You can’t get ready after a fire starts, which is why I worked with @wyden.senate.gov, @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, @bynum.house.gov, and @salinas.house.gov to make sure communities in Oregon have the funding they need to invest in wildfire resilience.

Americans want affordable gas, groceries, and child care.
What are Republicans pushing?
$1,000,000,000 for Trump’s ballroom boondoggle.
HELL NO. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump has sold access and peddled his crypto scheme to rake in BILLIONS of dollars.
It’s corruption on full display—and it’s why we need to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act.
The Trump Administration could not be more out of touch with working people.
Yes, Americans are spending more—and sometimes relying on credit cards to do it—because Trumpflation has shot costs THROUGH THE ROOF.
He’s talking about pain that families are feeling with a smirk.
Trump is determined to complete his gold-plated ballroom boondoggle however he can—even if taxpayers have to foot the bill.
HELL NO.
BIG: PeaceHealth listened to community leaders and providers and reversed the decision to outsource emergency department staffing. This is a significant win for the Lane County community who relies on PeaceHealth for critical health care.
On National Nurses Day, we thank nurses in Oregon and across the country for keeping our communities healthy!
My wife, Mary, is a nurse, and I’ve seen firsthand the crucial care, support, and advocacy nurses provide patients and their families each day.
PeaceHealth plays a key role in the health of folks across Lane County, and proposed physician staffing changes across three emergency departments are concerning.
@wyden.senate.gov, @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, and I are calling for transparency for physicians and the community.

NEW: Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov's Statement on Republicans’ Bill Gifting ICE, Border Patrol Billions While Ignoring Middle Class Families
First, Trump went around Congress to demolish part of the White House to build his gold-plated ballroom.
Now, he’s hellbent on getting the project done any way he can—even if taxpayers have to foot the bill. HELL NO!
Instead of waging wars overseas that make us weaker and poorer, let’s invest here at home in the foundations that make families stronger and wealthier—housing, health care, education, and good-paying jobs.
Big thanks to everyone who joined me for town hall conversations in Umatilla, Morrow, and Wheeler counties. Hearing firsthand about the challenges folks face and their ideas for our state and our country shapes the work I do in the Senate.

NEW DFP Insights from @merkley.senate.gov:
“For Trump to restock our munitions stockpiles, Congress will need to approve billions in new spending.
That gives Congress power to enforce the Constitution, so the president does not launch more wars without congressional authorization.”
What happened to Trump’s billionaire buddies footing this bill for his $400,000,000 ballroom? Get loud about the fact that Senate Republicans are now proposing that TAXPAYERS pay for Trump’s vanity project!
Great to meet with folks in Baker, Union, and Wallowa counties for town hall conversations! The ideas that folks bring to these meetings are critical to shaping my work on behalf of our state in the U.S. Senate.
Thank you to everyone who came out to my town hall conversations in Malheur, Harney, and Grant counties! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me on how to make our state and our country a better place.
ICYMI: Trump now wants YOU to bail out his $400,000,000 ballroom boondoggle—and Congressional Republicans are going along with it. HELL NO!!
On May Day, we honor leaders of the labor movement who charted a path toward social and economic justice. Let’s celebrate all working people in Oregon and across the country whose vital contributions to our communities and economy are too often overlooked. Happy May Day!
Today marks 60 days of Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran.
Will any of my Republican colleagues—who claim they were waiting for this 60 day deadline—join me in reining in this illegal war with a War Powers Resolution?
