Trump is jamming the news cycle full of awful things to distract us—but we can’t stop talking about the Epstein Files. I’m fighting to enforce the law and make the sure the full files are released.
Let’s be clear: the Trump Administration is trying to use absolutely every avenue it can to tighten its authoritarian grip. Jay Powell—whether you agree with him or not—remains steadfastly nonpartisan. We need to stand firm against Trump’s overreach and political retribution.

Health care costs are SKYROCKETING for more than 20 million Americans. Why? Because Trump and Republicans forced through tax breaks for billionaires—and left families across the country out in the cold.
Federal agents shot two people in East Portland. I’m demanding a full investigation that includes Oregon law enforcement—we can’t trust federal agencies to run a transparent and unbiased investigation. ICE needs to end their dangerous operations in Oregon NOW.
Thank you, @agdanrayfield.bsky.social. It’s absolutely critical that state and local officials are involved in any investigation that happens—we need accountability. We cannot trust the Trump Administration to provide a transparent and unbiased investigation.

BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews
AG Rayfield announces investigation into shooting involving federal agents 
in Portland
“We have been clear about our concerns with excessive use of force by federal agents in Portland and nationally. We have also been clear about our intent to investigate circumstances involving federal agents to ensure they are accountable to acting within the scope of their official duties. Today’s incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure that the rights and security of Oregonians are protected.”
The Oregon DOJ is opening a formal investigation into an incident in Portland in which two people were shot and injured during an encounter with federal agents. The investigation will look into whether any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority and will include witness interviews, video evidence, and other relevant materials. If evidence of criminal conduct is found, cases may be referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney for potential prosecution.
UPDATE: Senator Merkley is postponing his Yamhill, Polk, and Marion County town halls scheduled for Friday, January 9 so he can be present in Portland due to the shooting by federal agents of two individuals in East Portland.

There is no way we can trust anything coming from the Department of Homeland Security. They have been lying to the American people time after time. ICE needs to end their dangerous enforcement operations in Oregon now.
