Families shouldn’t have to choose between their health or their house just because it’s close to a drilling site. I spoke in opposition to the Protecting American Energy Production Act because we can’t allow Big Oil to keep abusing loopholes that put profit over public health.
🚨 A federal judge just blocked Elon Musk and his cronies from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems and data. We won't let Elon run unimpeded through the federal government, and I won't stop calling out this administration's corruption.
BREAKING: Federal judge in D.C. blocks Musk from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems and records. More to come. Order: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...
With the consent ofthe parties, the Court DEFERS RULING on the Plaintiffs' [8] Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and ORDERS as follows:
•
records maintained by or within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, except that the Defendants may provide access to any of the following people:
o Mr. Tom Krause, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to payment records will be "read only";
o Mr. Marko Elez, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the Treasury, as needed for the performance ofhis duties, provided that such access to payment records will be "read only";
o Any person who is an employee (but not a Special Government Employee) of the Department of the Treasury and who has a need for the record or system of records in the performance of their duties;
During my first hearing as the top Dem on the Health Subcommittee, I shared how my constituents are rightfully worried about Elon Musk's direct access to the Medicare & Medicaid systems. This is massive overreach by an unelected billionaire. Where is the GOP’s outrage? Their silence is shameful.
I’m at the Department of Labor demanding accountability for shadow president Elon Musk. His interests don’t just conflict with hardworking Americans—they undermine it. His impunity has gone too far. It’s time to get this unelected, out-of-touch billionaire out of Washington.
🚨 Legal action has been filed against Trump’s Department of Justice. FBI agents are suing to block the DOJ from assembling lists of agents who worked on January 6 cases. We’re fighting back against the blatantly political actions of the Trump admin.
My Democratic colleagues just tried to subpoena unelected billionaire Elon Musk, but House Republicans blocked it. We must hold Elon Musk accountable, especially since my Republican colleagues are complicit in these assaults on our government.
NEW: I just moved to subpoena Elon Musk to appear before the Oversight Committee to answer for his unlawful takeover of agencies across the government. Republicans blocked my motion without allowing any debate. They will stop at nothing to cover up Elon Musk's lawlessness.
🚨 Trump's unconstitutional assault on birthright citizenship has been blocked nationwide by a federal judge. His disdain for the Constitution is being blocked, and we will keep fighting until he backs down.
BREAKING: Federal judge in Maryland grants nationwide preliminary injunction against Trump executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, says order is likely 'unconstitutional.' More to come....
On #WorldCancerDay, we reaffirm our commitment to ending cancer as we know it. As the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I’m committed to expanding funding for lifesaving research, improving access to early detection, and ensuring every patient receives the care they deserve.
Donald Trump promised to help grow our economy but instead, we're seeing tens of thousands of jobs slashed simply to make room for tax cuts for his billionaire friends. How does this do anything to make life more affordable when many Americans are struggling to make ends meet?
Another productive meeting with Denver City Council. ✅ I was glad to provide updates from Washington and discuss the issues that matter most to Denverites. Grateful for their partnership as we work to deliver for our city.
My constituents are terrified and feel that this is an immense breach of privacy. No one elected Elon Musk, but every day we are seeing how the Trump administration is truly a government for billionaires, by billionaires. Read my full statement below.
Republicans must uphold their duties under Article 1 of our Constitution and prevent the world's richest man, who couldn't pass a background check, from infringing on our government. It’s our responsibility to act as a check to the Musk-Trump Admin—and only the GOP-controlled Congress can do so.
With this Administration’s extreme actions, one question keeps coming up: “What are you going to do about it?” Fair question—especially with a President dodging accountability. Here’s my answer. 1/2
We cannot allow an unelected billionaire to access this sensitive information, and I will not stand idly by while Trump hands over our government to the wealthiest individuals in our country.
Donald Trump is making our world less safe by freezing foreign aid that supports vital health programs, including malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS treatment. He is setting back global health and abandoning American leadership on the world stage. Why? Because his billionaire pals want a tax cut.
