The truth is on our side. We know Portland isn’t “war-ravaged,” we know the protests are peaceful, and we know we don’t need these troops in our city. We won’t let the President continue to lie about our city and we won’t back down.

BREAKING: The appeals court that paved the way for President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland while the state's legal case against the administration plays out announced Tuesday it will reconsider its decision. https://cnn.it/47tspGj

I don't understand how Speaker Johnson can claim to be a person of faith while taking food away from children.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 28(source)

That’s why I introduced the Federal Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act, to make sure our firefighters are treated fairly and with the respect they deserve. bynum.house.gov/media/press-...

Today, on National First Responders Day, we thank our first responders for their tireless work to keep our communities safe. Unfortunately, Republicans have done them a disservice by shutting down the government and leaving them without pay.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 28(source)

At our Black Community Town Hall this weekend, we made one thing clear: we won’t let the President’s actions deter us from losing sight of what’s important – making sure all Oregonians have access to food, healthcare, and opportunity.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 28(source)

It’s week four of the government shutdown. Republicans might be on vacation, but I’m on my way back to DC today to get to work for Oregonians.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 27(source)

It’s pretty easy to sniff out the President’s BS.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 27(source)

It’s week four of the government shutdown, and I want to hear from you. It’s your stories that fuel this fight. If you or someone you know have been impacted, please share your stories with me using the form below ⬇️ forms.gle/8m2v92nxvXBc...

I want to hear from you!

The more I hear from Oregonians, the better job I can do representing and fighting for you. If you or someone you know has been impacted by the government shutdown, please share your story with me bel...

The 750,000 Oregonians – and millions of Americans – use SNAP to put food on the table, but the program is at risk of losing funding because of Republicans’ shutdown. I’m demanding the USDA provide money for this essential program – we can’t leave our families behind.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 27(source)

Prices are continuing to rise and inflation is the highest it’s been all year. Meanwhile, our economy is losing $15 billion every week the government is shut down. Oregonians can’t afford these chaotic policies. abcnews.go.com/Business/inf...

Inflation climbs to highest level since January, beef prices soar

A recent uptick in prices has coincided with a sharp slowdown of hiring.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 26(source)

As we continue to navigate what a government shutdown and the deployment of troops in our city means for our community, I'm here to support you however I can. Thank you to everyone who came out and shared their stories – I’m proud to be in this fight alongside you.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 26(source)

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Black Community Town Hall today in Portland. We had an incredible emcee, Pastor Mark Jackson, and were joined by Sen. Lew Frederick and City Councilors Loretta Smith and Vince Jones-Dixon.

Home is supposed to be the safest place you can be. Trump’s federal agents coming in and raiding our communities is threatening that feeling of safety for many of my constituents. I won’t stand for it.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 24(source)

While the American people are staring down higher healthcare costs and a worsening economy, Republicans are nowhere to be found. We’re 24 days into a government shutdown, and Speaker Johnson hasn’t held a vote in over a MONTH. It’s time for them to come back from vacation.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 23(source)

We cannot normalize the deployment of federal troops in our city.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 23(source)

I won’t let anybody turn what’s happening to my constituents into a “highlight reel” for clicks. That’s not what Oregonians need right now.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 23(source)

If Republicans don’t come to the table to work with us to re-open the government, food assistance for children and seniors won’t be distributed next month. Helping families put food on the table shouldn’t be a partisan issue – it’s time to get to work.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 23(source)

Everyone should have access to high quality, affordable healthcare. That’s why it’s unacceptable to me that the Republicans’ budget takes it away from millions of Americans.

Rep. Janelle Bynum@bynum.house.govOct 22(source)

Dishonesty is a choice. Instead of coming to Portland for a five-minute photo op, I invite this Administration and my colleagues to join me at the Old Spaghetti Factory to come see what's actually happening.
