I ended up not feeling well and can’t make it, but still want to put it out into the universe.

We’re joining Congresswoman Maxine Dexter at 5:45pm tonight for this tele-town hall on her Facebook page. We’ll be taking questions from Oregonians about our fight at the federal level.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

For all my friends that might need this info:

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

How much is it costing taxpayers for Trump to fly in and out of Mar-a-lago every week? Probably equivalent to the salary of a Park Ranger.

Spineless republicans. And the democrats need to wake up.

Yup. California and New York float the American economy.

No, 150-year-olds aren't collecting Social Security benefits. Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud; but there's a much simpler explanation.

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

Probation just means new hires OR employees who have been promoted or transferred to a new position for less than a year.

Not My President Day march at Portland City Hall. Great turnout! www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Portland Metro folks: SW Indivisible Resistance is organizing an Anti-Musk protest! Meet them at the Tesla Dealership and make your displeasure known! This Friday: February 21 4 – 5:30pm PST @act4d.bsky.social www.mobilize.us/actfordemocr...

Prius at 0:16 doing the ope let me sneak by you real quick

This is a very important distinction that I think is getting lost in translation. Probation doesn’t mean the employee got in trouble. It doesn’t even always mean they are new hires. They could just be in a new position within the agency. Optics matter.

My family will be at Portland City Hall tomorrow, 2/17, at 12pm. Come join us!

Portland City Hall!!

Wyden town hall had great turnout, but unfortunately, no real answers. Just promises of the same old, same old. Lots of talk about grassroots organizing being important, but no guidance or suggestions from Wyden. This was such a great opportunity to tell people what THEY can actually do.

How is this real life? Asking for a nation.

Cool, cool. Totally normal thing to say.

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us. And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

At the Ron Wyden town hall. At capacity in the gym plus people in the halls.

Heading to the Ron Wyden town hall! Washington County Town Hall February 15, 2025 @ 12:00 pm Poynter Middle School 1535 NE Grant St. Hillsboro, OR Doors will open 30 minutes before for attendees. For everyone’s security, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed in the town hall.

Attended my first virtual @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social Oregon meeting! They’re every Friday at 4pm.

This is not a good combination of trending topics 😬

Sums it up quite nicely: They’re eating the checks! They’re eating the balances!

REI supported a Trump nominee who is all about oil drilling, but don’t worry, REI is now shocked about his betrayal: “That’s why we’re calling on Secretary Burgum to rescind the sweeping orders undermining the public lands enjoyed by millions of Americans each year” www.ourrei.com/2025-rei-boa...

See here's how to do a headline. fortune.com/2025/02/13/e...

Word.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

And the Dems are just throwing up their hands and saying “what can we do?” even though McConnell’s playbook is right there. Heck, it seems like he’d be willing to give some pointers right about now. www.teenvogue.com/story/rfk-ju...

#Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from #ElonMusk, #HeritageFoundation & certain governments🇺🇸 #politics www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

And these samples were collected in September! “Any detection of asymptomatic or mild cases in this study just tells me we're missing cases." One veterinarian in the study practiced in Georgia and South Carolina, states that had no known bird flu infections among cattle.” www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️
