Lori Chavez Deremer got a promotion after losing her congressional seat. Instead of looking out for her would be constituents, she rewards her friends…

Federal agents are trying to bait peaceful protesters.

buff.ly/GyBNZQk Federal officers are instigating violence against just protestors past their authority. Some may claim, "they're defending govt property". Untrue. ENTIRE BLOCKS away, officers attacked peaceful demonstrators. Including an elderly Vietnam vet and his wife; the wife got a concussion.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

America is under attack from within like never before in its modern history. Its defenders must adopt a warΒ footing. If the Union is to be saved β€” again β€” then Democratic-led, Democratic-governed states like Washington, Oregon, and California are going to have to step up and break out of old paradigms that assume the federal government is a friend.

One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.

Considering Lori was drinking buddies with Shannon Monihan and her literal bomb throwing militant boyfriend, we’re not surprised that she would wish state violence on her former constituents.

It’s still pathetic and weak, though.

Editorial: A short list of good things Bend legislators delivered Better health care and improving a cultural asset are just some of the wins for Central Oregon from the Oregon Legislature.

This session, I was proud to work w/ @emerson4or.bsky.social, Rep. Kropf, and Sen. Broadman to fund important capital projects in Central Oregon: expanded care at Mosaic, a new emergency hub, a child psychiatric facility, the High Desert Museum, & more

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.

Bend, I'm on a break from the socials, but just here to say y'all rock. Incredible peaceful protest today. My voice is hoarse from talking to people. My legs hurt from doing a bike race after the protest, ha. Gorgeous weather and community, a perfect Bend day. Thank you everyone ❀️

House Agriculture Committee approves $300 billion in nutrition spending cuts The bill will force states to take on more costs of the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

ICYMI: Republicans are stripping 42 million Americans of food for their kids and families – and they're proud of it.

Students will go hungry, people will suffer, and it's all so they can put more money in the pockets of the top 1%.

Had a great weekend in Deschutes! Thank you to everyone who came out to our town hall.

I’m bringing your stories back to DC with me today to continue the fight against Republicans’ devastating cuts to Medicaid.

I'm demanding an investigation into the Trump administration's apparent use of the knockoff Signal app, TeleMessage. Senior government officials using a shoddy, foreign-owned communications app poses massive national security and counterintelligence threats.

Oregon, I hear you – and I’m with you in the fight against the Trump administration.

Thank you, AG Dan Rayfield, for hosting this important town hall.

Showing up and engaging in these conversations is how we push back and fight for the country we all deserve.

We packed a lot in this weekend in Bend – a town hall, site visits, and lunch at a small business!

Now, back to DC to hold Speaker Johnson accountable for failing to put legislation on the floor to lower costs and make life better for Oregonians.

Chavez-DeRemer's labor department threatens 'serious legal consequences' for talking to journalists β€’ Oregon Capital Chronicle A top official in the Department of Labor informed all staff members that they could face criminal charges if they speak to journalists.

β€œIt’s been horrible. It’s been a deeply exhausting roller coaster,” the employee said. β€œIt’s very difficult to work when you’re in a constant state of being terrorized by your employer.”

In rural Oregon, U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum talks health care, business and fighting back U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Oregon, has been attending small gatherings in Silverton, where a few attendees showed up to discuss issues concerning their town. Many locals noted that previous representatives rarely visited their town, emphasizing the importance of being heard despite low turnout.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum, D-Oregon, had a promise for the crowd of dozens she faced on a coffee shop patio Saturday afternoon: She would go wherever her constituents wanted her to be.

β€œThere can be two of you and I will show up,” Bynum said.

Quite the place Lori Chavez Deremer is running.

Makes all those statements during the campaign telling you she’s a moderate seem like lies, huh?
