Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva was elected to Congress more than TWO weeks ago!
It’s way past time to swear her in—but instead, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans fled Washington, D.C., refusing to do their JOBS.
Really makes you wonder what’s in those Epstein files…

The entire nation is talking about skyrocketing healthcare costs – and for good reason.
In this shutdown, we're holding the line against the Trump Administration's lawlessness to fight for a country we can all afford.
Reposted bySenator Jeff Merkley
Republicans would rather have widespread flight delays and a shuttered government than affordable health insurance for Americans.
Trump’s attempts to crush the Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly in Democratic cities are straight out of the authoritarian handbook.
I will fight to protect the fundamental rights of every Oregonian and every American.

Kristi Noem is in Oregon to further Trump's mission of inciting violence. Don't take the bait.
Invading our cities with troops to stoke violence only justifies tightening Trump’s authoritarian grip. Our community is strong and we'll take care of one another.
Democrats put forth two simple proposals: reverse attacks on health care and require the President to OBEY THE LAW by implementing bipartisan funding bills as written.
Instead of coming to the table to negotiate with Democrats, Republicans shut down the government.
A new KFF study shows that over 20 million Americans will have their ACA health care premiums MORE THAN DOUBLE because of the Republicans’ Big, Ugly BETRAYAL.
Instead of fixing the health care crisis THEY CREATED, Republicans shut down the government.

Why are Republicans keeping the government shut down when the solution is so simple?
Pass Democrats’ plan to restore ACA tax credits and prevent millions of hardworking families from receiving a massive increase in their health insurance costs.
This is the Republican legacy: ripping vital health care away from families.
The Republican Big, Ugly BETRAYAL budget gutted Medicaid.
Democrats are fighting to restore the health care families need.
Here’s what it all comes down to: Republicans shut down the government to avoid fixing the health care crisis THEY created.
If you’re dropped by your provider or your health insurance bill skyrockets, thank a Republican.
This is horrendous. The Trump Administration's flagrant disregard for the legal process directly threatens kids’ safety which is just plain wrong under any moral code.

Republicans are raising the cost of YOUR health care.
Republicans are exploding the price of YOUR utility bills.
And Republicans shut down the government and will grind the economy to a halt to avoid fixing the mess THEY made.
So let's protest -- but joyfully and peacefully. Do not get drawn into Trump's cycle of violence. It’s his goal to cite violence to justify more authoritarian power. Let's not let him achieve it.
Let’s show that Portland is a strong community where neighbors take care of each other.
This court ruling is a victory for rule of law.
There is no "rebellion" or "invasion" in PDX to justify federalizing Oregon's National Guard.
The president is not a king and Trump is shredding our Constitution.
Democrats put forth two straightforward proposals: reverse attacks on health care and require the President to FOLLOW THE LAW and implement funding bills as written.
Republicans chose to shut down the government.
Trump and Republicans are making people sicker and poorer. They shut down the government and will grind the economy to a halt because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis THEY created.
15 million people kicked off their health care.
Health insurance costs for families will massively increase.
Republicans shut down the government to make YOUR health care more expensive.
Republicans forced through the Big, Ugly BETRAYAL bill, and now Oregonians buying health insurance on the exchange could see the price of their policy go up by more than $1,300 per person!!!
Republicans are making YOUR health care more expensive.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.
Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.
Here’s the Republican vision: Families lose, billionaires win. That’s why they slashed YOUR health care to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Democrats are fighting for a better vision: Families win, and billionaires pay their fair share.
