Costs are skyrocketing.
The stock market is crashing.
The American people can’t wait. I’m fighting back.

Alisa presented a painting done by an eight-year-old girl in Ukraine.
The painting shows a girl smiling, surrounded by the souls of all of her dead friends. It is a reminder not just of the children losing their lives, but that even in the sadness, we can still smile.
Today, I was joined by Ukrainian women from #OR05 who fled their homes following Russia’s first invasion.
We must stand tall with them and for them to protect and defend Ukraine, its children, its families, and its democracy.
After votes last night, I passed some words of wisdom on the walls of the Capitol that speak volumes right now.
The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.
What a great first stop on the Brews With Bynum tour! Thank you to WorthyBrewing for hosting us, and thank you to all of you that came out to share what’s on your mind.
Where should we go next? Leave a comment below ⬇️
After hearing about how devastating the funding freeze has been for their site and the Central Oregon Community, I led a letter to the Sec. of Agriculture demanding she reverse it.
It's un-American and unacceptable to leave our families out to dry. 🧵2/2
This weekend, I stopped by NeighborImpact’s new food bank in Redmond to meet the staff that keep the whole operation running.
They told me that due to recent cuts made by the Trump administration, they’ve had to tell partners to expect up to a 20% decrease in food aid supply. 🧵1/2
Deschutes County, you brought the energy! Thank you for taking action and showing up – this is how we make change happen.
Shoutout Sisters High School for hosting, and thank you Senator Broadman for emceeing!
Incredible show of community out in Sisters today.
We sent a clear message to Trump and Elon: #HandsOff!!
FYI: Trump is out golfing today after giving us some voodoo Greek math equation while Americans are looking at their tanking retirement accounts wondering whose bird-brained idea massive tariffs were.
Johnson should call us back to DC so Congress can overturn this foolishness.
Great to sit down with @olcv.bsky.social this week for a discussion on water management, mitigating wildfire risk, and our shared commitment to improving environmental health.
We’ve all got to work together to protect the natural environment in #OR05 that we call home.
Thank you to everyone who RSVP’d to join me at Brews with Bynum this weekend 🍻☕️ I’m excited to meet you all.
We have reached capacity for tomorrow, but don’t worry – we'll be doing many more!
You can also come see me at my town hall tomorrow at Sisters High School at 1PM!
I'm excited to announce Brews with Bynum 🍻☕️
I’ll be visiting coffee shops & breweries around #OR05, and inviting you to come share a drink with me & tell me what’s on your mind – 1st stop in Bend this Saturday from 3:30 – 4:30! RSVP for location ⬇️

🚨TOWN HALL UPDATE 🚨
Due to votes, Senator Merkley will unfortunately no longer be able to join us in Sisters this Saturday.
The town hall is STILL ON – I'm excited to see and hear from you all. I hope you'll join me!
This week, my office was able to help Joseph, a constituent from Milwaukie, get an issue with his son's Social Security figured out.
If you or someone you know in #OR05 needs assistance, give our office a call!

Just 24 hours after Trump announced his tariffs, the economy is tanking.
Not only is he putting the retirement savings and college funds of Oregonians in jeopardy, but he's RAISING costs.
Isn't he supposed to be the pro-economy president?
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is SEVERELY underfunded. Like... a gap of billions of dollars. Unacceptable.
I’m doing something about it.
Today, I introduced the IDEA Full Funding Act to close that gap and start to deliver for our students with disabilities.
The Trump admin didn't just cut off funding for student programs, they did it 10 months earlier than they said they would.
These programs were going to help our kids get back to the basics and back on track in areas like math and literacy – now what?
This is unacceptable.

Another reckless decision by a reckless Administration that is making it extremely clear they don’t give a rat’s a** about the American people.
Every day I hear from my constituents that their bills keep going up, and up, and up.
Yet today, Trump is tacking on taxes that are making prices even higher??? No thanks.
I introduced the Protecting Families From Inflation Act to bring prices down. Watch ⬇️
