Today we celebrated the completion of repairs on the Tillamook jetties, essential infrastructure that keeps mariners, fishermen, boaters, and the US Coast Guard safe. @wyden.senate.gov

Congratulations to the team that opened the brand new youth drop-in center, The Drop, in St. Helens! It is encouraging to see that students now have a safe place to study, build community, and receive needed services.

PIVOT Job Corps in Portland is supporting young people and getting them ready to enter the workforce. I met with educators and students at PIVOT and discussed their Medical Administrative Assistant program.

It was great to hear from the St. Helens community tonight at my town hall meeting! Thank you to everyone who attended.

Everywhere I go in NW Oregon, I hear about the need for more affordable housing.

I'm working with Senators Merkley and Wyden to resolve this issue so residents and businesses get their mail in a timely manner. If you're experiencing issues getting your mail, please contact my office at 503-469-6010. @merkley.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov

Tonight was the inaugural meeting of my Youth Advisory Council. It was wonderful to speak with these civically engaged students from across NW Oregon!

The Treasury Department's school voucher regulations clearly demonstrate that the Trump administration has no interest in supporting public schools or the students they serve. 🧵

Many students are parents, so access to affordable child care is essential to them being able to stay enrolled and earn a degree. 🧵

Pittock Mansion is wonderful part of Portland and its history, and a perfect place to check out views of the city and a Wildwood Crow! Find more crows across Portland at ohsufoundation.org/wildwood-fol...

The need for affordable housing is evident in every part of NW Oregon. I've worked with Bienestar--an organization that is thoughtfully and intentionally building housing with needed support for Oregonians--and I was honored to receive Bienestar's Campeón Comunitario Award!

I stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers in their fight for a fair contract.

We had a great visit at Portland Syrups, a thriving, growing business in Portland’s Central Eastside. Trump’s reckless tariffs and trade wars make things chaotic and expensive for businesses that export and import.

The Trump administration now has immigration courts across the country, including in Portland, OR and Tacoma, WA, holding expedited “mega master” hearings with hundreds of cases heard in a single day.

For the past 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has banned the use of federal funds for abortion care. Now is the time to end Hyde and let decisions be made by patients and providers, not politicians. #EndHydeNOW @reprocaucus.bsky.social

It was great to connect with Oregon AFSCME members, who do important work in behavioral health, state government, and more.

Donald Trump and Linda McMahon are now excluding LGBTQI+ students from Title IX protections. This is cruel and dangerous.

Here he goes again. Donald Trump is trying to cancel funding Congress approved, including millions of dollars for migrant students and international education programs. That's illegal.

This grant funding is long overdue for Columbia Memorial Hospital and everyone who lives on or visits the Oregon Coast. The BRIC grant for this lifesaving vertical evacuation structure should never have been jeopardized, and we’ve fought long and hard for it to be released.

It’s time for my fall town hall meetings! I will be in Beaverton, St. Helens, and Astoria in October. Please bring your concerns, ideas, and questions. I hope you will join me.

Some Oregonians have up to seen 5x increases on their student loan repayment plans. Oregonians deserve better than to struggle through massive student debt loans. Republicans have made it harder for people to pay off loans since their Big Ugly Bill took effect.

I had a great time back at the Adelante Mujeres Farmers Market in Forest Grove! 🥕 This market is part of the community and it was a joy - and delicious - to connect with local farmers and vendors.

Suzanne Bonamici @repbonamici.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I chose to focus on a real problem: the SAVE plan is ending, and more than 7 million student loan borrowers may be affected. Students who still have remaining balances will see their rates increase up to five times what they were paying under the SAVE plan. This is unacceptable.

How it started: 🎀 ✂️ ..... How it's going: :🛒💯 It was great to be back at the Centro mercado to celebrate all the wonderful work they do to make sure no neighbor goes hungry and that people have access to culturally appropriate food.

Scientists need to be able to conduct research without political interference. Trump's policy to defund and restrict emerging bioscience leaves us less prepared to confront the next public health crisis and is driving researchers to other countries. @sciencedems.bsky.social

When a tsunami hits, every second matters when evacuating to higher ground. Advances in data modeling can improve evacuation routes, provide more warning time, and help design the buildings coastal Oregon needs to save lives.

Having access to affordable and convenient places to take garbage, recycling, and household toxics keeps our communities cleaner and increases recycling. Thank you Metro Councilor Christine Lewis and the team at the Metro Transfer Station for all you do.

AI is already shaping how students learn and how people earn a living, but federal rules and regulations to protect students, support workers, and enforce ethical standards do not exist. 🧵

Innovations in disaster mitigation can save lives, but emergency responders and communities in crisis need data they can actually use. Preventing the next wildfire and keeping Oregonians safe requires coordination and clear information at every level.

Artificial intelligence can improve disaster preparedness and response, but we need clear rules and safeguards so powerful models don't cause the next disaster. @sciencedems.bsky.social

Public schools should prepare students to be creative, critical thinkers who will succeed regardless of what path they take in life. But right now students and schools are facing new and complicated challenges, including digital distraction and generative AI.

Wishing all who observe Yom Kippur a meaningful day of prayer and an easy fast.

The Trump administration’s new interpretation of the “public charge” rule will take effect today. This rule will add to the fear immigrant families are experiencing because of Trump’s cruel policies. Here’s what you need to know:

Republicans sent us home until November after working only three days this week. This is ridiculous.

My Transforming Education for the Future Act will open doors of opportunity, support students and teachers, and foster a well-rounded public education system.

It's been one year since Trump and McMahon started their campaign of mass layoffs and illegal dismantling the Department of Education. They have consistently attacked public education, which is designed to serve all students, and instead push for privatization. 🧵

Suzanne Bonamici @repbonamici.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I stand with my Democratic colleagues in the fight for an affordable America. Trump’s reckless and costly war, cuts to food assistance, skyrocketing health care costs, and chaotic tariff policies are pushing families to the brink. 🧵

Suzanne Bonamici @repbonamici.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Programs like Head Start help make the future brighter for children and their families. But the Trump administration is trying to get rid of the high standards that make Head Start effective and successful. 🧵

What does "giving education back to the states" really mean, and what is the Trump admin trying to do to the Department of Education? Let's talk about it.

Many families are struggling to put food on the table, especially since the cuts in H.R. 1 (the Big Ugly Law). During #malnutritionawarenessweek, let’s focus on the federal programs that are effective in addressing malnutrition and hunger. 🧵

It has been 25 years since the tragic events of September 11th, but I remember it like it was yesterday. We asked ourselves why. We mourned and cried and hung up our American flags. I doubt that we will ever fully recover, but we will never forget. 🧵
