Project 2025’s plans for Social Security

Bonamici For Congress     Since 1935, Social Security has been a lifeline for seniors, Americans with disabilities, and survivors of deceased parents or spouses. Elon Musk and DOGE are now a serious threat to its existence. For decades, workers have paid into the Social Securi…

What the Dept. of Education cuts mean for you:

Bonamici For Congress     The Trump administration and Elon Musk are continuing their assault on public education. They are firing thousands of workers and slashing budgets to effectively stop the Department of Education from functioning. We knew this was coming – I wrote to y…

Thank you for staying strong

Bonamici For Congress     It's been another challenging week of chaos, cruelty, and illegal actions by the federal government. Donald Trump is declaring himself a "king," insulting and betraying our international allies, and Elon Musk is continuing to dismantle federal offices a…

I voted no

Bonamici For Congress     A budget is a statement of values, and the budget the Republicans passed is cruel, unnecessary, and extreme. It requires $800+ billion in cuts that will come from important programs like Medicaid. This is a direct threat to health care for more than a …

“How can I help?”

Bonamici For Congress     During the last few weeks, Trump's strategy has been chaos and corruption. He's allowed the unelected billionaire Elon Musk and a group of unaccountable DOGE cronies to access our personal data (including Social Security numbers) through the U.S. Treas…

Right out of the Project 2025 playbook

Bonamici For Congress     Our country is in crisis. An unelected billionaire is taking control of federal agencies, there was an illegal and unconstitutional freeze of federal funds appropriated by Congress, and Donald Trump is starting trade wars and saying he will "take over G…

Over the next two years

Bonamici For Congress     The next Congress hasn't even started, and we're already dealing with chaos from Trump and the Republican party. We had a bipartisan, bicameral agreement to keep the government open, but Republicans killed it when Elon Musk decided he doesn't like it. …

Instead of feeling hopeless

Changing our strategy, but not our mission

Bonamici For Congress     I'm incredibly disappointed by the election results, and I know many of you are too. Donald Trump and the Republicans will hold the White House for four years. They'll have the majority in the Senate, and a slim majority in the House of Representatives…

We all do better when we all do better

Bonamici For Congress     Too many people in our country are struggling to make ends meet, and it's clear the economy is not working for everyone. Voters are rightly looking to their leaders, especially the presidential candidates, to create more economic opportunity and lower …

This climate crisis is here

Bonamici For Congress     Donald Trump and JD Vance pretend that the climate crisis is a hoax, but it's already here. This summer brought wildfires, smoke, and drought, and now, the fall brings destructive hurricanes and torrential flooding, even in areas hundreds of miles from…

JD Vance refused

The people deserve functional government

Bonamici For Congress     You've read the headlines: Republicans block IVF protections, Trump and Vance spread vicious rumors about immigrant communities, and Mike Johnson threatened to shut down the government. MAGA Republicans in Congress haven't done anything to raise wages …

If they can’t win, they’ll take it to the courts

Bonamici For Congress     Despite the momentum behind the Harris/Walz campaign, Trump and his MAGA friends aren't giving up. And if they can't win voters with substance, policy, or style, they will try to win through the courts. One of the most important issues we will face if …

Same old tired playbook

Bonamici For Congress     The difference could not be more clear. Kamala Harris laid out her vision for a better future – while skillfully calling Trump out for his lies, extremism, and pettiness. I know our country can't afford another Trump presidency, so that's why I'm doing …

Republicans are desperate to hold on to power

Bonamici For Congress     We're about 65 days from the election – and we're anticipating razor-thin results. November 5th could mean the difference between reproductive freedom and a national abortion ban, taxes on the wealthy or on the working class, and expanded voting rights…

Why 14 states refused money to feed hungry kids:

This is the ticket of two self-serving individuals

Trump’s Project 2025 is a dangerous takeover of power, rights, and freedom

The Supreme Court decision puts democracy at risk
