I don’t mess around when it comes to our city.
We don’t want this, and we don’t need this.

No matter the audience, my message is the same: Republicans own this shutdown.
The ball is in their court.
Time is running out for Republicans to put the American people first and keep the government open.
If we shut down tonight, it's on them.
If Republicans can’t get keep the government open, our federal firefighters will have to work without pay. Today, I introduced a bill to change that.
The Federal Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act ensures our firefighters are compensated and won’t be fired during a shutdown.
As we head towards a government shutdown, I want to make sure you have all of the resources you need.
Visit my website for more information about the state of play, what a shutdown means for you, and which services might be interrupted.

Thank you to the nearly 13,000 of you who joined my telephone town hall last night to talk about the looming shutdown and Trump’s attempt to take over Portland.
I’m in DC fighting for you – thank you for being in this fight with me.
We didn't ask for Trump's intervention, and we don't need it.
What our city actually needs is for him to run us our money.
🚨TELEPHONE TOWN HALL TODAY 🚨
This evening at 5:30PM PT, I’ll be hosting an open-to-all telephone town hall to talk all things shutdown and Trump’s attempted takeover of Portland.
If you’d like to listen in, you can visit my website: bynum.house.gov/TTH
We need to reverse the healthcare cuts and start making real progress on lowering costs, but it’s clear that Republicans have no interest in doing that.
Instead, they’re shutting down the government.
I didn’t stutter: there will be no federal takeover of Portland.
Republicans are acting like they don’t control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency – they do.
If they can’t get their act together to avoid a shutdown, it’s on them.
My heart goes out to the families impacted by the shooting in Michigan today.
Everybody should feel safe from the threat of gun violence in their place of worship.
Trump has taken away money for projects across Oregon and given it to billionaires.
If he actually wants to do something for us, he can run us our money.
Nobody asked for this. We don't need or want troops in our city, Mr. President.

Oregon Rep. @bynum.house.gov calls President Trump’s threat to use military force in Portland “little boy energy” and says, “the last time Trump sent his goons to town, we ran them out....He knows he lost, and he wants to come back.”
Stay out of my city. You want to do something? Run us our money.
A lack of staff at the VA has led to gaps in care and unrealistic wait times for benefit applications.
@reptedlieu.bsky.social and I are pushing for answers on how this administration plans to make sure our veterans get the care they’ve earned and deserve.
Oregonians are being left behind by House Republicans, who would rather let the government shut down than reverse the cuts they made to healthcare.
I won’t stand for it.
