I’m pushing for rigorous oversight of TSA’s facial recognition system—the building blocks for a national surveillance state.

Remember: you can opt out!

In the face of the damage that wildfires, hurricanes, landslides, tornados, and flooding have wrought on national parks, wildlife refuges, and national forests across the country during the past two years, Senator Merkley made the case for restoration and repair of public lands and infrastructure during a Senate Appropriations Committee Hearing titled, “A Review of Disaster Funding Needs.” Buildings, roads, bridges, communications systems, and other public infrastructure that local communities rely on have been damaged or destroyed during extreme weather events, hurting local economies and harming treasured parks and forests that have millions of visitors each year.

I co-sponsored Senator Sanders' Joint Resolutions of Disapproval because the U.S. cannot continue to send offensive weapons to Netanyahu’s government as it fuels a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
 
No bombs. More aid.

Senator Merkley spoke in support of Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) that would block U.S. offensive arm shipments to Israel amid tens of thousands of deaths and restrictions on humanitarian aid entering Gaza.

The three JRDs, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and cosponsored by Merkley, are expected to come up for a vote in the U.S. Senate this week.

I wrote a bill to kick hedge funds out of our housing market, and I’m fighting to get it passed.

Houses in our communities should be homes for people, not a profit center for Wall Street.

Sinister: billionaire corporations are buying up health care facilities—clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, and more—and using sick people to turn healthy profits.

I’m fighting to put an end to this clear corporate greed!

Let’s call “after action” gifts what they really are: bribes.

They shouldn’t be legal—that’s why we need to pass my Stop Corrupt Gratuities Act!
