We need to end U.S. complicity in ethnic cleansing, starvation, and displacement in Gaza.

Gutting Planned Parenthood funding means it’ll be harder to patients to access the care they need, from breast cancer screenings to annual checkups, to reproductive care.
All to bend the knee to Trump and MAGA extremists.
Republicans AGAIN blocked the release of the Epstein Files.
Democrats voted to release the files.
Republicans blocked justice and accountability for Epstein’s victims and transparency for the American people.
Here’s the message from Trump and Burgum:
A GREEN LIGHT to sell off our public lands to industry.
A RED LIGHT to anyone who cares about safeguarding our natural treasures for future generations.
HELL NO!
This sums it up: “No president in U.S. history has used his position of power to profit as immensely as Trump.”
Trump’s massive corruption is on full display: lining his pockets by the billions as he slashes your health care and raises your bills.

Communities across the country are sounding the alarm: Trump’s health care cuts are going to hurt millions of Americans.
Republicans created a health care crisis: skyrocketing premiums, rural hospitals closing, folks kicked off insurance.
Democrats want to fix it.
Trump and Rs control Congress and the White House—they'd rather shut down the government than fix health care for you and your family.
The vulnerable now face widespread famine. This is a war crime. We must press for a ceasefire, massive influx of aid, and the return of all hostages.
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.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
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!
