No one should have to choose between staying somewhere they're unsafe and leaving with nowhere to go. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I want survivors to know there are people ready to listen, help, and stand beside you. In Central Oregon, Saving Grace is one of them: 541-389-7021.

Mr. Obama - You’re right but not too much on #CheesecakeFactory

I’m always gonna fight for our babies.

Enough is enough.

Our babies are out here fighting for their lives. You better believe I’m showing up for them.

Gun violence is taking our kids. It’s on the adults to do something about it.

We should be able to watch our kids bounce into school with their backpacks on and know we’ll get to hug them again.

Messing with our kids is a FAFO kinda moment for me.

Parents shouldn’t have to wait for a crisis to get their child help. Keeping our kids safe means intervening early - and making sure families have somewhere to turn when they speak up.

We need to protect our babies better.

We will never forget these babies.

Oregon loves you.

Tonight, we all stand with Bend. In the worst of times, we can be our best to one another.

Our babies deserve better.

As we navigate the days ahead, I’m sharing resources below for anyone who needs support. Please keep checking in on each other. There’s no right way to feel right now. bynum.house.gov/resources/si...

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. We will always remember the light and life of our babies that we lost yesterday in Bend.

We want our babies to stop being shredded.

My #1 rule - don’t eff with my kids.

My heart and my prayers and everything else I got is with the families at Silver Rail Elementary.

You have opinions. I know you do. Today is the LAST day to register to vote in Oregon. Go register or check your registration before it’s too late! I promise it only takes a few minutes – you can literally do it from your couch.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day isn’t just about looking back. Native communities are part of Oregon’s story right now – raising families, leading communities, keeping traditions alive, and shaping what comes next. That deserves to be celebrated today and every day.

Scio, I brought a little something. And by “a little something,” I mean $1 million for the town hall. We can’t say we’re bringing money home if communities like this can’t actually feel the impact. This is about better local services and more resources here in Scio.

You can work hard your whole life, save your money, pay for insurance every month – and still have one diagnosis wipe out everything you built. I refuse to accept this as normal. Getting sick shouldn’t cost you the life you worked so hard to build. That’s why I’m cosponsoring Medicare for All.

POV: it’s 3 weeks from now, the App Challenge portal just closed, you never submitted, and our staffer is somewhere staring at the ceiling. Hope you’re happy 🫵

Let’s call it like we see it: Young people cannot afford to live in Donald Trump’s America.

Billionaires don’t need another bestie in Congress. Your voice and your vote belong to YOU, not the highest bidder.

Who am I to tell people how to spend their money or when? I just want it to be fair and transparent.

Silence doesn't keep people safe. #StopSexualViolenceDayofAction

No one should ever have to face their hardest moment alone. So I fought hard to bring back nationwide crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth that the Trump administration cut. Having someone at the other end of the line matters.

When you call 911, you shouldn’t have to wonder if there are enough firefighters to answer. I’m proud to have helped secure more than $1 million for Scio Rural Fire to put more firefighters on the job and make sure help is there when our neighbors need it most.

I love a book that makes me think twice, ask more questions, or see something differently – that’s the whole point of reading. I don’t need someone else deciding which ideas I’m allowed to read. Neither do you. 📚 #BannedBooksWeek

Shoutout to ChatGPT for sending Laura our way. 😂 So glad my team could help get her tax returns sorted. Having problems with a federal agency? You know who to call!

The best part of Oregon? The people! This #HispanicHeritageMonth, I’m celebrating the generations of Hispanic families who have helped shape our communities and friends like the Latino Community Association who keep building on that legacy.

College should open up your world. It should never make you afraid to live in it.

Let’s talk about what’s happening in Oregon, Congress, and everything in between. Ask me anything below ⬇️, and I’ll answer your questions in upcoming newsletters. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A teacher can be the difference between a kid thinking “I can’t do that” and “why not me?” Never underestimate that. #WorldTeachersDay

People need help after an emergency, and the faster that help comes, the better shot they have of rebuilding what was lost.

Gas is expensive. Food is expensive. Buying a house is expensive. Everything is expensive. And yet, the president and my Republican colleagues worry about literally anything else.

A little full-circle moment. Come with me back to Madeira, where I got to celebrate 60 years of Co-Curriculum and answer some questions from students about what it’s really like going from Madeira to the workforce, to the state legislature, to Congress.

Mr. President, are you listening? Mortgage rates are through the roof, and families are getting screwed. Stop the foreign wars. Your reckless borrowing and deficit taking is ruining our kids' futures! WTH!!

A water bill. A library book. Senior services. A birthday party. They might not sound like they have much in common, but in Scio, they can all happen under one roof. I brought home $1 million to help turn the outdated 66-year-old City Hall into a place that can keep showing up for this community.

Chin all the way up, Gresham Gophers. Barlow got one on you last week. But that’s why we get back up.

A same day notice to show up in court isn’t due process, it’s a trap. So I gave Trump a notice of my own: stop rushed immigration hearings right now.
