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.

Americans don’t want Trump’s illegal war in Iran. He’s putting our troops in harm’s way, costing us BILLIONS, and stretching families to the limit at the gas pump.
The two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan is good news.
Any Trump order for U.S. forces to strike Iranian civilians would be a horrific violation of American values.
Trump's threat to bomb Iran "back to the stone age" and that "a whole civilization will die tonight" is 1000% out of sync with every moral code.
To the Republican leaders: call Congress back into session NOW to stop Trump's plan to slaughter civilians.
Trump’s SAVE America Act isn’t about keeping noncitizens from voting—it’s about keeping citizens from voting.
It’s a desperate attempt to rig the November election, and I’ll keep fighting like hell against it.
Thank you to everyone who came out to share your thoughts with me about how we can work together to strengthen communities across Oregon and our country during town halls in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties!
Trump just voted by mail—because he KNOWS it’s safe and secure!! But he’s trying to rip away YOUR ability to vote by mail. HELL NO!
To our military leaders, remember this: You are legally required to refuse orders to commit war crimes.
President Trump's profanity-laden Easter threat to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure—power plants and bridges—are the words of a frustrated and immoral madman. Many experts agree that such attacks would be war crimes under international law.
Happy Easter to everyone celebrating today in Oregon and around the world!
Great conversations during town halls in Klamath and Lake counties. Big thanks to everyone who attended and shared their thoughts with me about how to carry our state—and our country—forward.
The so-called “SAVE America Act” is little more than a thinly veiled attempt for Trump to cling to power by eroding access to the ballot box for Americans across the country. HELL NO!
Trump is exploding YOUR utility bills, pushing families in Oregon and across the country to the absolute limit.
And now he’s trying to cruelly rip away assistance that makes energy bills more affordable.
That’s not “America First.” It’s families last.
Trump is asking for a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget to fuel his illegal wars. HELL NO!
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
If Trump gets his $1.5 TRILLION defense budget, it would add $7 TRILLION to the national debt over 10 years.
And where are the “fiscal conservatives” who assured Americans the U.S. couldn’t possibly afford health care for working families? Cheering on his wasteful spending.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
This week, Trump told a room of faith leaders the U.S. can’t afford “to take care of day care,” because "we're fighting wars.”
Today, Trump’s Budget Proposal revealed a $232 MILLION cut to child care funding while the Pentagon would receive a massive $1.5 TRILLION budget.
