Secretary Burgum is defying Congress to hide the status of renewable energy projects from the public.
The Trump Administration is waging an all-out war on renewable energy—I’m demanding answers.

I'm about to deliver my closing remarks in opposition to a measure that would allow toxic copper-nickel sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters.
Tune in.

Merkley to Vought: "I think perhaps the reason you didn't want to include deficit numbers is you didn't want to draw attention to the fact we're in a situation where we're not in a major recession, and yet we're continuing to drive this nation deeper and deeper into debt."

MERKLEY: Would I be in the ballpark to say we've already spent at least $50b?
VOUGHT: I wouldn't want to make a characterization of that
MERKLEY: As the most knowledgeable person in executive branch on the budget, I would expect you to have pretty good numbers, so I'm disappointed in that answer
I support @sanders.senate.gov’s efforts to stop the sale of bombs and bulldozers to Israel as the Netanyahu government levels entire towns and targets communities in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank.
Republicans want to let a foreign mining company pollute the pristine Boundary Waters and kick the door open to selling out our public lands. And they’ll violate the Congressional Review Act to do it.
I’m a HELL NO.
The Senate just voted on a war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran.
REPUBLICANS BLOCKED IT.
It’s clear where their priorities lie—and it’s not with the American people.
Today, the Senate votes on war powers resolutions to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
I will vote YES—as I have repeatedly.
I encourage my Republican colleagues to join me. We know this is wrong—it’s not a partisan issue.
We must defend our Constitution, which assigns the question of war to Congress, not the President.
I introduced a War Powers Resolution to do just that. Democrats have been clear: we will keep voting on WPR resolutions until we pass one.
Trump’s illegal war with Iran is costing us 1 to 2 BILLION dollars EVERY SINGLE DAY. This while Trump claims we can’t afford to help Americans with health care or child care. Just despicable.
I just introduced a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
Democrats are sending a clear message: we’re going to keep voting on these resolutions until they pass.
Republicans need to fulfill their oath to the Constitution and vote YES.
Hungarians resoundingly embraced democracy. A real win for the democratic process!
The SAVE America Act is a desperate attempt to rig the next election by making it difficult for whole groups of American citizens to vote: students, married women, Tribal communities, and the less affluent.
Republicans are trying to steal YOUR freedom to vote.
First, Trump threatened to slaughter Iranian civilians if the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t opened.
Now, he’s closing the Strait himself.
Congress needs to act now to rein in Trump’s ego-fueled, illegal war.
Trump’s lawless federal agents are ripping families apart—leaving kids without their parents. It’s cruel and inhumane, and I’ll continue to fight to protect communities in Oregon and across the country.
Trump's Forest Service “reorganization” is really a plan to gut the agency ahead of wildfire season and keep folks in Oregon and across the country from having a say in how we protect public lands.
HELL NO! I'll fight this as lead Dem on the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee.
First, Trump got the compromised Supreme Court to make him immune from criminal charges for actions during his presidency.
Then, Trump flexed pardon power, freeing Jan. 6th insurrectionists.
The whole Executive Branch is operating as if they are above the law and Constitution.
Trump is stealing funds that rural libraries and museums need to fund another vanity project.
Your tax dollars are being ripped out of your community to fund a monument to Trump’s ego. Hell no!
The White House plans to spend $15 million in National Endowment for the Humanities funds to finance the construction of a gold-embossed arch at the entrance to Washington’s Memorial Bridge.

Israel’s attacks killed more than 200 civilians in Lebanon and are putting a fragile ceasefire at risk. If we want lasting peace, all parties need to abide by the ceasefire agreement, including Israel.
The two-week ceasefire is welcome news, but Congress needs to reconvene and pass war powers resolutions NOW to rein in Trump’s illegal war—as I’ve been pushing for since the attacks began.
