My dad escaped Nazi Germany during World War Two. He later proudly served in the U.S. Army.
I’m grateful for all those who, like my dad, bravely answered the call to serve.
Happy Veterans Day to all our veterans, here at home and overseas! We honor you today and every day.
My Epstein investigation revealed that Jeffrey Epstein used proceeds from so-called “tax planning” to fund his sex crimes.
That money flowed through Wall Street banks and despite numerous warning signs, bankers looked the other way.
As Chairman of the Finance Committee, I'll use every tool to get answers.
Senate Finance will probe the role bankers played in facilitating Epstein’s crimes politi.co/4zAyfCY
RFK Jr. has a been a disaster for America's public health.
He has spread misinformation and overseen the largest measles outbreak in decades. Children are sick and dying because of it.
He’s going to answer for it in January.
In America’s measles epidemic, RFK Jr. is now on trial politi.co/4Apyalv
An excellent and timely new documentary about an iconic Oregonian who stunned election observers back in his day.

Proud to stand this #ElectionDay at @Portland_State with @ORSecretaryRead @AGDanRayfield & PSU president Ann Cudd to urge all Oregonians to exercise their vote.
Our state’s election system is the gold standard & I will stay vigilant to make sure there’s no interference with it.
Donald Trump and ICE agents can’t slash the First Amendment here in Oregon or anywhere else in America.
All in with @SenJeffMerkley & @RepBonamici to ensure these agents are identified and prosecuted.

Sen. @RonWyden has taken his quest to keep the Blazers in Portland to NBA Board of Govs chair/Miami Heat owner Micky Arison. They spoke this week about Moda Center deal. Wyden has said he will use his standing on Finance committee to push league. Wyden's statement to @Oregonian:
I condemn the continued settler violence in the West Bank against Palestinian farmers, journalists, and rabbis. The Israeli government must uphold its responsibility to protect farmers’ access and ensure their safety.
A U.S. photojournalist working for The Washington Post and several Palestinians were injured when masked Israeli settlers attacked them in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
One video of the incident showed a large group of settlers, most of them masked, descending from a hill above an olive grove where Palestinians from the village of Abu Falah had gathered to pick the fruit. Photojournalist Heidi Levine says she was surrounded by masked men, pushed to the ground and beaten, and had her camera equipment taken from her – despite wearing a helmet and a protective vest marked “PRESS.”
While Levine was on the ground, the video showed the masked men throwing stones and firing slingshots at Palestinians and other members of the press. Levine was taken to a hospital in Ramallah for medical treatment. She is reportedly in stable condition, according to the Washington Post.
The Israeli military said that it “strongly condemns this incident and views any manifestation of violence with utmost severity.”

Great day here at @Portland_State with @SenJeffMerkley & @RepBonamici to learn how the school & students will use the $2 million federal investment we worked to secure for semiconductor & nanotechnology research & training.
Met today in Portland with Oregon @MomsDemand to share ideas for common-sense solutions that reduce the risks of more school shootings like the one at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend.
Recreation & enjoying public lands are in our DNA as Oregonians.
That’s why I really enjoyed last week’s Outdoor Recreation Summit in Ashland to share ideas with great allies like @TravelOregon @ORStateParks @or_trails & more about how best to protect our natural treasures.
Huge praise to the city of Newport for working together to protect what makes their Oregon Coast city such a special place.
A great example for the rest of America about how to stand up to ICE bullying.
