This Veterans Day I reflect on what I learned from my grandpa who fought in WWII and my husband who served in Kosovo & Iraq. They have taught me the power of service, responsibility to our democracy, and valor beyond measure. Our veterans deserve so much more from the VA and from our government.

Reposted by Melissa Bird for Congress
If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Hence why I am running for Congress!
I firmly believe the risk is running an establishment candidate that is not trying something new.

Sen Dems are about to cave to Repubs. They want to vote on a deal to reopen the government with a mere PROMISE to work on health care. A promise? REALLY? Ummm…I don’t think we should be trusting a PROMISE. This will erode all trust between House & Senate. www.axios.com/2025/11/09/s...

Oligarchy: a word I've been told not to use because it's too confusing.

I looked it up, and it's just a description of what the hell is going on.

Fun fact about me: I’m a writer and the first book I ever published is a children’s book called “Because we chose to love you”. It is a children’s book for all families. I wrote it when I was a child therapist teaching three and four year-olds who had experienced abuse.

It is time for a new generation of Dem Party folks to step up. To have courage to stand with people who are willing to speak truth to power. We can’t afford to take advice about electability from a party that has consistently failed to elect people who can make change. www.melissabirdforcongress.com

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. I went and saw the film Free Leonard Peltier. I just can’t stop thinking about my dad. Chief Seattle once said. “Our dead people are not completely helpless.” This government has consistently been separating us from our spirits. And they will not prevail.

Donald Trump and his cronies shut down the government because they’ve decided making people’s health care more expensive was more important than keeping the government running. This shut down is no surprise to folks who were around for the last government shutdown that was also Donald Trump’s fault.

I’m just sitting here with my campaign team doing a little social media research. Every single Congress person in this district has been from the city of Eugene since 1975. I am thinking perhaps we need some representation outside of Eugene. www.melissabirdforcongress.com

I noticed that my opponent did not say anything when the President said pregnant women are to blame for their children’s autism. She has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood & Reproductive Freedom for All. 🙄 I will always stand up against such atrocities. Learn more at www.melissabirdforcongress.com

Also, why does no one even care that the alligator prison is closing down??? Is it because a tribe was at the forefront? Or because it impacts brown people? Or both? nit.com.au/24-08-2025/1...

This is amazing! Yay for the USPS!
We must preserve the US Postal Service because UPS or FedEx would never do this.
