Oregon: TOMORROW is the last day to register to vote.

Head over to OregonVotes.gov to make sure you’re registered.

When the Trump Administration threatened ocean sensors that help manage fisheries, forecast weather, and understand climate change, I worked with colleagues across the aisle to save them. Our bipartisan bill unanimously passed—and the sensors are back in the water!

Trump’s arch is a monumental waste of money. Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for this illegal vanity project. Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make sure YOUR tax dollars aren’t wasted on a monument to Trump’s ego.

Housing, health care, education, and good-paying jobs are the foundations for thriving families. That’s what I’m fighting for: opportunity for every Oregonian.

A pocket rescission is an illegal line item veto. It’s the president canceling the lines of spending he doesn't like. Republicans said they would never let this happen. Well here it is. If they have any integrity they’ll join us in ending this practice.

Democrats brought a War Powers Resolution to the Senate floor. AGAIN. Republicans blocked it. AGAIN. I’m focused on ending Trump’s illegal war. It’s costing us dearly.

Patients over private equity profits.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.socialSep 21, 2026, 7:51 PM

Healthy patients are more important than healthy profits. Let’s kick hedge funds OUT of health care!

Gas prices are through the roof since the start of Trump's illegal war with Iran.

The price of gas has skyrocketed in the last 9 months. Trump and his illegal war with Iran are to blame.

Housing is one of the foundations for thriving families. I’m working to make sure that every family in Oregon has a safe, affordable roof overhead.

It's the same story over and over again: tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and no accountability for those who rig the system for their own gain. Families lose, billionaires win. I’m fighting for a future where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

BIG WIN. Vote by mail is safe, simple, and secure—and I’ll always fight to protect it.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.socialSep 13, 2026, 11:17 PM

Voting by mail is safe, simple, and secure. Folks in red and blue states alike have voted by mail for decades—it’s a system that works. I’ll fight like hell to protect it.

25 years ago, unprecedented acts of terrorism devastated our country. We remember the firefighters and first responders who ran toward danger on September 11, 2001, mourn all we lost, and hold close all those feeling the pain of loss today.

Wonderful to spend Labor Day with some of the local union leaders who keep our communities strong!

The 2020 Labor Day Fires devastated Oregon and took the lives of 11 Oregonians. Today we remember those who died and their loved ones and honor the firefighters and first responders who ran toward danger to keep us safe.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 1:54 PM

Happy Labor Day and a big thank you to the workers and labor leaders who worked tirelessly to win the better hours, benefits, and safer working conditions we have today. Our communities are stronger because of you!

Diesel hit a record high because of Trump’s war of choice with Iran. And when the price of diesel rises, the price of just about everything else—from groceries to clothes—rises too. We’re paying the price for Trump’s illegal war.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.socialSep 4, 2026, 2:20 PM

Trump’s war of choice in Iran is sending costs through the roof for folks here at home. It’s past time we reined in this illegal war and focused on bringing down costs for families in Oregon and across the country.

I’ll fight like hell to protect vote by mail.
