House Republicans want to cut Social Security's EARNED benefits and close offices across the country that serve seniors. House Democrats have a better idea: #ScrapTheCap so that millionaires and billionaires, like Elon Musk, pay their fair share all year long!

SNAP is essential for keeping food on the table for millions of Pennsylvanians and many more families throughout the country. Cuts to SNAP would do incredible damage to the households that rely on this program for access to food, as well as to local businesses where families shop. #SNAPMatters

The math simply doesn’t lie 👇🏾

Graphic. The GOP tax scam. Two bar graphs next to each other appearing to be the same height. One: tax cuts to the top 1%: $1.1 trillion. The other: cuts to SNAP: $230 billion, cuts to Medicaid: $880 billion. An equation is on the side of this bar chart. $880 billion cut to Medicaid + $230 billion cut to SNAP = $1.1 trillion for the top 1%. Data is based on analysis of Department of Treasury Office of Tax Analysis Data conducted by Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

I'm proud to be fighting alongside Rep. Larson and our House Democratic colleagues to stop the gutting of agencies like the Social Security Administration and the IRS that provide critical services to Philadelphians.

Larson Leads 152 House Democrats Urging the Trump Administration to Halt Plans to Gut Social Security

Washington, D.C. - Today, House Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (CT-01) led 152 House Democrats, including every Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, in ...

Today I met with members of the NTEU from #PA03 to discuss the impact of the Musk-Trump Administration’s actions on federal workers & services in Philly. Trump promised not to "touch" Social Security- but his actions speak louder than words and are harming hard-working Americans.

I think I know why a lot of Republicans didn’t applaud last night when Trump attacked the Chips & Science Act. AWKWARD A reminder: this NY GOP congressman lost by 8 points just days after the speaker said this in his district.

Hi everybody - you might remember me from when I asked Speaker Mike Johnson if he and Trump will repeal the CHIPS Act. (He said yes.) You can watch that again here: youtu.be/hzwQXL77VVA?...

For over a hundred years, presidents sent the State of the Union message as a document. They didn’t give a speech to Congress. Maybe it’s time to go back to that...

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 5(source)

Completely or largely missing from Trump's speech last night: • Details on lowering prices & costs for working-class Americans • Tackling the affordable housing crisis • Health care affordability & accessibility • Ending our nation’s gun-violence epidemic • Caring for our nation's veterans

Trump claims he wants to “protect America’s children.” Then why is he trying to cut off health care for the 38 million children on Medicaid?

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 5(source)

Tariffs are taxes. Period. Let's be clear: President Trump's proposed across-the-board tariffs will just be taxes on hard-working Americans’ costs, from food to clothing.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 5(source)

Most Americans did NOT vote for higher prices. Co-president Trump promised to lower prices on day 1. Today is day 44. While the White House and Congressional Republicans are focused on kissing up to their billionaire donor buddies it's hard-working Americans who continue to suffer.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 4(source)

I took some time today to speak with Kathy, a mom from Northwest Philadelphia whose daughter relies on Medicaid. She told me Republicans’ proposed cuts feel like "an unfathomably cruel abandonment." Listen to our conversation below.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 4(source)

If President Trump wants me to come to his speech to Congress NEXT year, I have some conditions for him 👇🏾

Graphic. Text: I'd be happy to go to President Trump's address to Congress next year. But I have some conditions for him:

Drop the cuts to health care and food assistance. Drop the tax cuts for the rich.

Reverse the mass federal firings, and fire Elon Musk & his “DOGE” team instead.

Actually reduce prices & costs for the American people- this includes reversing his blanket tariffs (aka taxes).

Commit in writing to spend all federal funding approved by law by Congress.

Stop the war on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and stop baseless discrimination.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 4(source)

As President Trump continues to act unlawfully and legally questionably, like his mass federal firings and refusing to deliver federal funding already appropriated by law, I feel he has not earned the honor of my presence to listen to his speech in person tonight.

KEILAR: Can you guarantee that veterans benefits and care will not be affected by these cuts? REP. GREG MURPHY: No, I can't guarantee anything

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialMar 3(source)

Having served as PA House Appropriations majority and minority chair for 20 years, if a governor of EITHER party refused to spend appropriated funding, I'd insist on guarantees in the funding we pass into law. Read my statement below on the current government funding negotiations:

Graphic.

Text: Rep. Evans’ statement on March 14th Funding Deadline.

It is outrageous that Republicans would walk away from bipartisan negotiations to fund the government, raising the risk of a wider shutdown than we’re already enduring. They currently control the White House, Senate and House of Representatives and have the duty to earn votes for any bill.

For my part, having served as Pennsylvania House Appropriations majority and minority chair for a total of 20 years, if a governor of either party had refused to spend funding required by law like President Trump is doing, I would insist on guarantees that the funding we pass into law will be spent on the services and benefits that our constituents count on! And Congressional Republicans would expect the same if a Democratic president tried what Trump’s doing.

I’m unmoved by Republican comments that we haven’t included these types of safeguards in spending bills before – we haven’t had to before! New circumstances often require new actions.

This is about the impact on the people we represent, who are already suffering from shutdowns happening right now across their government!
