Democrats of Jefferson County Oregon

Need the energy to keep going on the work? I spend time with Ariella Elm's content for that.

The Republican "reasons" for closing down the government are lies. Please do what you can to learn and promote the truth.

We are going to do the work and we are going to win.

Imagine a leader would rather shut down the government than keep healthcare costs from skyrocketing. Well, there's a few hundred of them on the Republican side in DC. Call your representative and let them know what you think. https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Republicans are blocking an elected Representative from getting her right to vote to keep the Epstein files from coming out. That's it. That's the story. What do you think about that?

Refusing the normal practice of Democracy to protect the very guilty-looking Trump from revelations of what he did with Epstein? Seat the elected representative and let's see what's in those files.

Our rep, Cliff Bentz, is voting against his constituents and for billionaires. We find it…frustrating.

Who is buying what the Rs are selling? The Republicans are stopping the pay to soldiers and refusing to negotiate. The Democrats want to keep the price of healthcare from rising. The Democrats are willing to meet. The Republicans locked the door of the chamber.

Peaceful Portland.

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: This nation has decided we're not going to be afraid of a would-be dictator, that we still have power.

YouTube video by MeidasTouch 🚨 Trump SUDDENLY CANCELS Meeting to STOP SHUTDOWN!!

Trump thinks he can blame Democrats for this shut down. But they are not being very subtle about it. Dems are asking for the continuation of ACA health care tax credits which keep EVERYONE's health care costs down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qYb...

From the 2025 Jefferson County Democrats Chair, Joel has a great message for us all today.

Trump administration sues Oregon for refusing to turn over voter data The administration is seeking sensitive information as part of its effort to root out suspected voter fraud.

Big news for Oregon, a lawsuit was filed on 9/16: US v OR to stop our legal, originally republican started, mail in voting rights. I'd love to hear @legalafmtn.bsky.social's take!

We are the leaders. When you say "Do something" who are you talking to?

Our new Vice Chair Eric Timmerman is out at Madras City Hall with the County Clerk for @natlvoterregday.bsky.social registering folks for Democracy. Thanks to Clerk Katy Zemke for organizing. There are registration tables in Madras, Warm Springs, and Crooked River Ranch today.

You can watch or listen to Cliff Bentz's next tele town hall here: https://bentz.house.gov/live Mark you calendars for Wednesday.

Congressman Cliff Bentz says he can't do his job because of the intimidations of a bunch of 70 year olds. So naturally they made a rap video about him.

Statement of the Oregon Democratic Party Chair Nathan Soltz on the murder of Conservative leader Charlie Kirk.

Democrats overperformed +16 in special elections (so far!)

Voters across the country are fired up and ready to mobilize—and win.

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants.

People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?”

This is authoritarian control in real time.

Cliff Bentz's recent email about why he won't do town halls claimed it was because of @indivisible.org being a "threatening" organization. You know, looking at Indivisible's website, their commitment to non-violence really jumps out https://indivisible.org/commitment-nonviolence

Why does Bentz need my cell phone number to allow me to attend his tele town hall Monday?

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

Mark your calendars: October 18. We still say No Kings.

Our friends in @crookcountydems.bsky.social know this pain.

Somewhere near you, like minded people are gathering tomorrow. The Mobilize website will help you find them. See you out there.

Wow that glasses harness thing is dorky. Good thing I couldn't see myself.

Quick dirty update on the happenings of Jefferson County Dems. August 27.
