My trip to Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, and Egypt with @vanhollen.senate.gov made clear that the Netanyahu government is pursuing a strategy of forced displacement by reducing homes to rubble and more deprivation of food, water, and medicine.

🚨@merkley.senate.gov and I just released our report detailing how the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The U.S. is complicit and the world must stop it.

Today @merkley.senate.gov and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East.
Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here:
We will never be able to repay our debt to the firefighters and first responders who ran toward danger on September 11, 2001.
Today, we reflect on those we lost that day and in the 24 years since and grieve with all those feeling the deep pain of loss.
The Trump family raked in $5,000,000,000 from its crypto con last week.
This is CORRUPTION on full display—and it’s why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act.
NO WAY should elected officials and their families be profiting from crypto schemes.
Mail-in voting is safe, simple, and popular—1 in 3 voters cast their ballot by mail.
In the face of Trump’s attacks on our freedom to vote, I will continue fighting to protect and expand access to voting by mail!
Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment is a grave injustice. The U.S. must do all it can to secure his release, and I will continue standing with all those fighting for their fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong.
Free Jimmy Lai!
MAGA extremists on the Supreme Court sided with wannabe-dictator Trump to trample on our Constitutional freedoms.
This is a dangerous and shameful decision that pushes us further into an authoritarian strongman state.
Release the Epstein Files. NOW.

Trump’s personal wealth has grown by over $3 BILLION since entering public office—even as he’s cut health care and food assistance for millions of families.
While rural hospitals close and kids go hungry, Trump is using the Presidency to enrich himself.
Voting by mail is convenient, secure, and helps counter attempts to corrupt Election Day—like understaffing voting centers in certain precincts—designed to obstruct voting in targeted communities.
Trump’s plan to kill vote by mail is a power grab, plain and simple. HELL NO!
@wyden.senate.gov, @repdexteror.bsky.social, and I have a message for Trump and MAGA extremists trying to end vote by mail: HELL NO!

Why stop there? Let’s rename all Depts after what Trump is inflicting on America.
Dept of HHS -> Dept of Hepatitis and Human Suffering
Dept of VA -> Dept of Veteran Abandonment
Dept of Education -> Dept of Erasure of History
Dept of Commerce -> Dept of Corruption
Just a start.
Wright is Wrong.
Climate change denier Chris Wright knows science is not on his side, so he’s taking a page out of Big Tobacco’s book: handpick phony researchers and cherry-pick data....all to fit Trump’s planet-killing agenda.
Sloppy and destructive.
Republicans in Congress passed a Big, Ugly BETRAYAL that rolls out the red carpet for the privileged and powerful and rolls in the red tape for everyone else. I was in Eugene to talk about the impacts for Oregonians.
Powerful men abused and exploited underage girls, and the Trump Administration is trying to cover it up.
We need to pass @lujan.senate.gov’s and my Epstein Files Transparency Act NOW to release the files!

A new name is not going to fix ripping health care away from 15 MILLION people to fund tax breaks for billionaires and billionaire corporations.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
What's on brand is Trump thinking a shiny, new name will make Americans forget that Republicans cut health care for 15 million people.
No matter what they call it, Trump and Republicans betrayed working families.
And that can't be rebranded.
www.politico.com/live-updates...
Hint for Republicans: the name isn’t the issue.
It’s the fact that you’re selling Americans out—kicking 15+ million people off their health care, jacking up the cost of utility bills, and taking food off of the plates of hungry kids.
That’s the issue.
Everyone agrees that trucks are far more affordable and efficient in delivering food and medicine.
But Israel has placed so many obstacles on the delivery of aid by trucks, Jordan is using airdrops to help address the starvation.
We need many more trucks entering Gaza — and we need them NOW.
