CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Thank you, Judiciary Branch from stopping Trump from dragging the California National Guard into Oregon to do his bidding. California didn’t just stand by, they joined Oregon in fighting back, insisting federal overreach has limits.

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city. Troy and I were on the ground:

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

🙏 💚

Oregon is our home – not a military target.

Any military takeover of any Oregon community violates our right to govern ourselves and endangers our communities, interferes with local law enforcement’s ability to fulfill their duties, and drains taxpayer resources that could be better spent elsewhere.

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Don’t forget to join your local protest!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the nation’s first bill banning officers from wearing masks. Now let’s work to bring this change nationwide, reach out to your governors and help unmask ICE!

Tell your Dems: NO blank checks. NO healthcare cuts. Stop Trump’s power grab—fight like hell. act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Congress must exercise its oversight authority by launching immediate investigations by hauling in Brendan Carr and executives from Disney and ABC’s affiliates to testify under oath about this corrupt crackdown on dissent. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

No Kings Event in Sisters on Saturday 10/18. We join the rest of the country in this mass protest. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

JUST IN: Gov. Tina Kotek is freezing all non-essential state travel and told agencies to cut spending as Oregon faces a $373 million deficit after losing its projected surplus. She cited tariffs and the "One Big Beautiful Bill" for the sudden shortfall.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

“Donald Trump and the National Guard need to stay out of Portland!” Your friends in Sisters (over the hill) agree!

Cats know: sometimes you’ve gotta pure, sometimes you’ve gotta ROAR. With DC & Chicago today. 🐾🦁 #Caturday

Thousands flood the streets of Washington, D.C. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏽🔥

Donald Trump and Dr. Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying coverage.

🧵2/3 #BlueStateOpposition Vaccines CA, OR & WA are going to coordinate vaccine recommendations, because the C.D.C. has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, ideology that will lead to severe health consequences.”

“Merkley has called on his colleagues in Congress to halt hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons sales to Israel until Gazans receive immediate and critical aid being blocked by Israeli forces.” Hope he can convince @wyden.senate.gov as he shamefully voted against all bills to halt weapons.

Join our local Sisters community to learn about today’s “authoritarian breakthrough” and how we can counter it with non-violent tactics of defiance and non-cooperation—then brainstorm how to put these strategies into action in our own community. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Workers over Billionaire protest in Sisters.

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.

No, President Trump. Forcing seniors with traditional Medicare to get prior approval from AI companies before they can receive the health care they need won’t make America healthy again. It will make AI companies even richer by denying care to seniors. DON’T CUT MEDICARE.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Oregon’s 5th thought we were free of you in Nov 2024 when Bynum beat you. Now you’re in DC putting Trump’s ‘big, beautiful face’ on a Labor Dept banner while gutting worker protections. Some legacy.

Attend the WorkersOverBillionaires Rally in Sisters, OR on 9/1 from 1-2pm at the Stallion. Sign up to let us know you will be there. www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

It is unconscionable for baby formula to be sitting at the border of Gaza as newborns & infants die of starvation. I joined @pressley.house.gov & @pettersen.house.gov in demanding Secretary Rubio facilitate aid and baby formula to enter Gaza.

Thankful for the first responders on the ground working around the clock to keep folks safe. Please protect yourself and our firefighters by following evacuation notices if your area has them.

Who's the next Democrat that's gonna come out swinging? Who's gonna go on the attack? Who's gonna figure out a way to get it done regardless of the obstacles in place? If you can't see that there's an insatiable appetite for fighters and brawlers on the left, open your eyes.

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

See below. Go tell him what you think of his support for that Big Ugly Bill will to do Oregonians.

Oregon pioneered vote-by-mail and has shown for decades that it’s secure, trusted, and works. We were the first state to do it — and we’re not going back, no matter what Trump says.

MAGA aren't republican, they are pro-monarchy, pro-oligarchy, and pro-autocracy. Supporting corruption and removing power from the people to concentrate it in the hands of a few wealthy and corporate entities and individuals is the opposite of republicanism. They are regressives.

Attention Oregonians! Cliff Bentz is going to be in The Dalles this Wednesday Aug 20 for a Rotary meeting at Spooky's at noon where THE PUBLIC CAN JOIN THE MEETING & ASK QUESTIONS! After that, Bentz will be taking a tour of the watershed with the mayor. He has been in hiding so this is a big deal.

@indivisiblesisters.bsky.social had a very busy week. On Tues. we had an Indivisigather with over 40 people. On Thurs. we went to Madras to support @bynum.house.gov at a Town Hall. Today there were over 40 of us at our weekly Sat. rally --"No Trump Takeover." Join us! @coin-indivisible.bsky.social

"Empathy doesn’t become a weakness because the world is cruel. It becomes more necessary. When things fall apart, empathy is what tells us to look at each other and say, 'I’ve got you.' Not 'What do you offer me?' Not 'Are you worthy?' Just that I see you. And that matters.

@When a big city catches a cold, rural areas catch the flu@ says bynum.house.gov Cuts to Medicaid & rural hospital closures are that flu. Rural communities can’t afford to get sicker. youtu.be/DpvalFQsdqI?...

The whole health care system is at risk because of the Medicaid cuts in Trump's reconciliation bill. app.sosha.ai/s/Bhz3Qil3

A plane removing a tail number is like a car removing a license plate. With the tail number, civilians, journalists, and immigration organizations can keep an eye on which deportation flights are leaving, and to where, and loved ones can track deported family members. newrepublic.com/post/199077/...

My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social

Gov. Newsom is taking on redistricting in CA. Oregon may be smaller, but we could still make big changes—maybe even draw Cliff Bentz out of a seat. Let’s go, Governor @tinakotek.bsky.social!

Rep. Bentz declined the Oregon Nurses’ Assoc. invite to discuss Medicaid cuts & rural hospital closures on Aug. 14. District 5 Rep. Bynum said YES! Go hear her Thurs, Aug. 14, 6 PM at the Madras Performing Arts Center.

@indivisiblesisters.bsky.social was back at it at the Stallion in Sisters today for our weekly "Enough Already" rally. We had great signs and energetic volunteers in abundance! @indivisiblebend.bsky.social @deschutesdemocrats.org

What’s the point in doing this? It’s cruel and heartless.
