Jeff Merkley: “This is about fundamental fairness, the idea that--it is exactly as you say.”

America today is larger, busier and more complex than the America our Founding Fathers designed the Senate and its rules to govern.

Donald Trump is a con man. This attempt to sway Americans by sending them a check with less than 30 days before the midterm elections is deceitful.

Immigration court proceedings must uphold fairness and rule of law and not be politicized to satisfy Donald Trump’s arbitrary detention quotas.

To be clear: Both parties have played a role in creating Senate dysfunction, and both have a responsibility to fix it.
