This ruling gives the President a green light to continue his attempted takeover of Portland.
Over the last few weeks, our city has made one thing clear: we don't need this, and we don't want this.
We won't let him continue to lie and we won't back down.

I’ve hosted 20 town halls, and everywhere I go, my constituents tell me they’re worried about their healthcare.
We need a budget that reverses the healthcare cuts and puts the American people first.
Votes were originally scheduled for us this week, but Speaker Johnson pulled them down AGAIN.
I’m ready to come to the table to get to work on a deal that centers the American people and lowers costs for my constituents.
It’s time to move forward – Oregonians can’t afford this shutdown.
🚨 DEADLINE EXTENDED 🚨

The Individuals with Disabilities Act is already severely underfunded.
That's why I introduced the IDEA Full Funding Act to make sure our kids with disabilities are
receiving the support they need in the classroom.
The decision to fire the Department of Education staff who oversee special education is completely unacceptable.
As the mother of a child with a disability, this is personal – we can't leave our kids behind.

This is not a good use of taxpayer money.
Healthcare costs are skyrocketing, service members are working without pay, and Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
It's time this administration put Americans first.

Following reports that federal agents deployed to Portland by President Trump have been using excessive force against my constituents, I’m demanding answers from Secretary Noem.
These raids undermine the principles our country was founded on. Enough is enough.
Yesterday, I went to check out the scene outside the ICE facility in “war-ravaged” Portland.
All I saw were Oregonians using their voices in peaceful protest.
Republicans are unwilling to come to the table to re-open the government, and as a result, over 20,000 people in CD5 could see their health insurance costs go up.
Yet, Speaker Johnson said he has “no strategy” going forward – Americans deserve better.
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
