Grocery prices are already too high, and the President hasn’t done anything to help. Americans need relief. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @meng.house.gov talks about how the Trump Administration’s policies are only making it more difficult for hardworking families to make ends meet.

The pressure in question:

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

(He doesn’t care)

Trump & Musk's reckless decision to eliminate the office that provides services for seniors and Americans with disabilities risks their safety and ability to live independently. Committee Democrats won’t be silent. Starting today, Republicans have 14 legislative days to answer.

It’s been one month since Signalgate and Pete Hegseth still has not been fired.

This guy hates the Constitution. And those hats look like shit.

Donald Trump’s attacks on @ActBlue are authoritarianism in action.

Trump’s scared that he can’t beat Democrats fair and square—so he’s rigging the system.

BREAKING: Democrats just beat the Trump admin in court.

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social is in the house šŸ”„

Get ā€˜em, @abreezeclayton.bsky.social

With all the fuss about David Hogg & his "Leaders We Deserve" PAC, I decided to take a look at LWD's FEC filings from the 2023-2024 cycle. I'm presenting this without making any judgement, as I'm neither a lawyer nor an accountant & have never run a PAC. 1/ www.fec.gov/data/disburs...

Elon Musk is a coward and a fraud.

At the University of Portland, I saw students shaping the future–engineering next-gen wildfire tracking systems, advancing aeronautics, and training to become the medical professionals of tomorrow. Their passion, innovation, and dedication give me real hope for what’s ahead.

On Yom HaShoah we honor the memories of the six million Jewish victims murdered during the Holocaust and the millions of innocent people who were persecuted by the Nazi regime because of who they were or who they loved.

ICYMI: I am participating in the Library of Congress Surplus Books Program, which distributes FREE books to local libraries, schools, and other organizations in our community! Check out the clip below or visit salinas.house.gov/books to learn more šŸ“– šŸ‘‡

Part of our interview this morning on Morning Joe on @msnbc.com talking about Oregon leading a multi state lawsuit on Trump’s tariffs.

I serve in the minority party in Congress, but it’s clear that many Oregonians and Americans don’t agree with Trump and unelected billionaire Musk’s reckless actions that threaten vital services and the global economy.

Yesterday I got to meet with Unite Oregon to discuss their 2025 priorities. I appreciate their advocacy for students, patients and renters! #orpol

Trump's nominee to head up CBP was involved in an alleged cover-up and obstruction of investigations into the death of an immigrant in US custody. If true, no one can trust him to be in charge of millions of border searches every day.

Many people left comments on a recent clip I posted where the Education Secretary confused A.I. with A1. One commenter called the Secretary a ā€œDEI hireā€ but as another person wrote, we should be really calling her and the rest of Trump’s Cabinet ā€œnepo hires.ā€

During my listening session in #Tigard with small business owners, I heard firsthand how President Trump’s tariff policies are making it harder & more costly for them to operate. This means higher prices for consumers, which is not what Americans want. Read the full article ā¬‡ļø

Donald Trump is shutting down programs that help our kids succeed – and he doesn’t have the power to do it. I signed onto an amicus brief to not only protect the Department of Education, but to also protect our democracy.

Congratulations to the students of the 2025 All-Oregon Academic Team. This honor is awarded to high-achieving two-year college students. Their accomplishments are a testament to academic excellence, leadership, and a strong commitment to serving our community. Congrats!

Oregon needs to build >100,000 homes to meet the need & solve our housing crisis. We’re working to cut red tape to help us build more middle housing types (think duplexes & condos) that are more affordable & offer more choices for Oregonians #ORleg #ORpol oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/03/04/o...

Today is University of Oregon day at the Capitol! It was great visiting with these students advocating for the textbook affordability, student housing and the Oregon Opportunity Grant. #GoDucks

A cup of coffee & conversations with Oregonians at Silverton Coffee Station – what could be better? ā˜• Thanks to all who came out in Silverton! I’m looking forward to more Brews with Bynum stops across the district!

The best part of my job is meeting with all of you. Whether there are two of you or two hundred, I'll always show up. Read more about my day in Silverton! šŸ”—: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/04/23/i...

Medical privacy is reserved for MAGA fans who came up with phony excuses not to wear a mask during the depths of the pandemic.

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?

REMINDER: Seniors town hall meeting with Representatives Suzanne Bonamici and Andrea Salinas. TOMORROW, Thursday, April 24,, 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM Conestoga Recreation Center Gym (9985 SW 125th Ave, Beaverton, OR 97008) Learn more: bonamici.house.gov/about/events...

We could have had this man for Vice President, instead of a authoritarian lackey.

I’m all in for Lauren Underwood to be the next Senator of Illinois.

Lauren Underwood for Senate.

Not for nothing but ā€˜Genocide Joe’ wouldn’t have deported you for protesting, even when the person being protested was him.

Trump is proposing a Medal of Motherhood just like Hitler did. BTW receipt of the Honour of German Motherhood Magda Goebbels murdered her children in Hitler’s bunker.

Housing costs are already too high – and Trump and Republicans are making it even worse. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repkamlagerdove.bsky.social breaks down what’s happening and how Democrats are working to lower costs.

Trump’s war on retirees: dismantling Social Security and destroying 401k plans.

A Florida Republican tried defending DOGE at a town hall. It did not go well.

Stores like Best Buy and AutoZone have said they will need to raise prices because of Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social on Trump: The fact that he is unwilling to listen to the Supreme Court is a fire alarm moment in this country.

Elon Musk and his arrogant little minions tried to break America. We will send him packing and they will fail.

@durbin.senate.gov, thank you for your leadership in the Senate. Illinois was lucky to have a dedicated fighter for working people and the most vulnerable among us. We owe you a debt of gratitude, and I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in the remainder of your term.

Prices for food and housing are up in Nevada and across the country. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social explains how Trump and Republicans are making America even more expensive.
