I was proud to stand alongside @wyden.senate.gov, @repbonamici.bsky.social, and all of you incredible leaders. Together, we will continue to shine a light through the darkness and speak out against injustices. It’s your stories that power this fight.
Juneteenth is an opportunity to celebrate the emancipation of Black Americans, but it’s also a reminder of how much work is needed to achieve true equity. As long as I have the honor of representing Oregon in the Senate, that's just what I'll fight to do.
Keep in mind public land is land owned BY YOU, the taxpayer. Republicans want to sell it off so they can pay for their tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history to help cut taxes for the richest people in the country....all without hearings, debate or public input." wilderness.org/articles/med...
The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.
The man accused of shooting two Minnesota Dems allegedly found their addresses online. That has prompted some lawmakers to call for tighter oversight on how personal info is shared online.
The budget reconciliation bill passed by the House would impose new work requirements to qualify for SNAP. It "would drastically, negatively impact out family," says Tea Church, a single mom who lives in The Dalles, Oregon.
As the Senate’s resident privacy hawk I have to recommend against giving Donald Trump your most sensitive health data
The company owned by the family of the President of the United States is getting into the mobile phone business. In September, the Trump Org will launch Trump Mobile, offering a $499 smartphone with a $47.45/month plan & a "Telehealth & Pharmacy Benefit.”
This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.
This was a targeted political assassination. Every single Republican needs to condemn this violence before more people end up dead.
Trump's vanity birthday parade masquerading as a tribute to the troops is offensive and a wasteful use of taxpayer dollars. We should be using that money to feed hungry kids, pay for new roads and bridges, and provide better health care to our veterans.
Billy Long is confirmed as IRS Commissioner. "It's one corruption bombshell after another with former Congressman Billy Long. Fake tax credits. Scam tax advice. Shadowy political donations that went straight in his pocket. Promises of personal favors. .... " said Sen. Ron Wyden.
In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.
Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)
WYDEN: The joint committee found out that millionaires will get tax breaks of a quarter million dollars. Do you think it's more important that 2m hungry kids have food? BESSENT: You're playing a game of semantics W: Why don't you just answer the question? B: Why don't you ask an honest question?
