ICE is an out-of-control federal agency terrorizing our communities. Their aggressive tactics and abusive behavior in Washington County and across Oregon are outrageous and dangerous.

It was exciting to celebrate the grand opening of Hillsboro’s new Year-Round Shelter with the City of Hillsboro, Washington County, Metro, and many other public, private, and non-profit partners who made this dream a reality. 🧵

Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans who want to disclose the Epstein files. What is he hiding? #releasethefiles

Oregonians have enough to worry about with the rising costs of groceries. I introduced legislation to allow for the replacement of skimmed S-EBT benefits and I'm glad @agdanrayfield.bsky.social is helping to protect consumers and restore benefits.

There's a new episode of Suzanne on the Street AND new buildings to explore at the @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social! I spoke with PAM's John Goodwin about Portland's thriving art scene and what's new at PAM - including the grand opening of the Rothko Pavilion and other exciting events coming up soon.

Trump is forcing NINE lifesaving tsunami monitoring centers to close by the end of November, just four months after a Pacific-wide tsunami warning. 🧵

Today marks the beginning of #TransgenderAwarenessWeek! To trans people across the state and the country - I will continue to fight for the equal rights and opportunities you deserve despite the onslaught of GOP attacks against the community.

This was a bad bill that will increase the cost of healthcare, but now Republicans have made it worse. I’m voting no.

This continuing resolution was already a bad bill, but now it’s worse. Republicans slipped in a provision to give hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to some GOP Senators connected to Jan 6, but they still do nothing to improve health care. 🧵

I’m standing with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to protect health care for Oregonians and Americans.

With steep premium increases, Oregonians are being forced to make impossible decisions between paying for food, housing, and child care. 🧵

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: I will not support a bill that increases health care costs and cuts essential services for Oregonians and Americans across the country. I am a no.

Today we recognize and celebrate veterans and remember the sacrifices and contributions they and their families make to protect our country and its values and freedoms. 🧵

If this so-called deal passes, thousands of Oregonians and millions of Americans will see their healthcare costs spike. I am a no.

Once again, hungry kids and families should not be used as a political bargaining chip.

Victor Cruz is an upstanding member of the Hillsboro community who never should have been detained by ICE. I’m grateful that his wrongful detention has come to an end and that he is reunited with his family. 🧵

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a final court order blocking National Guard deployment! Today's ruling is a huge victory for Oregon. The courts are holding this administration accountable to the truth and the rule of law.

Oregonians got some good news today that their SNAP benefits have come through. It's unacceptable that the Trump administration originally refused to release the SNAP funding even after ordered to do so by a court order. It should never have come to this.

The Trump Administration is terrorizing individuals, families, and communities. I'm infuriated by the extreme overreach and cruel tactics ICE is using to carry out the administration's inhumane deportation agenda.

The latest update from Trump's shadow docket again shows how little the president and his administration care about the American people. 🧵

Great news: after multiple court orders, Oregon SNAP benefits have been restored. Now we need the House Republicans to get back to Washington DC and work with us to open the government. Hungry children and families should never be used as political pawns. I’ll do all I can to protect SNAP.

Thank you to @pelosi.house.gov for her years of dedicated public service in San Francisco and for the American people. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi broke barriers as the first woman Speaker of the House, and in that work she created a legacy as the most successful and effective Speaker. 🧵

The Trump administration’s chaotic tariff policies raise costs and harm Oregonians, Americans, and the economy. It is the role of Congress, not the president working on his own, to implement tariffs when appropriate. 🧵

ICE is terrorizing our communities. People are afraid to go to work or visit their favorite shops, restaurants, and businesses.

Families and children in Oregon and across the country should not be used as political pawns. 🧵

I visited Victor Cruz at the ICE detention center in Tacoma today. He should not be there. ICE took Victor not because he committed a crime, but because he has the same name as someone else. I continue to call for his immediate release and his return to his home and family.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: National Guard deployment remains paused until Friday; judge says deployment is likely unlawful. Today's ruling is a step toward truth and accountability. Read more about what happened and what's next.

