Proud to stand with @ofnhp.bluesky.social and Oregon healthcare workers today in their fight for fair pay.
They care for us, so we have to care for them.

Last week, the President sent Secretary Noem to visit Portland in a desperate attempt to make our city look full of chaos.
Give me a break – we don’t want troops in our city, and we don’t need them.
We’re officially 16 days into the Republicans’ government shutdown – a crisis they created because they’d rather bend the knee to Trump than give Americans healthcare.
They control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. It’s time for them to come to the table and re-open the government.
Trump's tariffs have set in, and the data doesn't lie: it's the consumers that are footing the bill.
Oregonians can't afford the President's chaotic economic policies – we need to be lowering costs, not raising them.

If he wants to talk about things that are “threatening” our state right now, let’s talk about the cuts to healthcare in his budget and his inability to re-open the government.

Instead of coming to the table to work on a deal that centers the American people, Speaker Johnson canceled votes AGAIN this week.
I stand ready to get to work to lower costs and protect healthcare – just waiting on you, Mr. Speaker.
Last night, over 13,000 Oregonians joined my telephone town hall with @aguilar.house.gov to discuss the shutdown and Trump’s deployment of troops in Portland.
Thank you to everyone who brought thoughtful questions and shared their stories – we won’t stop fighting for you.
🚨HAPPENING SOON 🚨
Join me and @aguilar.house.gov at 5:30PM PT for a telephone town hall to discuss the state of play two weeks into the Republicans’ government shutdown.
Tune in here: bynum.house.gov/TTH
Today, Speaker Johnson said he has “no strategy” to fix the shutdown his party created.
That’s ridiculous. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency – they need to start putting the American people first.
We’re two weeks into the government shutdown, and Republicans are nowhere to be found.
This has gone on far too long. The economy is suffering and healthcare costs are going up – it’s time to get to work, House GOP.
Yeah, we know.
🚨TOWN HALL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
I will be hosting a telephone town hall TOMORROW with special guest @aguilar.house.gov, Chair of @housedemocrats.bsky.social to talk about the Republican shutdown.
RSVP at the link below to receive a call to join at 5:30 PT ⬇️

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the history and contributions of our Tribal communities.
We must continue to work towards a future rooted in sovereignty, justice, and equality.
I am relieved by the news this morning that all 20 living hostages have been safely returned home. My prayers are with them, their families, and their loved ones.
This is an encouraging step towards an end to the conflict – we must continue to work to bring aid and peace to the region.
Republicans have been on vacation for almost two weeks while Oregonians are facing higher healthcare costs, our economy is suffering, and servicemembers are being forced to work without pay.
They created this crisis, and they need to come to the table to get us out of it.
I surveyed over 300,000 of my constituents, and most of the respondents said they don’t approve of the National Guard being deployed to Portland.
As I’ve said: we don’t need this, and we don’t want this.
Wildfire season is ongoing in Oregon, yet thanks to the Republican shutdown, key fire prevention efforts could be stalled.
These delays will have devastating impacts on the safety of our communities. Republicans need to get to work.
bendbulletin.com/2025/10/09/f...
Republicans caused this shutdown, and instead of coming back to DC to fix it, they’re on vacation.
The result? 15 million Americans will lose health insurance, 22 million will face higher healthcare costs, and the economy will continue to suffer.
It’s time to get to work, House Republicans.
