Another update on the president who was going to lower prices "on Day 1" — now the housing market is starting to slide. With consumer confidence plummeting and building costs set to skyrocket because of his trade wars, Trump's economy of chaos is hurting American homeowners.

In his first 100 days, Trump targeted not only the universities driving global research but also the scientists, scholars, and students behind that progress—undermining America’s leadership in innovation and putting our future in science and discovery at risk.

I’m a HELL NO on the SAVE Act. Every eligible voter should have a voice in the big decisions that affect their life. The SAVE Act won’t safeguard elections—it will make it harder for MILLIONS of eligible voters to cast their ballots. This is modern day voter suppression, period.

Trump shouldn’t be allowed to engage in a crypto scheme to sell influence and enrich himself—that’s corruption on full display. We need to add the End Crypto Corruption Act to the GENUIS Act to stop this behavior from Trump and other elected officials! merkley.senate.gov/merkley-and-sc…

Absolutely shameful. Ā  Trump's trans military service ban hurts our military readiness, makes our military's recruitment challenges even worse and disrespects Americans who are brave enough to serve in uniform. Ā  This will make our military less lethal and Americans less safe.

The CFTC’s disastrous decision to effectively allow election betting reduces our democratic process to a horse race for the wealthy. Putting corporate profits ahead of election integrity is a bad bet for democracy. merkley.senate.gov/merkley-cftc-a…

My End Crypto Corruption Act is simple: no elected official should be engaging in a crypto scheme to enrich themselves and sell influence—like Trump is doing right now. Let’s seize the day! This is the right moment to have anti-corruption provisions included in the GENUIS Act.

Kicking our highly trained trans service members out of our military is a WIN for discrimination, and a LOSS for national security. That's just wrong on both fronts. nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/…

President Trump’s cryptocurrency is an unprecedented opportunity for corruption and bribery, and our End Crypto Corruption Act puts a stop to it. We need a framework that allows the industry to succeed in the U.S., protects consumers and ends abuse by politicians + bad actors.

President Trump & his family are making millions off their crypto assets & using the White House to do it. The President should not be scamming Americans by promoting crypto to make himself richer. We need to pass Senator Jeff Merkley’s End Crypto Corruption Act NOW.

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred individuals? PATEL: It is not for me to call the balls and strikes on it MERKLEY: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons' ... it concerns me you're

Quite an exchange just now between Sen. Merkley and FBI Director Kash Patel over whether due process applies to people targeted by the Alien Enemies Act.

FBI Director Kash Patel : "You and I are in disagreement on what is a violation of law. I have yet to hear from the Supreme Court your position..." Senator Jeff Merkley: "Very interesting. The Supreme Court's been very clear. I heard you were trained in the law, so I expected maybe

Trump's crypto scheme is a clear conflict of interest—he’s enriching himself and selling access. NO public officials should betray public trust like this! Now's the time to weed out corruption—we need to include my End Crypto Corruption Act in the GENIUS Act!

Don’t believe the Republican spin. The disastrous budget package they’re pushing would kick MILLIONS off of their Medicaid coverage—kids, seniors, folks in rural areas, people with disabilities. It’s just wrong—I’ll fight like hell to protect Medicaid.

Let's protect our freedom and privacy. YOU have the right to opt out of Big Brother's TSA facial recognition technology at the airport! I teamed up with John Kennedy on the Traveler Privacy Protection Act to protect that right! merkley.senate.gov/before-busy-su…

A national facial recognition system and a database of faces is a slippery slope to a surveillance state. That’s a massive threat to freedom and privacy in America—we shouldn’t trust any government with that power. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
