These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people" -- Karoline Leavitt turns reality upside down, then gets mad at an AP reporter after he pushes back

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

You know what's definitely not part of the American Dream? All of us paying higher taxes on food and other necessities so billionaires like Secretary Bessent can get a bigger tax handout.

Bessent defends Trump tariffs: ‘Access to cheap goods’ is not the ‘American Dream’

“International economic relations that do not work for the American people must be reexamined,” he said at the Economic Club of New York.

AARP sent a message to their members today. I encourage everyone who received it to take action. Washington responds when seniors speak up, and now is the time to get loud.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govMar 6(source)

If you're a member of AARP receiving Social Security I encourage you to call them and ask them to stand up to Trump and Musk when they come for the earned benefits of their members.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govMar 6(source)

Republicans would rather let DOGE mess with your hard-earned Social Security checks than grow a spine and stand up to Elon.

DOGE is driving Social Security cuts and will make mistakes, acting head says privately

The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner said members of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team are outsiders who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the agency’s programs.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govMar 5(source)

Trump didn't say a word about health care last night. What is he hiding? I spent two hours hearing from Oregonians terrified about what Republican cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will mean for them. When you come for people's health care, you have hell to pay, and this time will be no different.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govMar 5(source)

Thank you to everyone who joined tonight's town hall and asked such thoughtful questions. Oregonians are terrified about what Trump's lawlessness means for them and for America. I'm focused on making sure Republicans will have to answer for how they're hurting you and your family.

Reminder that instead of attending Donald Trump's first address to Congress tonight I'll be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live at 6 PM PT. You don't need a Facebook account – or to be an Oregonian – to tune in. Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Senator Ron Wyden speaks TRUTH TO POWER on Social Security! WE ALL MUST FIGHT TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY. WE ALL MUST CALL OUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN A REPUBLICAN DISTRICT OR STATE! 202-224-3121

“Firing half of all Social Security workers will guarantee that seniors will stop seeing their earned benefits arrive on time and in full,” Wyden said. “Trump’s promises to protect Social Security are a sham, just like the rest of his actions since taking office. A plan like this will result in field office closures that will hit seniors in rural communities the hardest. The goal of this effort is to hollow out an agency that currently delivers retirement benefits with a 99.7% accuracy rate, and hand over the keys to private equity and grifters who want to pillage Social Security for all it’s worth.”

Wyden on why he's not attending Trump's speech tomorrow and instead is hosting a town hall: "We're not interested in hearing about the Donald Trump alternate reality."

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govMar 3(source)

This is just a game for Elon, but the consequences for families in Oregon and across the country are real and dire. His purge of the federal government is going to make life harder and more expensive for all of us.

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:
