Pete Hegseth was unqualified from the start. Each day he continues to prove just how dangerous and unfit he is to serve as Secretary of Defense and keep our country safe. It’s past time he resign, and each day Republicans remain silent puts American families at risk.

I interviewed Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov for the latest @ocppnews.bsky.social Policy for the People podcast. We talked about the federal budget, taxing the rich, and protecting Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that support working Oregonians www.buzzsprout.com/1802797/epis...

Before prices go even higher and millions of working people lose their jobs, Congress must stop this tariff chaos. I'm pushing a bipartisan resolution with @wyden.senate.gov to end Donald Trump's worldwide trade war. It's an immediate response that forces a simple majority vote.

If there's one thing I've learned during my time in Congress, it's that when you come for people's health care, you'll have hell to pay. We have a long way to go, but keep speaking out. Keep making noise. Keep demanding accountability. It's the only way we can stop them.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 7(source)
This is a massive sign that Republicans are feeling the heat on their plans to gut Medicaid. That's only possible because of the noise you guys have been making. They know their plan to kick people off health care isn't a popular one, and the division is starting to show.

I wanted to share this news from over the weekend: During Senate Republicans' all night voting marathon on their billionaire bailout, I offered an amendment to protect Medicaid. It didn't pass, but 3 Republicans voted for it. Here's why that's important:

Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

Madras ended up with about 125 demonstrators, including a forest service biologist who could lose his job, a woman who relies on Medicaid to pay for caregivers and a first-time protester with the sign “my tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government.” #orpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/04/05/m...

"They claim their tax bill is just all unicorns and rainbows. They’ll say everybody is going to benefit from a tax cut and typical families will get the help they need... It’s just not true." @wyden.senate.gov on the Senate GOP budget blueprint passed this morning.
U.S. Senate GOP wins approval of sprawling budget blueprint, shipping it to the House • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Senate Republicans approved a resolution to aid in maintaining 2017 tax cuts and pave the way to add nearly $6 trillion to the deficit.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 3(source)
Republicans are about to give more tax breaks to billionaires and pay for it by gutting child care for thousands of families. Today I'm introducing legislation with @warren.senate.gov to invest in child care. Because Congress should be focused on helping families not billionaires.
