Another day, another Trump family scandal. The grift never ends.
The American people deserve answers about why a Putin-linked Russian oligarch spent gobs of money on Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding.

Slavery should be illegal, no exceptions.
That’s why @booker.senate.gov, @repnikema.bsky.social, and I are fighting to remove the Slavery Clause from our Constitution—which STILL allows for slavery “as a punishment for crime.”
A ban on slavery can’t come with a loophole.
HUGE NEWS: the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s plan to restrict vote by mail.
Vote by mail is a safe, secure system—and I’ll keep fighting to protect it!
Tragic news. We’re in debt to all of the wildland firefighters working long hours in dangerous conditions to keep our communities safe.
My thoughts are with the firefighter’s loved ones, fellow firefighters, and friends in the wake of this huge loss.
I requested this report last August.
It makes clear what we already knew: the Trump Administration’s Alligator Alcatraz jail is horrific.
“Does not align with standards for humane treatment” is an understatement. It's shameful.
Under the “leadership” of Zeldin and Trump the EPA is selling out YOUR health to line polluter pockets.
They’re ignoring science, the effects of climate chaos we’re already feeling, and the people they serve. Just sickening.
Big thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on protecting free speech, rooting our dark money, and reforming the Supreme Court during my “Stop the Corruption” town hall in Medford.
Together, we can restore government that works for the people, not just the powerful and privileged.
Folks are concerned about the unprecedented level of corruption we’re seeing in our country right now. Thank you to everyone who attended my town hall with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social in Springfield to talk about dark money, rooting out corruption, our path forward.
Shanah Tova! Wishing our Jewish friends and neighbors celebrating Rosh Hashanah in Oregon and around the world a joyous and sweet new year.
We will never forget the unprecedented acts of terrorism carried out 25 years ago on September 11, 2001.
We honor the firefighters and first responders who ran toward danger and grieve for all those we lost. I'm thinking of all those feeling the sharp pain of loss today.
Thank you to everyone who came out for my anti-corruption town hall in Portland with @repdexteror.bsky.social!
The top 3 issues folks raised: profiting off the presidency, the corrupted Supreme Court, and the silencing of free speech. Restoring government by and for the people will take all of us.
Lonnie Bunch’s legacy will be standing up for the Smithsonian’s independence and dedication to telling the whole American story.
Thank you to @warren.senate.gov, @vanhollen.senate.gov, and @smith.senate.gov for joining me to expose how Trump’s corruption puts America in jeopardy.
Full video out now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw-G...
America is in jeopardy because of Trump’s mile-deep swamp of corruption. We dove into just how bad it really is.
Full video coming soon.
Today is #988Day, a reminder that mental health support is out there and that you are not alone. Whatever you’re facing, help is just three digits away.
Call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org.
Slavery should be illegal—no exceptions. As we celebrate Labor Day, we must also recognize the Slavery Loophole: five words in our Constitution that still allow for slavery “as a punishment for crime.” @repnikema.bsky.social and I are fighting to #EndTheException once and for all!
The 2020 Labor Day fires destroyed communities, claimed the lives of 11 Oregonians, and choked our state with dangerous smoke.
Today we honor the firefighters and first responders who worked long hours to protect us and hold in our hearts those still rebuilding.
Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate the workers and labor leaders who paved the way for better hours, benefits, and safer working conditions for all.
Our communities are stronger because of you—and that’s worth celebrating!
It’s not enough to raise alarm about Trump’s authoritarian agenda—we need to act now to stop it.
That’s why I put together the For Our Republic Act—a comprehensive plan to oppose authoritarianism in America, drawing on the expertise of senators from across the country.
Diesel hit a record price in the U.S.—an average of $5.85 per gallon—thanks to Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
When the price of diesel goes up, the price of almost everything, from groceries to clothing, goes up.
You and your family are paying for Trump's war of choice.
