Happy 167th Birthday, Oregon! On Feb. 14, 1859, Oregon became the 33rd state. Today, we remember Oregon’s past and look toward the future.

Maria should not be in detention. I spoke out at a hearing in DC because she should be home with her kids and her husband, who just had surgery. No family should have to go through this pain.

Congresswoman: Immigration Enforcement Is Turning Schools into Places of Fear | Opinion Congress has the power to set clear guardrails. It is time to use it.

Students are suffering as this administration's inhumane mass deportation policies turn schools into places of fear. I will not be silent while children are in danger and afraid.

Getting rid of a manual designed to help judges understand the science behind climate change is short-sighted and small-minded.

Climate Change Is Erased From a Manual for Federal Judges

This is another step in the Trump administration’s plan to ignore facts and deny climate change.

The increase in extreme weather events, dirtier air and water, and high costs that devastate Oregonians and Americans are real. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/c...

The AIDNW team provides a vital safety net for those who have been detained, and I am thankful for their continued work in Tacoma.

When immigrants and asylum seekers are released, advocates for Immigrants in Detention Northwest (AIDNW) connects then with essential services, including food, clothes, phone access, and transportation.

I recently visited the ICE Detention Center in Tacoma, and after meeting with Oregonians in detention I spoke with workers and volunteers at AIDNW. 🧵

Please join Attorney General Rayfield and me at 6pm on February 24th. Sign up to receive a call at bonamici.house.gov/live

Attorney General Rayfield has fought tirelessly against Trump's overreach, and I am excited to host this town hall meeting with such a tireless defender of the law and the Constitution.

I will not sit in the State of the Union while Donald Trump lies, demonizes immigrants, and threatens democracy. Instead, I will use this time to speak with my constituents about their concerns and hopes for OR-01. I am grateful to announce that @agdanrayfield.bsky.social will be joining me. 🧵

The federal government doesn't set curriculum; that's done by local school boards and states. My Democratic colleagues and I oppose politicizing education and will work with students, parents, and educators so every student receives a high-quality education in a safe, well-funded environment.

Before this couple got married during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, they got engaged in Oregon The couple that got married in front of Bad Bunny and the world at the Super Bowl has a romantic connection to Oregon.

Cannon Beach in OR-01 is a beautiful place to get engaged! Congratulations to the married couple! 💍 🏖️

The administration's policy decisions are catastrophic, especially for rural health care. I will keep fighting until my constituents have access to affordable, accessible health care and education.

Donald Trump is making it more difficult for people to work in health care occupations at the same time he's making it harder for Oregonians and Americans to get care.🧵

I know how important child care is in the well-being of children and families, and I will keep fighting against cutting these essential services.

Scott, Sanders, Bonamici, 71 Lawmakers Slam Trump Administration for Making Child Care More Expensive | Education & Workforce Committee Democrats Education & Workforce Committee Democrats

As Oregonians and Americans continue to experience a cost-of-living crisis, RFK wants to get rid of affordable and accessible child care for working families. 🧵

OCR exists for a reason -- its attorneys enforce federal civil rights laws so all students can have equal access to education that is free from harassment and discrimination. Linda McMahon must do more to protect students.

Secretary McMahon fired hundreds of lawyers and staff at the Office for Civil Rights, and now the Department of Education is facing a major backlog of civil rights complaints. I led 70 of my House colleagues to demand answers. 🧵

Her husband is having surgery in just a few days and her children need her. I’m advocating for her release.

Yesterday at the ICE detention facility I met Maria, an amazing woman who was going to the store when armed and masked ICE agents surrounded her car, broke her window, dragged her out, and locked her up even though she has absolutely no criminal record.

Meet the Oregon skiers and snowboarders headed to the 2026 Winter Olympics These four athletes are going from the Oregon Cascades to the Italian Alps for the Olympics.

Oregon is represented well by four athletes competing in Milan. Alessandro, Sean, Hunter, and Jackie: we’re cheering for you and the team from afar!

I will keep doing all I can to protect Oregonians from ICE violence and to advocate for people who have been separated from their families without due process.

I just visited Oregonians who are locked in ICE detention in Tacoma. ICE is not making us safer -- they are indiscriminately grabbing community members off the streets. 🧵

@raskin.house.gov and I led 69 of our colleagues in demanding that Trump keep this institution open. An attack on the Kennedy Center is an attack on history and culture across the country, setting a dangerous precedent.

Democrats demand answers about Trump’s plans to renovate the Kennedy Center In a new letter first obtained by MS NOW, Democrats say Trump's decision to close the Kennedy Center is unlawful.

Donald Trump closing the Kennedy Center and attempting to add his name to this cultural institution flies in the face of the respected history of bipartisan investment in arts, culture, and freedom of expression. 🧵

The racist post shared by President Trump depicting President Obama and First Lady Obama as monkeys is vile and indefensible.
 
Dehumanizing Black Americans is racist, rooted in hatred, and has no place in our politics.

I voted against funding DHS and ICE. As funding talks continue, the American people deserve safeguards and accountability against further violence.

Meals on Wheels provides food delivery services and promotes socialization, wellness, and safety checks. I introduced H.Res. 1002 to recognize the importance of the Older Americans Act nutrition programs in supporting seniors across Oregon and the country.

As the Trump administration's reckless economic policies continue to raise costs, essential nutrition programs like Meals on Wheels support older Americans and people with disabilities. 🧵
