The Everglades internment camp threatens human rights, due process, Tribal interests and this sensitive environment.
@merkley.senate.gov and I led 60+ Democrats to demand transparency and answers from DHS. abcnews.go.com/US/democrati...
@wassermanschultz.house.gov and I teamed up to demand answers from the Trump Administration on the cruel and dangerous Alligator Alcatraz facility—an independent, unaccountable detention system that threatens human rights and due process for migrants.
Voting by mail protects the right to vote.
I'll do all I can to make it an option everywhere.
Hell No. Folks in red and blue states alike—including Oregon—have been voting by mail for years. It’s convenient, secure, and counters corrupt Election Day tactics–like understaffing precinct voting centers–designed to obstruct voting in targeted communities.

What the hell is a “Pocket Rescission”?
Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov explains how the Trump Administration may use this illegal tactic to repeal funds Congress has already approved, putting families at risk across the country.
Last month, we passed a bill to ban congressional stock trading out of a Senate committee—the first step toward this becoming law.
I’ve been sounding the alarm for years on this. It’s way past time we got this done!
@lujan.senate.gov and I introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act because the American people deserve the truth about Epstein and those connected to him.
Republicans BLOCKED it.
We need to stop Big Pharma’s price gouging in its tracks and protect patients from sky high Rx drug prices!
That’s why I wrote the End Price Gouging for Medications Act—we need to get this passed!

Trump's Big, Betrayal of a Bill, plus his disastrous tariffs, will make 90% of families worse off through higher prices and slashed programs.
His entire economic plan is families lose, billionaires win.
See for yourself. ⬇️

Republicans voted to rip health care and food assistance away from millions of people and to ADD $3.4 TRILLION to the debt, all so billionaires could get a massive tax break. Terrible.

🚨New CBO Analysis Confirms Republicans’ Big Ugly Law Steals from the Poor, Gives to the Ultra-Rich

Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov and @democrats.senate.gov are fighting like hell to reverse the Republicans’ devastating cuts to rural health care in their Big, Ugly Betrayal of a bill.
Trump sending the National Guard to Washington, D.C. is a frighteningly clear escalation of his efforts to push us into an authoritarian strongman state.
As he tests the limits of his power, I’ll fight against attacks on D.C. home rule every step of the way.

Trump said over and over again that he wouldn’t touch Social Security, but his Big, Betrayal of a bill is running the Trust Fund dry.
Workers will see their hard-earned benefits depleted while Trump hands another tax break to billionaires.
Members of Congress are here to serve the public, not pad their stock portfolios. It’s long past time we banned congressional trading.
We have momentum on our side—let’s get this done!
In the 60 years since the Voting Rights Act became law, attacks on our freedom to vote have been constant: GOP state legislatures chipping away at voting access, and SCOTUS gutting the VRA in 2013.
I’m fighting to restore the VRA and protect the fundamental right to vote!
Solar For All connects families across the country with the affordable, renewable energy we need to power the future. It’s a critical program, and I’ll fight to protect it.
🚨 The Trump Administration wants to rip funding away from our communities—funding that’s already been approved by Congress and signed into law.
