So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

Trump and his Mar-a-Lago “friends” can party like it’s the Roaring Twenties while tens of millions of Americans face hunger from cut food assistance. But we remember what happened to that “immune” bunch in 1929.

CNN says the Epstein & Trump-Epstein searches are down by 86% on Google. The conversation has shifted to Alaska & other topics just like Republicans wanted.

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.

Thank you, Senator Murray.
I'm on the Senate floor right now debating Trump's Big Ugly bill, and I really worry Americans do not fully realize just how bad it is.
Please help get the word out.
This is just SOME of what's in the bill (so far).

The GOP bill will also give America’s Gestapo, ICE, a bigger budget than the US Marines. These are HORRIBLE people with very twisted, sick priorities.

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.
On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).
On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:
Here, we have no kings.

Bravo, Sen. Wyden. More of this, please.
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:

If you are a constituent of a lawmaker of an upcoming People's Town Hall, submit your information here!
