ve shut down the government to avoid fixing THEIR MESS.
Trump wants to unleash the “full force” of the military on Portland—trying to stoke violence to justify tightening his authoritarian grip. He’s spewing lies and unleashing brutality on Portland.
Portland is responding with peace and whimsy.
House Speaker Mike Johnson directed House Republicans to flee D.C. and won’t swear in Representative-elect Grijalva because he’s terrified of releasing the Epstein files.
The American people want and deserve transparency and justice.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Jackie Merlos represents the best of Oregon. Today, she had a hearing on her immigration case. We have fought with everything we have to reunite her with her children and end Trump’s cruelty.
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House.
They shut down the government to slash YOUR health care.
Portland protests with peace and whimsy.
There's a name for unidentified security forces throwing protesters into unmarked vans at the direction of an authoritarian government: fascism.
Senate Democrats supported the amendment.
50 Senate Republicans opposed it....so it failed.
Tells you a lot.
I led an amendment with @wyden.senate.gov to require federal military and law enforcement agents to display their agency and name or badge number at protests.
Trump said a shutdown can be “good.” HUH?!
Let’s be clear: the government is shut down right now because Republicans want to take YOUR health care away.
Republicans gutted health care, cut child nutritional benefits, and exploded the debt by $30 TRILLION.
And all for what? To fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
Trump slashed tax credits that millions of working families rely on to afford health care.
Now he’s chosen to shut down the government rather than address the crisis he created.
In solidarity with our federal workers, I’ve asked for my pay to be withheld for the duration of the shutdown.
