I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this bill is trash. Get your sh*t together @HouseGOP.
Bynum: I want to start off by saying just how laughable it is to be calling this bill “beautiful” and I would like to replace that word with “trash.” . It is a trash bill and here is why. It is a bill that threatens $300 billion in cuts to food assistance, it is a bill that puts

It’s not every day I agree with DOGEai, but it thinks my Microsplastics Safety Act is a good idea!. Safe to say it’s past time we figure out how microplastics are impacting our health.

Republicans’ budget doesn’t just cut Medicaid and SNAP, it targets Planned Parenthood, where women across the country go for reproductive care. This means less access to cancer screenings, pre-natal care, and contraception. It’s dangerous.

The Trump administration is withholding $5.5 BILLION in public school funding across the country, including $70 MILLION for Oregon public schools. The President is steamrolling over programs our communities rely on, and this time, it's our kids who will pay the price.

Our Oregon firefighters and first responders have been out fighting the Cram fire – the largest wildfire in the country so far this year – for weeks. I am beyond grateful to them for their bravery and their commitment to keeping our communities safe. CD5, be sure you have an.

But we fought back, and we won – funding has resumed. Now, our kids can get back to the classroom, and families can continue to receive the support they need. 🧵 2/2.

It’s the third time this year that investigators from the Government Accountability Office have determined the administration defied Congress on spending.

Earlier this year, the Trump administration withheld $12 billion in federal funding for Head Start programs, including over $500,000 for Clackamas County Children’s Commission. Without this funding, they would’ve lost 40 staff members, and have been forced to close ten.

The more we learn about the conditions at ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ the more disgusted I am. This is an extreme violation of human rights – putting people in cages, depriving them of food, and exposing them to dangerous weather. That’s why I demanded ICE and DHS shut it down.
Legal advocates and relatives of immigrant detainees held in Florida's notorious Alligator Alcatraz are demanding the closure of the state-run facility, as allegations of human rights violations there and at other immigration detention centers mount.

Following funding cuts, @neighborimpact has seen a 27.3% decrease in food coming from @oregonfoodbank. Thanks to Republicans' trash budget, demand is going to go up while supply continues to go down.

When I go to the grocery store to shop for my family, I am shocked by the prices I’m seeing. So trust me, I hear you: prices are too damn high! . That’s why I introduced the Protecting Families From Inflation Act – Speaker Johnson, it’s time to put up a vote to lower costs.
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 ⬇️

We were supposed to be in DC voting today, but instead, Speaker Johnson sent us home early. Why?. To avoid releasing the Epstein files. There’s nothing defensible about that.

The data doesn’t lie. The Republicans’ trash budget puts healthcare at risk for millions of Americans.

In Oregon, 90,000 people are at risk of losing their access to SNAP. That’s 90,000 people – veterans, children, seniors – who are just trying to make ends meet and put food on the table. But Republicans sold them out to give tax cuts to the rich.

During National Parks and Recreation Month, it was great to meet with representatives from @citizensclimate to discuss how we can work together to keep our environment healthy. Oregon is home to so many beautiful outdoor spaces – I’ll always fight to keep them that way for

Speaker Johnson is shutting down the House and sending us home early to avoid releasing the Epstein files. We need transparency. Quit wasting my time.

Access to Medicaid and SNAP are a lifeline for thousands of Oregonians, but Republicans’ trash budget has left our communities preparing to have these programs ripped away. All to line the pockets of billionaires. It’s unacceptable.

More than a third of Oregonians rely on Medicaid via the Oregon Health Plan; in rural counties, it's often higher. Cuts are coming in Trump's flagship budget bill.
