Hedge funds using our housing market as a cash cow drives up the price of homes AND the price of rent. I’m working to pass my End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act because houses in our communities should be homes for families, not profit centers for hedge funds.
Wrapped up a busy town hall weekend with conversations in Deschutes and Jefferson counties on Sunday! Thanks to everyone who participated. I am always grateful to the folks willing to spend their time talking about how to make our state—and our country—a better place.
Folks arriving in the emergency room should have access to the full range of vital medical care, including abortion access. And doctors and nurses working in the ER should be able to provide that care without fear of political retaliation or risk to their careers.
Plastic production harms our environment and blankets communities—often low income communities and communities of color—with toxic emissions. Our work to #BreakFreeFromPlastic is about justice. I thank @RevYearwood and @risestjames for leading the way. amsterdamnews.com/news/2024/04/2…
On Workers Memorial Day, we honor and remember all workers injured, disabled, or killed by their jobs. Unions and the strong worker protections they fight for can help keep workers safe—I’ll keep pushing for legislation to make sure everyone can organize at work.
Awesome to be on the road meeting with folks in Sherman, Wasco, and Hood River counties for town hall conversations. The chance to hear directly from Oregonians about their ideas and what they care most about is one of the most important—and one of my favorite—parts of my job.
Houses in our communities should be homes for families, not profit centers for hedge funds. @RepAdamSmith and I introduced a bill to kick hedge funds out of our housing market—a big piece of the puzzle in terms of addressing the affordable housing crisis.
Great to meet with folks in Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties for town hall conversations yesterday! Hearing directly from Oregonians is a critical part of my job, and shapes the work I do in Washington, D.C. Thanks to everyone who participated!
Sky high prescription drug prices are Big Pharma’s corporate greed on full display. No one should have to make the impossible choice between filling a prescription and putting food on the table. That’s why I’m fighting to pass my End Price Gouging for Medications Act!
Agriculture is a cornerstone of Oregon’s communities and local economies. I introduced the Oregon Research Bounty Act to support critical research programs that directly benefit our ranchers, farmers, and producers—helping farms and families across Oregon. merkley.senate.gov/merkley-wyden-…
Today’s power plant pollution standards makes good on @POTUS’ promise to tackle climate change and protect all communities from pollution. epa.gov/newsreleases/b…
I’m celebrating #NationalParkWeek with some photos from my visit to Crater Lake National Park last year! I’ll keep working in the Senate to protect our amazing public lands and beautiful places for many generations to come.
Extremist Republicans are fighting like hell for a national abortion ban—chipping away at reproductive freedom, threatening access to emergency medical care, and putting lives on the line. I will always fight to protect care and get politicians and pundits out of the exam room!
.@EPA’s new standards will reduce air, water, land and climate pollution from fossil-fueled power plants without disrupting the delivery of reliable electricity -- protecting public health for communities across the country. I call that a win-win-win for American families
At INC-4 in Ottawa, our congressional delegation pressed hard to urge US negotiators to lean forward on crafting an ambitious international agreement to reduce plastic pollution. Other nations are looking for America to show leadership on this complex but solvable problem.
The Secure Rural Schools program gives rural communities in Oregon and across the West critical support— funding infrastructure projects, supporting our schools and libraries, and more. Great to see this funding headed to Oregon! merkley.senate.gov/wyden-merkley-…
.@HHSGov should be able to negotiate drug prices on ALL prescription drugs, not just the 10 most popular drugs. I wrote the End Price Gouging on Prescription Drugs Act to help lower the cost of ALL Rx drugs, for everyone.
HUGE: The @FTC just voted to BAN noncompetes! This is a big win for workers—ending an era of companies abusing noncompete agreements to keep wages lower and growth options limited for working people.

@SenateDems How could I forget my dear friend and climate champion @SenJeffMerkley. It's not Earth Day without him.
.@RepEspaillat and I introduced the Green Climate Fund Authorization Act to help developing countries lower their emissions and prepare for climate disaster. We need strong international partnerships to combat climate chaos! merkley.senate.gov/merkley-introd…

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.
That’s why I introduced a bill with @SenJeffMerkley that would crack down on Wall Street’s attempts to dominate the housing market. Learn more about the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act here: adamsmith.house.gov/news/press-rel…

Exciting news! @SenJeffMerkley has led the introduction of the Codifying SAVE Plan Act, paving the way to formalize President Biden's student loan repayment program into law! This will make a REAL difference for workers by providing relief from student loan debt!
A win for student debt relief! I’ve championed income-based repayment programs because we need to use every tool in the toolbox to tackle the issue of student debt. Codifying @POTUS's SAVE Plan in federal law will benefit students now and in the future. merkley.senate.gov/merkley-leads-…
I am proud to cosponsor the 'Codifying SAVE Plan Act,' a bill that would enshrine the Biden Administration’s historic student loan repayment plan into federal law. I encourage all my colleagues to join me and get this bill passed. #SAVEOnStudentDebt
