5 Democrats have filed with the Federal Elections Commission to run in CD5. Our chair encourages everyone to get to know all of the candidates running in the primary, and find the candidate who most represents your values and who you believe has what it takes to win in 2024. 🧵

Media polls may not always reflect reality. Let's not be disheartened by them. Focus on elections, not polls. Trump might use favorable polls for his narrative, but the real judgment is at the ballot box. #ElectionsMatter

[Nick Walden Poublon @NWPinPDX]

Trump is now shouting from the stage that he will bring an end to Obamacare. What does that mean?

The return of preexisting conditions.

High deductibles that are no longer capped.

Prescription prices that will increase.

Millions without insurance.

We cannot allow this man back into office.

This Thanksgiving, let's celebrate not just the abundance on our tables, but the connections we share with like-minded individuals. Gratitude for shared values and diverse perspectives enriches our gatherings. Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with meaningful connections and joy.

Nailed it. 💅

Affordable housing is not just a roof over our heads; it's the foundation for thriving communities. Everyone deserves a place to call home without breaking the bank. Let's work towards making housing accessible for all! 🏡

@NWPinPDX @Skinner1C Yessss Nick!!

[Linn County Democrats @LinnCoDems]

We empathize with this in a red county. We have to try!

[Renee @PettyLupone]

Idk if we’ll win a year from now.

But I know that we CAN win and that’s all that matters to me.

I will vote harder. And I will fight harder for what I want. And I will not be intimidated. And my mind cannot be changed. And you can’t shame me for it either.

And… that’s all.

[Linn County Democrats @LinnCoDems]

@OregonJTA We agree!

National Low Income Housing Coalition estimates there is a shortage of 7.2 million affordable and available rental homes for extremely low-income renters, defined as households earning less than 30% of the area median income.

In honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (@atnitribes) and their project, Changing Currents.

@LinnCoDems Ugh, so accurate and so sad. Housing is a human right!

[Madeline Ryan Smith @MadelineRyan4GA]

This may be radical, but I don’t think a group of male politicians between 55-90yo should be consulted for anything involving women’s healthcare.

A city ordinance banning public homosexuality has reached Rutherford County Libraries.

You read that correctly.

Now it is being used to potentially pull all LGBTQ+ books off of the shelves in a meeting Monday.

H.R. 1722 PASSES THE HOUSE! ✅

Last night, the first bill I introduced in Congress unanimously passed the House.

This legislation will be enormously consequential for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and for Indigenous peoples' rights in Oregon and across the country.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

BIG: The Senate passed funding to address the affordable housing and child care crisis, build infrastructure, and invest in our renewable energy future, including 20 community initiated projects right here in Oregon! https://t.co/PPiTXmOiul

It's important for us to understand why teachers are striking - and what more we can do to support them and all educational professionals - as they work to help prepare our kids for their future.

President Biden has confirmed 150 federal judges: 100 of them are women - double that of Trump & more than any other first-term president - and 98 are people of color. Fox News won’t tell you, but @JoeBiden is the most consequential president since FDR.

Incredible news. Andy Beshear wins reelection in Kentucky.

Just last month, Terry Schilling from the American Principles Project announced a plan to "create a wedge issue" out of trans kids in the state.

They then spent $2,000,000 on anti-trans ads.

Which failed. Again.
