A compilation of photos showing protests in nine different towns across Oregon. Salem, Portland, Grants Pass, La Grande, Roseburg, Corvallis, Tigard, Eugene, Hillsboro.
Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

Musk and DOGE are unilaterally making drastic, arbitrary, and cruel decisions about YOUR taxpayer dollars with NO transparency.
That has got to end. Elon Musk must come before Congress for a hearing and be held accountable to the American people.

Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

I deeply appreciate all the friends & family who have reached out to check-in on me. It gives me strength & hope when I feel so beaten down and fearful as a federal employee. I will hold the line & will stay as long as I can at the VA. I love & cherish the work I get to do with Veterans.
