I stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers. Starbucks rakes in MILLIONS every year. The very least they owe workers are fair wages, a fair contract, and an END to illegal union-busting.

I'm proud to have earned endorsements from Senators Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, and Martin Heinrich.

They know what it means to stand up to Trump, and I'm ready to join them in the Senate.

Oregon's senators demand Starbucks 'stop union-busting' and negotiate with striking workers Oregon's U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden signed on to a multi-state letter demanding that Starbucks "stop its illegal union-busting campaign."

Solidarity forever!

Epstein files become a fiasco of Trump's own making Trump's reaction to the Epstein scandal is window into how he handles major controversies that invite criticism about his leadership.

Release the Epstein Files.

I voted HELL NO on a CR deal that betrays millions of people who rallied, organized, and voted to save health care for 20 million Americans. Giving into a bully does nothing to stop him. I’ll keep fighting against Trump’s authoritarianism and attempts to gut community resources.

Shameful. Trump is on a crusade to take food off the tables of families in Oregon and around the country.

I’m fighting like hell to protect the SNAP benefits folks count on.

Federal judge permanently bars Trump administration from deploying troops to Portland A final ruling on National Guard deployment to Portland is expected on Friday.

A victory for rule of law and for our communities in Oregon.

Phenomenal Blue energy! A blue pulsar!

America has awoken and recognized the Trump nightmare is all too real.

We reject his goal of making America sicker and poorer. We reject his authoritarian takeover.

Let's save our Republic!!

Ring the Alarm Bells: Authoritarianism Isn’t Coming, It’s Here Now Trump’s authoritarian playbook has 10 rules. He’s following every single one of them.

Trump wants us to believe that Portland is full of chaos and riots because if he can get the American people to believe there are riots, he can say there's a rebellion and use that as an excuse to tighten his authoritarian grip.

We need to stay strong and not take Trump's bait!

Oregon senator’s overnight speech to protest Trump’s policies breaks a record U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley started his floor speech Tuesday night to draw attention to President Donald Trump's "authoritarian" policies.

From deploying the National Guard in our cities to defying court orders and shutting down the government to attack health care, Trump is testing how far he can go.

I'm doing everything I can to fight back to protect our communities and our We the People government.

Sen. Merkley: The UAE, they buy $2 billion of the Trump coin and invest it in Binance. In exchange, Trump says, 'those high-end AI chips, we'll give them to you.' Then there is this pardon of the Binance founder. As soon as he is pardoned, he uses his company to promote Trump's personal profit

As the Trump Administration continues to target Oregon, @tinakotek.bsky.social is the leader we need to have our back and stand up for our communities.

Thank you for holding the line in Oregon, Gov. Kotek!

Business as usual isn’t an option, so the Trump resistance is getting creative Jen Psaki on the creative ways Americans are fighting Trump's autocratic efforts, from Jeff Merkley's 22-hour Senate speech to an anti-ICE Portland wedding.

🎯 Exactly right. We can’t have business as usual with an authoritarian in the White House.

That’s why I’m ringing the alarm bells! πŸ””πŸ””πŸ””

The fight isn’t overβ€”we need to keep standing together to resist Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.

Democrats are fighting to protect YOUR health care.

Republicans shut down the government rather than fix the mess THEY made of Medicaid with their Big, Ugly BETRAYAL of a budget bill.
