Trump is desperate. He’s losing. And he’s behaving exactly how you’d expect the most corrupt president in history to behave. Stay focused. We win on Tuesday.

Here’s my friend and colleague the Executive Director of the MISSISSIPPI Dems talking about their incredibly tight US Senate Race on CNN today. Without infrastructure you cannot take advantage of candidate quality, you cannot take advantage of a Blue Wave.

There are going to be some incredible wins this year and some sad losses but let’s make no mistake that, this blue wave is powered by early investments in every state party. $25k a month into red states like MS and OK is why those states are on the map.

My body has developed a fun new trick where regardless of how late I was up working it wakes me up at 4:48 am every morning. 7 days till Election Day, 8 days till the lobotomy.

I am honored to have the endorsement of former State Senator Margaret Carter. Like she said, progress doesn't happen by accident. It takes us being willing to stand up, speak out, and fight for what's right – and that’s exactly what I will continue to do as your governor. Be sure to cast your ballot by November 3rd.

People who are mad about this are underestimating Cheesecake Factory patrons. Cheesecake Factory patrons LOVE a joke. We love jokes and enormous menus and that really good bread

Disrespectfully, @Google changing the Gmail app 9 days before election day feels like a hate crime.

With all respect to Governor Moore, these states are in play because of early investment by @TheDemocrats under @kenmartin73’s leadership. $25k a month to every red state, allowing them to build long term infrastructure. mycentraloregon.com/2026/10/…

@JayInslee and I agree: Oregon has led the nation in using vote-by-mail. Donald Trump wants to take us backward, but I’m not going to let him or anybody else take away our safe and secure system.

Let’s call this what it is: an official state party encouraging violence against their political opponents. This is a shameful statement from the Oregon GOP.

Before Trump was sworn in, I brought statewide and legislative leaders together to prepare for what was coming. I also required all state employees to train on our sanctuary law, so if a federal agent walks into a state office, they know their role. And in Oregon, ICE needs judicial warrants. Your governor should know that.

Congresswoman @RepBonamici knows how important it is that we defend Oregon's public schools. That's why she's urging Oregonians to re-elect Governor Tina Kotek!

NRSC takes on $20M in loans

The loans come as Republican Senate candidates have struggled to fundraise this cycle — and as the party has boasted about its large cash advantage.

Oregon is the first state to have every Democratic Member of Congress as a cosponsor of Medicare for All! This is a huge step forward towards making universal healthcare a reality in this country. Which state will be next?

A red silhouette of Oregon is featured with the message: "It's time for MEDICARE for ALL" in white and red. There is a logo of Rep. Jayapal's at the bottom.

Absolutely reprehensible, but unsurprising from the Republican party that is still covering for Epstein.

Acton releases a response from her brother, which makes me think this will become even more of a backfire. Vivek has simultaneously elevated the horrific story of her upbringing, framed her as someone who's overcome unthinkable horror, and painted himself as a sleeze
