“What has happened just in the past few months with this administration and with tariffs has been chaotic,” Rep. Bonamici told the coffee industry leaders.
She said she hopes the U.S. Court of Appeals will side with the International Trade Court in ruling the tariffs illegal, saying that only Congress can enact such widespread import taxes. The Appeals court has not indicated when it may rule, but has asked each party to respond by June 9.
An array of Portland-area people who roast coffee or sell coffee met with U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Beaverton, on Thursday, May 29, to talk about the impact of President Donald Trump’s 10% tariff on coffee beans and coffee-related supplies.
U.S. Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Maxine Dexter joined Planned Parenthood leaders on Tuesday to decry the Republican majority’s budget reconciliation bill as a potentially devastating blow to the organization and to thousands of Oregon patients.“I’m disgusted by the bill that passed,” Bonamici, a Beaverton Democrat, said at a news conference at Planned Parenthood’s Northeast Portland Health Center.
The shock had worn off, perhaps, but the fury had not.
U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.) began her remarks sharply.“I’m here to say that Donald Trump and the unelected billionaire Elon Musk do not understand the value of arts and culture…and, in fact, are trying to censor opinions, and they do not understand the separation of powers our Founding Fathers embedded in the Constitution,” Bonamici said from the lectern. “We are here to say that we will not stand by as they attack Oregon’s arts community and culture community.”
“Donald Trump and the unelected billionaire Elon Musk do not understand the value of arts and culture, do not understand the importance of differing opinions and, in fact, are trying to censor opinions, and they do not understand the separation of powers our founding fathers embedded in our Constitution,” Bonamici, a Beaverton Democrat, said at a press conference, at All Classical Radio in downtown Portland. “We will not stand by as they attack Oregon’s arts and culture communities.”
Bonamici gathered with representatives from nearly two dozen of the impacted groups on Monday in the offices of All Classical Public Radio in Downtown Portland.
“Donald Trump and the unelected official Elon Musk do not understand the value of arts and culture,” Bonamici said. “We will not stand by as they attack Oregon’s arts community.”
“It's been tough because I've been hearing from people that they're still struggling — struggling to put food on the table. Now is the time to make it easier for people to access what they need to feed their families,” U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici said. “So to celebrate this today is really critical, and I will be fighting against the defunding of food banks and the SNAP cuts all for tax breaks for those who don't need them, people at the top. I subscribe to the theory that we all do better when we all do better, and everyone in this community deserves that.
“No one in our country should go hungry,” says Rep Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.). “Cuts to SNAP would be devastating here in Oregon. I met with the Oregon Food Bank and other advocates to say this is not the time to cut food assistance for needy families.”
