President Trump and Sec. Noem really want to make Portland look like a city full of chaos and destruction, but no one's buying it.
What she saw yesterday is what our city sees everyday: Oregonians standing up for what they believe in and making their voices heard.
"War-ravaged"? Give me a break.

Every week the Republicans fail to come to the table and re-open the government, it costs our economy $15 BILLION.
Oregonians can't afford this shutdown. It's gone on far too long.

The Central Oregon Disability Support Network provides essential support for thousands of children with disabilities in Oregon.
This funding is a lifeline for so many of our rural families – I’ll continue to fight to restore it.
It's been a week since Republicans shut down the government to avoid addressing the healthcare crisis they created.
Oregonians deserve lower costs and access to care, not this chaos.
It’s been 2 years since Hamas' brutal Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. Today, we remember the innocent lives lost & recommit ourselves to securing lasting peace in the region.
We must continue to work to end the war, deliver humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people & secure the release of the hostages.
The Trump administration is stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for clean energy projects in our state.
We need to be lowering costs and investing in a clean energy future, not playing political games.

I said it last week and I’ll say it again now: the President is using the National Guard as his toy soldiers – we won’t accept that.
Trump is continuing to pit Americans against Americans, and that’s un-American.
How much clearer do we need to be – stay out of our city.
Three hundred California National Guard members are on their way to Oregon on President Trump’s orders after a judge blocked his deployment of federal troops to Portland, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced. https://cnn.it/4h0sLJ4
This ruling confirms what I’ve been saying: we don’t need this.
Now the President should drop this nonsense and run us our money.

If Republicans let healthcare tax credits expire, 23,000 people in CD5 will see their healthcare costs go up.
Prices are high enough already. We need to be making care more affordable, not less.
Now that we’re in a shutdown, our federal firefighters are being forced to work without pay – that’s unacceptable.
That’s why I introduced the Federal Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act.
It’s day 3️⃣ of the Republican shutdown.
We need a budget that reverses healthcare cuts and puts the American people first – it’s time for them to come to the table.
Deploying troops to Portland is a waste of money and a distraction from the fact that the Trump administration has stolen millions of dollars from projects across our state.
Run us our money.

Everywhere I go in CD5, people tell me they need healthcare costs to go down.
I’ll keep fighting until everyone has access to the care they need where they need it and whenever they need it.
Republicans may have shut down the government, but my office is still open!
We’re here answering your calls, meeting with constituents, and working for CD5.
If you need anything, give us a call at (503)387-8651!
Members should play by the same rules as the people they represent.
It would not be right for me to continue to be paid while public servants in Oregon are not receiving their salaries through no fault of their own.
That's why, until the government reopens, I will be withholding my pay.
CD5, it is your stories that fuel this fight.
If you’ve been impacted by the government shutdown, I want to hear from you – you can share your stories with me at the link below ⬇️

The President is hiding from the fact that he’s stolen millions of dollars from our state.
We don’t want your troops in our city – we want you to run us our money.
Last night, Republicans decided they’d rather shut down the government than make healthcare more affordable.
We need a budget that centers the American people – not billionaires. They need to quit playing games and get to work.
