As someone who has previously needed to put back groceries for not having enough $ despite food stamps and WIC assistance, I thank you for your kindness from the very bottom of my heart. ❤️

This is who

I not only believe that access to abortion healthcare is a fundamental right, I believe that politicians who deny such access are practicing medicine without a license, which is a crime in Oregon (ORS 677.080(4) and ORS 677.990(2)).

You have got to be kidding me. 👀
1. Not “his” district. An actual Dem beat him by 10 points because of his piss poor votes, corporate greed, and antipathy.
2. His consistent underperformance was masked because the original district was a D+7 compared to redrawn D+1.
Kurt Schrader, an OR Dem who lost his primary and saw his district picked up by a Republican, told me this: “We are supposed to be a big tent party, historically. We should get back to that, respect the fact that we all have different opinions, represent different districts well”
BREAKING: Rep. Jasmine Crockett ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS the Biden Impeachment Inquiry & Donald Trump!

Y’all, it’s my 48th BIRTHDAY WEEK! 🎉
I have one wish: to get my wife,

We need smart, competent, kind, compassionate, & tenacious people in Congress & Jamie’s it! LET’S GOOO!
Today, we should be commemorating the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, we're lamenting the demise of this fundamental constitutional right.

I use my little collection to bring honey with me on trips. I’m a black tea with honey girl and you’d be surprised with how often those things aren’t offered. They’re my go-to!
Today, I signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law.
We are reaffirming a fundamental truth: Love is love, and Americans should have the right to marry the person they love.
Over 5,000 Oregon students participated in the League of Women Voters’ mock election.
“For the congressional races, Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner of Terrebonne won with 73% in the 5th District…”
Let’s prove the students right!

Jamie shows up for us. Let’s show up for her.

and I had a blast at tonight’s BowWow Bingo benefiting BrightSide Animal Center at Cascade Lakes at 7th St in Redmond! The Halloween costumes were great!
Bingo raised $850 for Brightside tonight! WOOT! 🐶🐱
No wonder why I had such a strong, visceral reaction to Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s use of “Oregon First” in the debate last night. Absolute dog whistle and reminiscent of the “America First” rhetoric we’ve heard before. Horrific.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if an informative and fun video about civics went viral instead of some retread doomsday post about our politics?
A guy can dream. 🤷♂️

Just learned that I get called “That Wife” by a bunch of folks in the political arena. Not ever my name but “That Wife.”
And I am so HERE FOR IT!
I might just get a campaign shirt with that on the back…😎 Thanks for the inspiration! 😈
Always and forever,

It’s a cornbread kinda morning.

The DCCC abandoned Skinner and she still came so close. She’s been an absolutely stellar candidate. She could have won with more support. She’s a sincere, honest person who would have fought hard for her constituents.
3. He then refused to endorse that Dem nominee who beat him and actively worked against her and other Dems.
Kurt has no concept of what a big tent is. All he knows is his tent. And if he couldn’t be in it, no one could.
It’s not every day your marriage is reported on by WaPo, but here we are. ❤️🤷🏻♀️😏

My heart is exploding. It’s been many months since these two were couch bookends - since Tege’s surgeries in July and August. We turned a corner last night in her healing and now she’s back to her regular spots. ❤️🥹🥹❤️
For those who haven’t been part of Tege’s journey this whole time. 2 surgeries for malignant mass removal and many weeks of cones/leg suits/embarrassing garments. First photo is after she popped the stitches of the first surgery. 🤦🏽♀️
How it started. How it’s going.
We had to jacket Dolly since Lily and Jane always pick on her and don’t snuggle with her (

Have a heater set up in the goat shed, all chickens and goats have heated water and plenty of food. Let’s get through this.
Y’all…we’re getting honey from our hives!! I’ve been beekeeping for ~ 3 years and this is the first time I’ve had a strong enough colony to harvest - only got 5 frames but better than nothin! 1/3

🗣️We’re coming for all of these seats…especially NY & CA.
All of these chumps have been voting like there isn’t a care in the 🌎 . Nope. We’re going to make them pay at the ballot box for all their rubber stamp BS votes.

My wish? To get

He took this selfie video that night, in the streets of Kyiv, surrounded by his team. It is the most inspiring defense of democracy I’ve ever seen.
Congress must fund aid to Ukraine. To those willing to fight for democracy: today, we are all Ukrainian.
Phew…another D.C. daisy chain and circle jerk with Schrader. So much wrong with this piece it’s ridiculous.
1. He got beat handily by a woman (and a lesbian - don’t think that detail is irrelevant).
2. He’s sore about it.
3. He continues to undermine her.
4. End of story.
ICYMI: Dr. Samuel Metz and 55 other Oregon healthcare professionals sign an open letter to Kurt Schrader, asking him to take down his ads claiming he is lowering prescription drug prices.
