“The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. " ‘If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?’ "” bit.ly/4ibMQvH
Deeply concerned by DHS's decision to end the collective bargaining agreement for thousands of TSA employees. These workers keep us safe every day – they deserve a voice on the job, not union-busting tactics. I stand in solidarity with TSA workers and their right to fair representation.
BREAKING: Homeland Security is ending a collective bargaining agreement with tens of thousands of TSA employees, marking a major attack on worker rights.
Proud to join Rep. Mike Lawler, Senators @coons.senate.gov, & Kevin Cramer to introduce the Choice in Affordable Housing act. This bipartisan bill expands access to rental assistance & helps more families find safe, stable, affordable housing.
Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds. He’s now planning to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Putin’s war—just days after his embarrassing Oval Office meeting where he refused to commit to helping Ukraine. Turning our backs on our allies and refugees is disgraceful.
(Reuters) - Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation. reuters.com/world/us/trump…
Generations of Americans marched, fought, & even died for the right to vote. We can’t allow extremists to threaten their legacy & undermine our democracy. I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social to introduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & protect the right to vote for ALL Americans!
Trump, Co-President Musk, & MAGA extremists are gutting the Social Security Admin., & even its own acting head is raising the alarm. Outsiders with no expertise are making devastating cuts that will lead to mistakes—hurting seniors, people with disabilities, and families who rely on SSA every day.
NEW: The Social Security Administration acting head said in a private meeting that DOGE is driving massive cuts to the agency and will make mistakes. Called DOGE "outsiders who are unfamiliar with nuances of SSA programs...I am receiving decisions that are made without my input"
With tax season in full swing, the IRS should be focused on helping Americans—not firing dedicated workers.    Proud to join @doggett.house.gov , @ross.house.gov, and 130+ of my colleagues in condemning these harmful cuts and demanding transparency on how the agency plans to mitigate the fallout.
More than 130 Democrats are condemning the Trump administration’s firing of thousands of IRS employees during tax filing season, saying it may put a dent in compliance efforts and taxpayer service.
Federal layoffs are here- and they’re just the beginning. These cuts don’t make government more efficient; they hurt workers, weaken services Americans rely on, and undermine a healthy economy.
This action doesn’t save taxpayers a dime, it only helps Vladimir Putin further his goal of destroying a free and democratic Ukraine. Every day that the President does the bidding of a bloodthirsty dictator, he damages our reputation and relationships around the world.
The United States has paused major portions of its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, squeezing the flow of vital information that Kyiv has used to repel invading Russian forces and strike back at select targets inside of Russia.
Grateful to members of IAFF Local 42, 1055, and 3133 for stopping by my office in Washington to discuss how Congress can better support our local firefighters. I’ll keep fighting to ensure you get the federal funding you need to keep our communities and first responders safe!
I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Sylvester Turner. As a former Mayor of Houston and Representative of the 18th District of Texas, he leaves a legacy of public service and commitment to community. May he rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing.
BREAKING: Rep. Sylvester Turner has died at the age of 70 after suffering a medical emergency, according to two House Democratic lawmakers. Turner was just weeks into his first term in Congress.
Last night, I joined Maxine Waters and Financial Services Committee Democrats as we traveled to HUD to demand an end to the Trump Administration’s efforts to obliterate the agency and programs that support affordable housing for American families. #HandsOffHousing!
Another massive handout to a bloodthirsty dictator in Vladimir Putin, at the expense of Ukrainian warriors who are on the frontlines in the battle for freedom and democracy. Congress appropriated this funding to Ukraine, and we must ensure it is delivered as intended.
BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Trump orders pausing of US military aid for Ukraine after Oval Office blowup, pressuring Zelenskyy on Russia talks.
Rather than working with our longtime allies and trading partners to lower costs for hardworking families, President Trump has started a trade war that will ensure every American sees higher costs at the grocery store. An unnecessary setback to America’s economic recovery.
Tomatoes, T-shirts and cars are among the vast array of goods that could become pricier with new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
