Polls don’t vote. People do.
And no matter what the numbers say, turnout is the only metric that matters.

Sen. Wyden: “Millions of Americans are about to get clobbered with health care costs. Republicans won’t lift a finger.” They had time for a $5T tax bill, but not a single hearing on the real-world suffering folks face.

Do the fools in the White House think that sending goons to the streets of our cities to harass our neighbors would scare us into submission?

BREAKING: I just forced a vote with Senator Kaine to block the unauthorized boat strikes in the Caribbean.

In an important step forward, the vote was bipartisan, even if it fell two votes short.

I spoke at a Steering & Policy Committee hearing where I shared #OR06 constituents Conni and Steve's stories.

If Republicans do not extend the premium tax credits, Americans like Conni and Steve will face devastating impacts to their wallets.

To my Republican colleagues: do the right thing.

The Republican shutdown has furloughed 750,000 federal workers, limited millions’ food assistance, & created a full-blown health care crisis.

Yet Trump is using it as an opportunity to deploy the National Guard to Democratic cities & revoke funding for affordable energy projects in our communities.

Senator Jeff Merkley says what we all are thinking.

He says that the federal Government is faking a riot so that Trump can invoke the insurrection act or worse martial Law.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.

She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.
