[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit.

@GovTinaKotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care.

Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

[Coalition for Patient-Centered Care @CPCC_America]

Thank you to Gov. @TinaKotek and Rep. @BenBowman for signing Oregon HB 951 into law. This bill is critical to ensuring only doctors with their patients (and not private equity) are able to make healthcare decisions.

[Future Caucus @futurecaucus]

Congratulations to Oregon Future Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Emily McIntire and Rep. @BenBowman on your re-election to the Oregon state legislature! We're excited to continue working with you during the next legislative session. #orpol #orleg

[OR House Democrats @ORHouseDems]

We did our part, Oregon. Democrats will return to the Oregon State House with a strong majority. #orleg #orpol

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

[Tobias Read @TobiasRead]

Listen to leaders from across the state (and across the aisle) who have come together to encourage you to vote! Take a moment to listen. #orpol

DNC airs new “Freedom” ad to kick off the Democratic Convention

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Vice President @KamalaHarris is a proud mom of two remarkable stepchildren—and so am I. @CaptMarkKelly and I were trying to have a baby through IVF before I was shot and that dream was stolen from us. To suggest we are somehow lesser is disgraceful.

[Edward-Isaac Dovere @IsaacDovere]

The argument coming from Republicans is Harris—who had served 13 years as DA + AG before 3.5 years in the Senate—was a DEI hire for Biden, while JD Vance—who wrote a bestseller, worked in venture capital briefly & has been in the Senate 18 months was picked because of his résumé.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

An actual hero.

This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Political violence is terrifying. I know.

I’m holding former President Trump, and all those affected by today’s indefensible act of violence in my heart. Political violence is un-American and is never acceptable—never.

[Ben Bowman @BenBowman]

Political violence is unacceptable. It has no place in our democracy. We are better than this. I hope former President Trump is safe and recovers fully.

[Reagan Knopp @reaganknopp]

Now would be a good time to listen to @NigelJaquiss tell the incredible story of how he broke the news that Neil Goldschmidt had sexually abused a young girl. I highly recommend it if you don't know or forgot the details of this shocking story. #orpol https://t.co/sRIF65MROl

[The Lund Report @TheLundReport]

House Bill 4130 seeks to shield Oregon from the rapid expansion of private equity and other large corporations into health care.

.@RepBenBowman has a bill to prevent investors taking over OR medical practices. Studies show that leads to higher costs, poorer outcomes. But big capital is fighting it. @RepBenBowman https://t.co/TEKKZK1O4R

[The Lund Report @TheLundReport]

The recent move by @ProvHealth to drop a provider-owned Oregon anesthesiology firm for a company backed by private equity is fueling concerns in health care circles that @BenBowman hopes to address in the upcoming #orleg session. @jakethomas2009 reports: https://t.co/Nu8xyjAGCs
