Everyone should have a safe, affordable place to call home

 


 
 


America has an affordable housing crisis, and if we don't take action, it's going to get even worse under the Trump administration. Housing prices are expected to increase by at least 4% in 2025, and Trump's reckless, on-again, off-again tariffs mean construction costs will jump.

Private equity is fueling America's housing crisis. Across the country, including right here in Oregon, hedge funds are wielding their financial muscle to gobble up available housing, outbid hard-working Americans who have sacrificed to save up down payments, drive up prices and rents, and turn neighborhoods into Wall Street profit centers at the expense of folks struggling to find a place to call home.

We need to put keys into the hands of first-time homeowners, not Wall Street profiteers and corporate interests.

Here's what I'm doing to end these practices:

  • I introduced the HOPE (Humans Over Private Equity) for Homeownership Act to kick hedge funds out of the housing market and increase access to affordable housing.
  • I'll never stop pushing to find ways to build more housing across the country to ensure there's a strong supply of affordable, accessible housing for all.

Before I ever held public office, I led the Portland chapter of Habitat for Humanity, working side by side with families fighting to keep a roof over their heads. It was seeing everyday Americans struggle to find affordable housing that motivated me to run for the Oregon legislature. In my role with Habitat, I was in a meeting with a local elected official, talking about the housing problem in Portland, and I realized it was time for me to be on the other side of the table to make a difference on housing.

Now, I'm in the Senate fighting for affordable housing for all.

Everyone should have a safe, affordable place to call home, and we're working to get it done.

Onward!

Jeff

You're Invited: Stop the Crypto Power Grab — Live Call Monday

 


🚨 The Trump-Crypto Alliance: What’s at Stake — Join Us Monday Night 🚨

  

 
RSVP

 


Donald Trump and his inner circle aren’t just playing the crypto game — they’re rigging it to enrich themselves, rewrite the rules, and give tech oligarchs unchecked power over our democracy.

The so-called GENIUS Act is their latest power play — a bill designed to funnel unregulated crypto cash into campaigns and super PACs while rewarding Trump's own financial backers and family-run crypto ventures.

That’s why Our Revolution is holding an urgent LIVE online event on Monday, May 12 at 8:30PM ET / 5:30PM PT to expose the truth behind this bill and how we stop it.

Tune in to hear from Senator Jeff Merkley and other special guests and experts to learn more about crypto corruption and ways to take action!

We will break down:

  • How Trump and his crypto allies are hijacking our democracy
  • Why the GENIUS Act is a gift to billionaires and a threat to free elections
  • What YOU can do to stop the crypto-corporate takeover of our government

💥 Crypto speculators poured over $200 million into the 2024 election cycle. Now they want payback. Let’s make sure they don’t get it.

👉 RSVP NOW for the Town Hall

When we organize, we win.

Democratic Senator BURIES KASH PATEL: Forced Him to Admit HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT CONSTITUTION!!!

 

A great deal was known & publicly revealed about KASH PATEL prior to MAGA GOP SENATORS approving this CLOWN. It has been reported that most of his time is spent partying not doing his job. His arrogance & incompetence was on display. KASH PATEL is an arrogant TURD, steeped in conspiracy theories & LIES. Not included in the article below were MONEY he received that was not explained, as well as LIES about appearing on a POD CAST, STEW PETERS numerous times. Takeaways from FBI director nominee Kash Patel’s combative confirmation hearing https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/politics/takeaways-kash-patel-fbi-confirmation-hearing/index.html ‘You’re Accusing Me Of Committing Perjury!’ FBI Director Kash Patel Rages Over House Dem Suggesting He Lied at Confirmation Hearing excerpt: Just 10 days after President Donald Trump began his second term, Patel — who he nominated to be his new director of the FBI — was in front of the Senate taking a barrage of questions. One of those questions focused on Patel’s association with Stew Peters, a prominent anti-Semite with his own podcast. Although Patel claimed he was unfamiliar with Peters, he appeared on his podcast eight times. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/you-re-accusing-me-of-committing-perjury-fbi-director-kash-patel-rages-over-house-dem-suggesting-he-lied-at-confirmation-hearing/ar-AA1ElUUa

The GOP’s newest voter suppression plan

 


 
 


Republicans in the House just rammed through a bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters and make it harder for you to vote. Let's dive into their new voter suppression plan.

The SAVE Act is the latest scheme by Republicans to rig the rules and silence voters. It's framed as an initiative to stop voter fraud, but it's spurred by baseless narratives and lies perpetrated by Trump and his MAGA minions.

Make no mistake: The SAVE Act demands voters present a birth certificate, U.S. passport, naturalization paperwork, or certain versions of the Real ID to indicate citizenship to cast a ballot. And here's a key detail they don't want you to know. As many as 69 million women changed their last names after marriage. That means their birth certificates might not match their current IDs — putting their right to vote at risk.

This bill is a blatant attempt to prevent people from voting, and it’s un-American.

As it moves forward in the Senate, my Democratic colleagues and I will fight to stop it. We will not allow this bill to become law and suppress the voices of millions of Americans.

Onward,

Jeff
