Trump is too stupid or ignorant to realize that the part of the state that is most susceptible to wildfires is also the part where the voting population overwhelmingly supports him.

So right. He too chicken to come to the Rogue Valley. I hate being in a gerrymandered district. Good luck with those fires. They got mine out before it was within five miles. I don't want to relive September 2020 again. I love our super air tankers! Now we need to get them paid despite Trump. 😼
FEMA is openly denying fund to a BLUE STATE to please Trump. Every REPULICAN in Oregon needs to sign a complaint NOW or OWN IT. Then WE can decide if they will remain in their offices. WE THE PEOPLE will eliminate such criminal activity through our VOTES. 😼 Do you hear me now Cliff Bentz?
We know the answer, Senator Merkley; it’s because this administration is punishing blue states because they didn’t go for the giant vindictive baby in the Oval Office. Ironically, many of the people affected probably DID vote for him, which doesn’t make their plight any less awful. Keep fighting.
NEW: A court ruled that Big Tech companies like Amazon can't use an anti-hacking law to go after users and developers of digital tools, like Perplexity AI, that people use to improve their online experience. This is the right call.
We can not carry on with the people making decisions about our health not understanding science. It’s too damn dangerous. act.link/gi-87jim youtu.be/DI1uiUnmnYE

There are very—and we mean 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺—few Senators who’ve fought harder for our 🌎 than Oregon’s @jeff-merkley.bsky.social. When leaders prove their commitment to the climate fight time and again, we have to fight like hell for them. That’s why we’re backing Senator Merkley in his bid for re-election!
Trump has raked in more than a BILLION DOLLARS from his crypto schemes. No president should be able to use their office to enrich themselves, which is why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to stop these kinds of crypto grifts in their tracks.
Betting on the wildfires threatening our communities? Just plain wrong. This is why I wrote bills to rein in prediction markets, and why I'm fighting to get them passed.
Prediction Markets Let You Bet on Whether a Wildfire Will Burn Down Your Town
Wildfire survivors call fire-prediction markets “morally reprehensible” and worry they could increase the risk of arson.

I voted NO to proceed to the NDAA. I can’t support excessive military spending, approval of Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran, and provisions that force deeper U.S.-Israeli defense and intelligence sharing.
The Trump Administration has a new rule that targets future nurses, teachers, social workers, and more, making it harder for them to get the degrees they need to do their jobs. I forced a vote to stand up for students and repeal the rule. Republicans BLOCKED me.
Oregonians deserve answers on why FEMA denied federal funding for the East Evans Creek Fire and the Rowe Creek Fire Complex. Senator Wyden and I are pushing to get them.
Merkley, Wyden push FEMA on funding denial for Rowe Creek fire - Central Oregonian
FEMA funding for the Rowe Creek Complex was recently denied despite its massive size and threat to multiple homes and people. Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) are […]

UPDATE: Partial FEMA funding was approved for the western portion of the Rowe Creek Fire Complex—but the eastern portions of the fire in Wheeler County still need help. I'll keep fighting for the federal funding needed for the rest of Oregon’s major fires.
Americans shouldn’t be left to foot the bill for Trump’s Freedom 250 donors. I’m demanding answers.
The Trump administration wants $10 million more to cover its July Fourth celebrations
Congress allocated $150 million for 250th birthday events. The Trump-backed group that planned the state fair and July 4th fireworks is asking for an additional $10 million in reimbursements.

Oregonians want lower costs for housing, health care, and groceries—not billions wasted on Trump's deeply damaging war of choice with Iran. I'm committed to ending Trump's illegal war.
My Children's Safe Welcome Act would shut down Dilley and end family detention. I'm fighting to get it passed and end the Trump Administration's cruel and inhumane family detention policies.
Last year, I held the Senate floor for more than 22 hours to ring the alarm bells about Trump's authoritarianism. Today, I introduced a 10-point legislative plan to rein it in—the For Our Republic Act.
Democrats unveil sweeping proposal to combat Trump authoritarianism
Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., is packaging together a number of existing bills with some new ideas to curb what he calls authoritarian abuses of presidential power.
