These and thousands more conscientious civil servants who have been fired are being punished simply for doing their jobs and serving the country. This is illegal, and makes the government less responsive to the American people. All of this is stupid, destructive, and corrupt. 4/4

Musk and Trump are gutting the IRS in the middle of tax filing season. As Musk unleashes his unvetted cronies on Americans’ private personal information and meddles with IT systems he doesn’t understand, he risks plunging our tax system into chaos. 3/ bsky.app/profile/lily...

The IRS IT system is also extremely antiquated, portions of it relying on coding language from the 70s. While work to modernize this technology is essential and ongoing, it has to be done very carefully by people with deep knowledge of the systems and coding languages. 4/5

Weakening enforcement on the rich will let tax cheats avoid paying their fair share and add billions to our deficits. Musk and Trump don't care about reform or saving money, they just want to break the government so they can gain more wealth and power. 2/ bsky.app/profile/bbko...

Depending on who exactly this hits, this would likely lose the government around $7 billion on net due to more people cheating on their taxes - and around $70 billion assuming IRS doesn’t rehire to fill their positions. Could be even higher if these terminations come more from enforcement.

Illegally purging thousands of IRS workers in the middle of tax filing season is another act of plain corruption designed to benefit Musk, Trump, and their wealthy friends. 1/

IRS funding ensures the rich pay their fair share in taxes. Trump’s attack on the IRS isn’t aimed at protecting ordinary Americans — it’s protecting rich Americans.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021, ProPublica found in a first-of-its-kind data analysis. The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

Days after "accidentally" firing nuclear safety workers, Trump and Musk have "accidentally" fired the people racing to protect the American public from bird flu. This is stupid beyond belief. A better president would intentionally fire DOGE and everyone involved with it.

Musk and Trump got rid of one fifth of workers at the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides care to 9/11 first responders and survivors. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro... Those fired include people like Anthony Gardner, pictured below, whose brother was killed on 9/11. Disgusting beyond belief.

Anthony Gardner's (L) brother Harvey (R) was killed in the North Tower on 9/11. Recently, Anthony has worked for the World Trade Center Health Program. On Saturday, he got a termination notice, part of what 9/11 community advocates say is an "inhumane" 20% staffing reduction.

As the Trump Administration’s draconian and cruel immigration plans instill fear in our communities, I met with local immigration leaders to discuss strategies and opportunities to ensure the rights of our immigrant communities are protected.

Mass firings of FAA workers - at a time when they already have serious staffing problems - would be dangerous at any time. Musk and Trump doing this weeks after the deadliest crash in years is stupid beyond belief. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Just now: during my questions in @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social oversight hearing on the IRS, a tax law expert testified that unauthorized access or sharing of taxpayers' personal data would be a crime, punishable by fine or up to five years in prison. youtu.be/ADND7uq54yA?...

I’ve put together a page on my website for federal employees impacted by Trump's mass purges of our federal workforce. It’s my hope that these resources will address questions and concerns, and provide you with as much information as possible: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Hagan Scotten’s resignation letter says it all. Dropping the charges against Eric Adams to turn the Mayor of New York into a lackey of the President is a staggeringly corrupt perversion of justice and democracy.

Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

We're getting more calls now than at any time since I've been in Congress. I'm helping out on the phones, talking to constituents about what I'm doing to stand up for the country and federal workers under attack by Trump and Elon Musk. I welcome your calls, I am listening, and your voice matters.

DOGE access to the DOE information technology system is unacceptable. We must keep Elon Musk and his minions away from our most sensitive nuclear weapons information. I am demanding answers from Secretary Wright. www.reuters.com/world/us/dem...

Democratic US lawmakers ask Energy Department about any DOGE access to nuclear data

Two U.S. Democratic lawmakers pressed the secretary of energy on Wednesday whether members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have access to classified information on nuclear weapons, saying nuclear secrets need to be tightly safeguarded.

We demand action to improve aviation safety after last month's air collision. Trump must lift hiring freezes, restore frozen funding, hire more air traffic controllers, and reinstate the DOT Inspector General and safety personnel. The status quo is unacceptable. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...