Although there is some momentary relief with the court's SNAP decision, Republicans continue to try to cut off critical services for American families. 65,000 children are set to lose access to their Head Start Program.

The President does not have the authority to commit acts of war without authorization from Congress, but his administration is attacking boats in the Caribbean and military installations in Venezuela. 🧵

This morning I spoke with Oregonians who have been able to feed themselves and their families because of SNAP, anti-hunger advocates, and colleagues in the Oregon delegation. 🧵

This proposal is outrageous and harmful. The Trump administration needs to stop attacking and terrorizing the trans community. Medical decisions should be made by patients and health care providers, not by the government.

As we approach one month of the government shutdown, I am here in Washington, DC fighting for access to affordable health care and SNAP benefits. I continue to call on my Republican colleagues to get back to work so we can open the government for the American people.

Many families, like Victor’s, are being ripped apart by an out-of-control federal agency that is using cruel, violent, and often illegal enforcement tactics perpetrated by masked agents in unmarked vehicles. 🧵

The Trump Administration repealed sensitive location guidance that prevented ICE enforcement in schools, hospitals, and places of worship. 🧵

Congress created a contingency fund for SNAP to keep food assistance funded during a government shutdown. But now the Trump Administration has deleted information about it from the USDA website and is refusing to release the funds. That’s a choice, and it’s outrageous.

After meeting with Portland TSA and air traffic controllers their message was clear: Hold the line on healthcare. Hold the line on defending our democracy.

A medida que las redadas de ICE continúan afectando a las familias de Oregón, quiero compartir la guía de recursos de inmigración del Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield para que usted y su familia puedan #ConocerSusDerechos. (English translation in comments)

Republicans are supporting health care cuts that will increase costs, limit access, and create uncertainty for Oregonians and Americans, including thousands of people with disabilities. 🧵

It was inspiring to celebrate the opening of Washington County's Beaverton Recovery Center with local and state leaders and community partners. 🧵

Oregonians and people across the country should not go hungry because the Trump administration refuses to act. There IS a Congressionally approved contingency fund available to prevent a lapse in SNAP benefits, but Donald Trump's USDA would rather let the American people go hungry. 🧵

Victor Cruz has a permit to work in the US and has been following the rules. He is a husband, father, grandfather, and pilar of his community. ICE took Victor not because he committed a crime but because he has the same name as someone else. 🧵

Constituents are telling me that increased healthcare costs will be devastating for themselves and their families. I am ready, willing, and able to work with Republican colleagues to reopen the government, but will not accept a budget that decimates healthcare for thousands of Oregonians.

I represent the North Oregon coast, and I have long been concerned about what will happen to coastal residents when there is a tsunami. Research shows that it’s extremely difficult to outrun the deadly waves, and vertical evacuation is the best way to save lives. 🧵

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote. This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

I spoke with emergency medicine physician Dr. Dara Kass about the Republicans’ health care cuts and why we need to extend the ACA tax credits. It’s an economics issue. It’s a jobs issue. It’s a cost issue. For many, it’s an issue of life and death.

For the record, once again, Portland is not burning to the ground. There is no insurrection here - that was on January 6 at the US Capitol.

Millions of Americans are struggling with high costs, going hungry, and losing their health care. And Donald Trump's “main priority” is tearing down the White House to build a massive, multi-million dollar ballroom so he can host parties for his rich friends.

REMINDER: Today, October 23rd at 2pm I will be hosting a telephone town hall meeting. **To listen to the live audio of the town hall meeting, please go to bonamici.house.gov/live at 2pm.

The Trump administration wants you to think that the Macadam ICE facility is under attack. It isn’t. 🧵

I’m still going!! Tune in as I hold the Senate floor to expose how Trump is pushing us into authoritarianism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymDt...
