Republicans shut down the government to make sure that families like Lyn’s couldn’t afford their health care.
They created a health care crisis that will kick MILLIONS off their insurance.
I’m fighting like hell to protect health care for YOU and YOUR FAMILY.

DANGEROUS: Mainstream media—and even Fox—refused to sign Hegseth’s loyalty pledge and give up their right to actually report the news.
So now he’s filling the Pentagon “press corps” with propagandists. It’s a dark day.
Trump is destroying the People’s House to build a gold-plated vanity project.
I can’t imagine an image more indicative of the moment we’re in.
The destruction of the People's House is a metaphor for Trump's destruction of government by and for the people.
Trump's authoritarian tyranny is here.
Ring the alarm bells!
Let's save our republic!

We just can’t let that happen.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
We need real fighters to keep our democracy alive, and they look like @merkley.senate.gov. Thank you for holding the Senate floor for over 22 hours to stand against Trump’s authoritarianism. You make us proud.

"The longer you are in an authoritarian state, it becomes more and more entrenched. And so we have to fight it in every possible way."
Thank you @merkley.senate.gov for ringing the alarm bells and calling on us all to unite and fight back to defend our democracy 🔔🔔🔔
Thank you to everyone who tuned into this speech, and who is with me in this fight.
We're at a perilous moment, and we must continue to resist authoritarianism with all we have.
Thank you to everyone who was with me on the floor: Team Merkley staff, Capitol Police, floor staff, Senate pages, door keepers, parliamentarians, presiding officers, and my colleagues who took time out of their day to ask important questions.

Senator Merkley has held the Senate floor all night—and he’s still going. He’s holding the floor for our healthcare. Our economy. Our rights. Our democracy.

This is what's at stake.

Trump's chaotic tariffs and the Republicans' Big, Ugly BETRAYAL are stretching small businesses to the max.

With the Republican Big, Beautiful BETRAYAL of a bill, Main Street is now Pain Street for small businesses.

With Republicans it's always the same strategy: Families lose, billionaires win.
