“Oregonians’ rights are being threatened – whether it’s attempts to access private voter information, tariffs impacting working families, or the actions of federal agents in our streets. Our values are about respect, fairness, transparency, and trust, and these values guide us every day. We’re proud to work for liberty, justice, and opportunity for all Oregonians.”

Great to join my AG colleagues on the Pantsuits & Lawsuits podcast! We talked about how we’re fighting for Oregon values, and all the great work we’re doing that’s not always covered by the media — like the work of our frontline child support staff.

If you get a text message saying you have unpaid tolls or traffic fines, it may be a scam.

The Oregon Department of Transportation is warning about a phishing scam going around, where unsolicited text messages pretend to be the Oregon DMV or Oregon Dept. of Transportation.

#orpol #scamalert #dmv
WATCH OUT FOR DMV TEXT SCAMS: Tips to avoid "unpaid toll" text phishing scams Recognize this scam: - These scam texts are sent from an unknown phone number and typically start with “Evasion Notice for Oregon Traffic Court” or “Final Notice – Toll Violation (Oregon). - Messages claim you have an unpaid traffic fine or toll balance and demand payment by a certain date to avoid enforcement actions and penalties. - Texts may cite a phony Oregon State Administrative Code and urge you to click on a fraudulent URL that may seem valid because it includes ODOT, DMV or oregon.gov. Screenshot of phishing text via the Oregon Department of Transportation. Text begins with "URGENT TOLL NOTICE."

This week, we filed comments opposing a new proposed rule from the federal government that would roll back fuel economy standards that keep Oregonians safe and put money in the hands of oil companies – instead of consumers. #orpol
AG Rayfield opposes rollback of fuel economy standards that keep Oregonians safe & save Oregonians money AG Rayfield and a multistate coalition have filed comments in opposition to a new proposal by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that would weaken fuel economy standards for passenger cars and light trucks. The coalition argues that the proposed rule would put money in the pocket of oil companies rather than Oregonians, and hurt consumers and the planet. “Drivers shouldn’t have to pay more at the pump as they’re already struggling to afford groceries and bills while oil companies get a windfall. This is the just latest way the Trump administration is attempting to increase the cost of living for working families.”

Threats that create chaos and fear and discourage people from voting are absolutely unacceptable.

“Any threat that creates chaos and fear and discourages people from voting is unacceptable and undermines the integrity of our elections. We’ve already pushed back against this kind of federal overreach and won – and we will do it again if necessary.” - Attorney General Dan Rayfield “Armed, untrained, masked agents intimidating citizens exercising their freedom to vote is not normal. It’s not American. And it’s not okay. In Oregon, we will not tolerate voter intimidation. We’ll use every tool we have to stop it, and we’ll win.” - Secretary of State Tobias Read Democracy Docket article with the headline: "Steve Bannon says ICE will 'surround the polls' as Trump doubles down on taking over elections

Yesterday, a federal judge ordered an important check on the excessive use of force we saw at the Portland ICE facility this past weekend.

Peaceful protesters should never be met with tear gas – in Oregon, or anywhere.

We just announced a $17.85 million settlement with Bausch and Lannett to resolve allegations that the companies engaged in long-running conspiracies to inflate & manipulate generic prescription drug prices.

This settlement is about accountability & fighting for working families.
AG Rayfield announces $17.85m settlement to bring down the cost of prescription drugs for working families Today, AG Rayfield and a coalition of 48 states & territories announced two settlements with Lannett Company, Inc. and Bausch Health US, LLC and Bausch Health Americas, Inc., totaling $17.85 million, to resolve allegations that the companies engaged in widespread, long-running conspiracies to artificially inflate and manipulate prices, reduce competition, and unreasonably restrain trade with regard to numerous generic prescription drugs. “For many working families, generic drugs are the difference between being able to afford their medication and going without it. When drug companies collude to raise prices and shut out competition, they made those essential medications more expensive for families who depend on them. This settlement is about accountability – and about putting people over profits.”

OregonLive headline: Anti-ICE protest draws massive crowd, feds deploy tear gas The right to peacefully protest is fundamental to who we are as a democracy. It is protected under the Constitution. Oregonians should be able to show up, speak out, and do so safely, without fear that they will be met with excessive force.

We are publicly condemning the U.S. DOJ’s attempt to coerce Minnesota into sharing private SNAP & Medicaid data and voter information.

We recently challenged similar actions here in Oregon – and were successful – and we will continue to stand firm against unlawful federal interference. #orpol
Photo of AG Dan Rayfield with the headline "AG Rayfield condemns U.S. DOJ threats against Minnesota; defends privacy & safety". Photo credit Adam Bacher. “This goes to show that Trump administration will do whatever it can to get its hands on sensitive voter information. Just last week, the judge in Oregon’s case learned about AG Bondi’s letter and was so alarmed that he immediately convened a hearing to demand the Administration explain its motives. The judge rightly dismissed the federal lawsuit seeking our state’s unredacted voter rolls. No state – whether it’s Oregon or Minnesota – should be strong-armed into handing over private data.” What happened: On January 24, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz demanding that Minnesota turn over sensitive Medicaid & SNAP data and give the federal government access to Minnesota voter information, in exchange for the withdrawal of federal agents from the state. Our coalition argues that these demands intrude on state sovereignty and threaten the constitutional balance of power between the states and the federal government.
