@SenJeffMerkley Mail in ballots got you elected. A real man would prove it both ways

We need to keep calling Trump’s election claims out for what they are: baseless conspiracies and dangerous disinformation.

@KamalaHarris 80% want proof of your comments.

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

We live in 2 Americas: In 1 America, the 8 wealthiest men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, are now worth over $2.5 trillion & have never had it so good. In the other America, according to a new poll, 66% of our population cannot afford groceries. We can do better. We must do better.

@GovTinaKotek As long as Oregon won’t how itself accountable, your words are empty.

@JoeBiden @littlebrown ‘PROMISE ME AMERICA!’ There. Fixed your punctuation.

I’ve written a book about my time as President. It’s called PROMISE ME, AMERICA. It’s coming out November 17th and is available for preorder now.  promisemeamerica.com @littlebrown

@SenSanders Climate hoax perpetrates politician greed.

Climate change is not just heat waves. It’s drought. Forest fires. And extreme weather disturbances. We can create millions of jobs transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels. Let’s take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry.

@PeteButtigieg Was it $4 billion you spent on 8 electric car chargers?

Fix Congress. Reform the Supreme Court. End money in politics. We cannot be afraid to fight for big reforms. Whether it’s paying more at the pump or struggling to afford a mortgage, kitchen-table problems will only be solvable when we deliver more accountability in government.

@TinaKotek If their parents came up through Oregon schools, the five year olds will have to read them to their parents:

All children in Oregon under age 5 can now receive a free book in the mail every month. Expanding access to books at an early age is a wonderful investment in our kids and our state's future. I'm proud to have signed HB 4022 into law with overwhelming bipartisan support, proving that when it comes to giving children a strong start, we can come together to get things done. Thank you to @dollyslibrary, the legislators who made this possible, and our incredible program partners. Together, you're helping inspire the next generation of Oregon readers. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/06/18/nee…

@GovTinaKotek Maybe because the regular school year is a waste of time?

It was great to spend the morning at Faubion School and see Portland Public Schools’ Summer Acceleration Academy in action! An estimated 35,000 students are taking part in summer learning this year in Oregon. Thank you to the educators helping students stay engaged!

@ewarren How rich are thee?

While you were figuring out how to pay rent, your president made $2.2 billion. While your groceries got more expensive, he was collecting $636M off a memecoin his own supporters lost money on. Who exactly is he working for? Not us.

@oregoncitizen_ It’ll amount to bandaids, Neosporin, and hormone replacement drugs for all, and the extra money will go toward bureaucratic ‘retirements’. And they will all claim successful ‘healthcare for all’

Do they speak for you? What do you think about Oregon becoming the first state to have a Universal Health Care? Do you consent? Do you want to pay for it?

@Jeff_Eager But the politicians have gotten richer! So weird! Wonder why?

Problem is, the roads, schools and health care have gotten worse the more money we spend on them.

@Jeff_Eager Clima’tologists’ are pretty much the same as economists: really good at predicting the past.

Nope.

@ORSecretaryRead Maybe talk about these 1,200 ‘known’ mistakes? oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…

Oregon, I will go anywhere in our beautiful state and talk elections. That's why I staffed the Tack Room Saloon at the St. Paul Rodeo. Thank you to the event organizers and all you do to support the community.

@RedWaveOR Dude doesn’t even live here. Oregon is his ticket to steal.

Ron Wyden out here blasting the Trump family for stopping at nothing to “enrich” themselves off taxpayers is straight hypocrisy. Dude’s been parked on the Senate Finance Committee for DECADES writing tax laws, trade deals, and healthcare rules — meanwhile his wife Nancy Bass Wyden was stacking it up big with the Strand Bookstore empire in NYC, the real estate plays, and some aggressive stock trading. Disclosures show one year she pulled over $1M from bookstore ops + another $1M from real estate. Family cleared at least $2.5M that year alone (plus his Senate pay). Stocks side: Big buys into Amazon (hundreds of k during the pandemic), Nvidia while Wyden pushed chip bills, UPS/FedEx, oil giants, plus heavy Big Tech like up to $1M Apple, $1M Microsoft, $500k Amazon. Wyden’s net worth climbed from around $5M mid-2000s to $7-$16M range lately. Trackers got the household near $22M with all that trading and fat gains. Top holdings forever tied to her biz — Bass Book Trading Inc. and Bass Real Estate LLC. Talks big on “the rich” and taxpayers…all while enriching himself. #oregon #kotekscorecard #home @pdxmoderate

@TinaKotek Safe!! *Snort* oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…

Oregon has had safe, secure, convenient elections by mail for almost 30 years. Christine Drazan sponsored a bill to end our vote-by-mail system that would have cost Oregon taxpayers millions of dollars and made it harder to vote. Thankfully, the measure failed. I'll always defend every Oregonian's freedom to vote and protect our trusted election system from efforts to undermine it, whether they come from D.C. or here at home.

@backuppuddin Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeated it…

Correct 💯

@SenJeffMerkley Not just the postal service, is it? oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…

Letter carriers keep Oregonians connected and informed, delivering news, prescription medications, ballots, and other essentials. I spoke with members of NALC Branch 82 in Portland to understand the challenges postal workers face and support their work delivering for our communities.

@JBPritzker He has a point: oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…

Donald Trump attacked mail-in voting, gutted the Voting Rights Act, and now fired every remaining member of the bipartisan agency that helps states run secure elections. Call it exactly what it is: an attempt to control the outcome of an election Trump is afraid of losing.

@MilesTaylorUSA This is not trump: oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…

Trump thinks he found a “back door” to rig the elections. And it’s going to fail — because his ass will get beat in court, again. Sign up to follow efforts to defy his thuggery. bit.ly/4gqXmRQ
