I am so proud of this interview with Underscore Native News 🦅🪶 www.underscore.news/justice/meli...

Me tonight sitting in a room listening to the Republican candidates in the race I’m running in.

Thanks Eugene for showing me all the love!!!

Just a little about what I stand for! #melissabirdforcongress #orpol #oregon #democracy

Vote411.org is LIVE! Go check out my answers and the answers from the other candidates running! Thanks to the League of Women Voters for doing the hard work and helping folks make informed voting decisions! @lwvus.bsky.social

Absolutely EPIC day canvassing in Newport Oregon! I love our volunteers!

Super excited for tonight!!!

Houston we have a problem.

The entire state of Oregon votes by mail. It is highly regarded by voters of all parties. This is highly unconstitutional. States run elections, the President does not. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

“Organized people beats organized money every single time.” -Lennox Yearwood Damn right.

Only ONE race out of all of the races AIPAC and big PACs flooded won btw. Huge upset and proof that the people really do have the power. Volunteer for my campaign! Donate $10!! Let’s show them what we are made of! www.melissabirdforcongress.com

Oregon deserves more than the bare minimum. Hoyle does the minimum. Melissa will do what's right. That's the choice in #OR04! secure.actblue.com/donate/melis...

Looking forward to this tonight!

This is the way.

Let's go, Texas! We are proud of your turnout!

I am so thrilled to announce that I’ve been endorsed by @owfp.bsky.social. I could not be more proud to join their slate of working class candidates bringing real fight to this state. Join the movement and donate today! www.melissabirdforcongress.com #oregon #workingfamiliesparty

So proud to be endorsed by @progressivevictory.win I’m thrilled to partner with them here in Oregon to make gains and get a REAL PROGRESSIVE in office. 💪🏻 #orpol #oregon #eugeneoregon #progressivevictory #progressive

Super excited about our upcoming fundraiser in Corvallis on March 9! Get your tickets and spread the word. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

As a longtime supporter of protecting our old-growth forests, I strongly disagree with Val Hoyle on this issue. 🌲🌲

It is sheer lunacy to oppose reigning in Trump, as we stand on the brink of another 20-year conflict in the Middle East. Congress alone can declare war, and waging wars of aggression is banned under international law. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

The establishment Dem party is looking more and more like GWBush era Republicans. What kind of Democrat opens up our forests to clear cutting? CD04 deserves representation that prioritizes people and the places we live.

Our current Congresswoman supports old growth logging. This is the result, “seeking to eliminate old-growth and wildlife protections in order to facilitate “maximum” logging capacity across nearly 2 million acres of public lands.” This affects the entirety of CD04. oregonwild.org/trump-admin-...

Glad to see that less than 5 minutes after I posted about the VA rule I found out that the VA isn’t moving forward with it. Thank god. Keep fighting y’all! www.military.com/benefits/vet...

New VA rule determines veteran disability ratings by how medication affects disability, not by condition the veteran has. As the wife of a veteran with disabilities, I find this absolutely abhorrent. Circumnavigating Congress to make rules is not OK. www.wearethemighty.com/military-new...

ENGLISH We have a new #PatientsOverProfits signer! Melissa Bird for Congress signed this week. ✨✨✨ Candidates and elected officials should sign this pledge. Having patients' well-being as a priority shouldn't be a difficult decision. patientsoverprofits.org #patientsoverprofits #MedicareParaTodos

✨ ¡Tenemos una nueva firmante del compromiso de Patients Over Profits! @bird4congress.bsky.social lo firmó esta semana. Candidat@s y funcionarios electos deberían firmar este compromiso. Priorizar el bienestar de los pacientes no debería ser una decisión difícil. patientsoverprofits.org

Looks like Republicans got a case of the yips.

A reminder that representation isn’t supposed to feel out of reach. @bird4congress.bsky.social is touring rural OR, meeting people where they are, & talking honestly about how expensive & exclusionary campaigns have become. Worth your time. https://loom.ly/G2--OCI

Just want to point out that @kylietcheung.bsky.social and I predicted on Monday that the DOJ would go after Minnesota protesters using the FACE Act. (We did *not*, however, expect them to target Don Lemon??) jessica.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-...

No PACs. No corporate cash. Just $10 donations and a whole lot of listening. @bird4congress.bsky.social is running for Congress because the system is broken and she’s done pretending it’s not. Read this. It matters. https://loom.ly/nN_raI4

Just sitting at the lovely Coos Bay library meeting with the amazing campaign staff in between events! So happy to be here!

It is official!!! Thank you @pdamerica.bsky.social pdamerica.org/endorsements/

@pdamerica.bsky.social has endorsed my campaign! "Her laser focus on solving problems for every person in the district -- from healthcare for all, to affordable housing, to real economic opportunity, and protecting our sacred democracy from authoritarian takeover and billionaire control.”

Today, I released the following statement in response to the violent attack of peaceful protesters at the Eugene federal building yesterday: What we saw in Eugene was what federal officers have been trained to do. I have attended the peaceful demonstration Singing for our Lives protest many times.

I woke up horrified by what happened at the candlelight vigil in Eugene last night. As the Oregon Nurses Association held a vigil for Alex Pretti outside the Federal Building, after Mayor Kaarin, Senator James Manning, and Representative Lisa Fragala left…Flash-bangs. Tear gas. Pepper balls.

Minnesotans are leading in all categories of humanitarianism. They are such a source of hope.

Earlier today in Eugene heavily armored ICE & CBP came out & attacked protesters near the Singing For Our Lives vigil. In this year’s primary, you can vote for the status quo or you can vote for someone who’s in the street and willing to fight.

I am running for Congress, in Oregon’s 4th District. I say Abolish 🧊 NOW Today, another murder & I have this to say: Using paramilitary forces & waging war against people in the United States is unconscionable & unconstitutional. Congress needs to take immediate action to stop this brutality.

TFW the candidate you work for is called a "Fascist Fighter" (in a news headline no less). Happy people are finding @bird4congress.bsky.social

I’m running for Congress because we need fighters who will show up for our communities. So grateful to the @eugeneweekly.com for recognizing the fire I can bring on behalf of our communities. I’m done playing nice. It’s time to get tough. eugeneweekly.com/2026/01/22/f...

Honored to be part of this amazing group of people! Thanks for the shout out @citizensimpeachment.com 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Dear Congress, whatcha doin over there?

Sen. Mark Kelly has filed a civil lawsuit in DC federal court against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, challenging an agency action under the Administrative Procedure Act — Details remain limited as the complaint isn’t yet public, but the suit alleges an arbitrary, capricious decision

My daughter is this age. I’m laying here crying. My God, what has this country turned into? What is Congress waiting for? This is a blood bath and it’s just getting started.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/my-first-7...

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.
