The president needs to resign.

Preventing health care costs from exploding? Reopening the government? Lowering the cost of groceries?   Nope. Building himself a new $300 million ballroom.

There it is. 💰 Cha-ching! 💰 Lori Chavez Deremer got a promotion after losing her congressional seat. Instead of looking out for her would be constituents, she rewards her friends…

Federal agents are trying to bait peaceful protesters. Don't fall for it.

buff.ly/GyBNZQk Federal officers are instigating violence against just protestors past their authority. Some may claim, "they're defending govt property". Untrue. ENTIRE BLOCKS away, officers attacked peaceful demonstrators. Including an elderly Vietnam vet and his wife; the wife got a concussion.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Might help if the state legislature were planned to be at work in session for more than 35 days in the next year…

America is under attack from within like never before in its modern history. Its defenders must adopt a war footing. If the Union is to be saved — again — then Democratic-led, Democratic-governed states like Washington, Oregon, and California are going to have to step up and break out of old…

One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.

Considering Lori was drinking buddies with Shannon Monihan and her literal bomb throwing militant boyfriend, we’re not surprised that she would wish state violence on her former constituents. It’s still pathetic and weak, though.

This session, I was proud to work w/ @emerson4or.bsky.social, Rep. Kropf, and Sen. Broadman to fund important capital projects in Central Oregon: expanded care at Mosaic, a new emergency hub, a child psychiatric facility, the High Desert Museum, & more #orleg #orpol

Speaker Johnson is shutting down the House and sending us home early to avoid releasing the Epstein files. We need transparency. Quit wasting my time.

Quite a day yesterday here in Bend! The turnout for the #NoKings protest was *massive*, the bike race was a lot of fun to watch, and I saw a bunch of friends at both

Bend, I'm on a break from the socials, but just here to say y'all rock. Incredible peaceful protest today. My voice is hoarse from talking to people. My legs hurt from doing a bike race after the protest, ha. Gorgeous weather and community, a perfect Bend day. Thank you everyone ❤️

Such great turnouts all over Central Oregon today — GO TEAM!!! @ordems.bsky.social @currycountydems.bsky.social @lincolncodemsor.bsky.social @deschutesdemocrats.org @polkdems.org @oregonizers.org @oregonian.com @washcodems.bsky.social @multdems.bsky.social #NoKings

ICYMI: Republicans are stripping 42 million Americans of food for their kids and families – and they're proud of it. Students will go hungry, people will suffer, and it's all so they can put more money in the pockets of the top 1%. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Had a great weekend in Deschutes! Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall. I’m bringing your stories back to DC with me today to continue the fight against Republicans’ devastating cuts to Medicaid.

Oregonians will go hungry if congressional Republicans plow forward with plans to cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and shift costs to states, senators and Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social warned on Tuesday. buff.ly/iAUSIJt by @jmshumway.bsky.social

I'm demanding an investigation into the Trump administration's apparent use of the knockoff Signal app, TeleMessage. Senior government officials using a shoddy, foreign-owned communications app poses massive national security and counterintelligence threats.

Oregon, I hear you – and I’m with you in the fight against the Trump administration. Thank you, AG Dan Rayfield, for hosting this important town hall. Showing up and engaging in these conversations is how we push back and fight for the country we all deserve.

We packed a lot in this weekend in Bend – a town hall, site visits, and lunch at a small business! Now, back to DC to hold Speaker Johnson accountable for failing to put legislation on the floor to lower costs and make life better for Oregonians.

Got questions about how we’re challenging Trump in the courts? Come by my legal town hall with AG Dan Rayfield tomorrow morning! I look forward to seeing you there.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Oregon, had a promise for the crowd of dozens she faced on a coffee shop patio Saturday afternoon: She would go wherever her constituents wanted her to be. “There can be two of you and I will show up,” Bynum said.

Quite the place Lori Chavez Deremer is running. Makes all those statements during the campaign telling you she’s a moderate seem like lies, huh?

yeah but at least the insiders stole billions yesterday

Lock them up.

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime is happening and Trump and the Republicans are trying to make sure the USA will be left behind

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

Well over 1,000 protesters lined the streets of downtown Bend Saturday in one of more than 1,200 organized protests nationwide. It was the largest of a half-dozen protests in Central Oregon reaching all three counties.

At least a thousand people in Bend across four corners and down the street downtown. Creative signs. Everyone united. #Handsoff our democracy! Thanks for showing up, Bend. No Kings in our country.

Bend showed up big today. Streets packed, voices raised. This town cares, and it's not backing down. #handsoff

Big thread showing crowds across the country this morning. Still drinking my coffee in the PNW but see you out there later !

The gap between the self-image that MAGA has of themselves as tough macho he-men and their constant pants-pissing fear of every goddamn thing in the world is bigger than the Grand Canyon

Trump is bragging about tanking the stock market on purpose the same day Senate Republicans are gearing up for an all night voting marathon that gets them one step closer to passing their bailout for billionaires and corporations. The Republican agenda in a nutshell, folks.

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious

Get out in your community tomorrow and connect with people. You will find so many of us are against what this administration and a Republican Congress are doing to our country. It's time to stand up for our American values and freedoms. See you Saturday 5pm at Peace Corner in Bend 🇺🇸

Don't let this fall off your radar! The number of employees locally are small, so that means even one person showing up makes a HUGE difference. A week from today, 8am-10am. I'm bringing Sparrow rolls! #deschutes #bend #union

There's really something to just being around other people who care. It's worth it to go to something just for that.

the constitution isn’t is a word game and the fact that you can abuse the language to produce an outcome does not mean the constitution allows that outcome. the 22nd amendment was ratified to restrict a president to two terms in office, period. that is what it does.
