“Appreciation for our beautiful outdoor spaces is in the DNA of every Oregonian,”

These actions risk undermining the ability of states and community-based organizations to detect and respond to emerging synthetic opioids, even as these threats accelerate.

It's a message that Americans aren't going to stand for law abiding people being spied on.

The lawmakers also argue that the agreement appears to be illegal on its face, as DOJ lacks the legal authority to terminate audits unrelated to a case referred to DOJ

Americans aren’t going to stand for law-abiding people being spied on. There’s bipartisan agreement in Congress that the status quo isn’t good enough to protect Americans’ rights against abuse by the government.

Bill Pulte and Todd Blanche will have nearly unchecked power to spy on political opponents without a warrant under FISA Section 702, and use what they find for blackmail, political smears or trumped-up prosecutions.

These abuses are not abstract or hypothetical: In Minneapolis and in communities across the country, this administration's lawlessness has turned into real harm that ruins Americans' lives.

Any senator who doesn't insist on real surveillance reform now is rolling out the red carpet for unprecedented abuses.

To date, I do not believe Black has provided a credible explanation as to why he paid Epstein amounts that vastly exceeded those paid to other professional advisors involved in his tax and estate planning.

As a long-time champion of stewardship agreements that provide fresh and balanced solutions for rural Oregon communities, I am gratified that the Malheur National Forest and Iron Triangle have reached this 20-year accord.

Black has refused to respond to questions about outstanding irregularities related to his payments to Epstein.

Black's attorneys from premier law firms demand rates exceeding $1,000 an hour, yet Epstein was paid exponentially more than a small army of high-priced lawyers from firms.

The only reason Trump nominated Todd Blanche for Attorney General is to install another corrupt flunky who is willing to abuse federal law enforcement and intelligence powers for Trump’s benefit.

I very much look forward to taking questions and hearing ideas at these upcoming town halls in southwestern Oregon that can help make our state an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

Bill Pulte appears to be unscathed by intelligence or any semblance of ethics.

This immunity deal is the biggest scam against the taxpayer in American history.

Pulte has already used his post at a housing agency to persecute Trump’s political opponents, including Senator Adam Schiff, New York Attorney General Leticia James and Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook.

Trump is appointing his top political henchman to one of the most important positions for protecting the safety of Americans and preventing terrorist attacks like September 11th.

Bill Pulte’s appointment at ODNI is yet another reason that every single Democrat should refuse to reauthorize Section 702 without strong new safeguards for Americans’ rights.

At the ODNI, Pulte will be intimately involved in overseeing FISA Section 702, where he could do vastly more damage and the potential for abuse is nearly unlimited.

Commercial location data can be used to identify where U.S. troops congregate and their pattern of life, which can be exploited by adversaries to target attacks such as missiles, drones, and roadside bombs, as well as for…

This agreement appears to be a brazen scheme to corruptly dole out taxpayer money to President Trump’s allies and violent insurrectionists.

Furthermore, I am concerned that recent decisions by HHS to dismantle SAMHSA and consolidate it within a larger agency, therefore weakening its existing powers, are inconsistent with the Department’s stated commitment to enhanced…

Given the serious national security threat posed by the ongoing sale of data to foreign adversaries from sensitive U.S. government facilities, we urge DOJ and the DNI to promptly act to address these problems.

Oregonians choking on smoke each summer don’t have to do the math to say that isn’t working.
