But without adequate training, these reassignments will exacerbate wait times – and they do nothing to solve the agency's critical staffing shortages.

After cutting 74,000 employees at Social Security Assistance last year, the Trump Administration is now reassigning thousands of SSA employees away from their primary, essential duties.
As a member of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I’m committed to safeguarding access to this crucial form of care, so all our neighbors can continue having the freedom to make the best decision for their health and futures.
61 years ago today, with Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court expanded health care options and reproductive rights for millions. Birth control remains one of the most fundamental, safe, effective, and accessible forms of reproductive health care in our country.
It’s the sacrifice and heroism of those like Sergeant Polyniak that laid the foundation for the Allied victory in Europe. His story reminds us of the unwavering bravery of our servicemembers, the importance of learning from our past, & the undeniable strength of our global alliances, including NATO.
On the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, we honor the thousands of troops who fought to defend a world free of tyranny. One of those troops was Marylander Sergeant John Polyniak – who served in one of the first units to land on Omaha Beach.
If you’re a student in #MD03, be sure to apply by Wednesday, June 10th and make your voice heard!
There are only a few more days to submit a video to the #MD03 America 250 Contest 🇺🇲 Our Founders started this radical experiment of self-governance – and generations of Americans have not only lived up to that vision but expanded who can participate over time.
🧡 Today we are marking the start of #WearOrange Weekend, a time when communities across the country come together to remember those lost to senseless gun violence. Here in Congress, I’m committed to doing my part to pass commonsense gun safety legislation and end this epidemic once and for all.
See above for my full statement.
After a year-long tour of every Maryland military installation, countless meetings with servicemembers, local partners, military alliances, & Pentagon officials, & 14 hours of debate fighting to improve the bill, I voted against advancing the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act out of Committee.
As the daughter of two civil servants and the representative of over 45,000 federal employees, I will always stand up for the collective bargaining rights of civil servants. Good news: the amendment passed!
We’re in the 13th hour of debate on the NDAA, but I knew I had to speak in favor of @norcross.house.gov’s amendment to protect and restore the rights of the federal employees who protect our national security and serve the American people every day.
As the daughter of two civil servants and the representative of 45,000 federal workers, I will continue to fight the President’s attempts to politicize the civil service in Congress. We cannot go back.
Our nation did away with the spoils system in 1883 because our civil servants are meant to serve the American people – not the partisan wishes of a President. This Executive Order reclassifies nearly 8,000 senior policymakers and strips them of their civil service protections.
We will not stand by as this Administration attempts to interfere with the fundamental rights of our servicemembers and all our neighbors, which is why I spoke in support of @goodlander.house.gov’s amendment to protect the independence of our press.
🇺🇸Stars and Stripes has served as a trusted, nonpartisan source of news for servicemembers and military families for over 165 years. Yet, Secretary Hegseth wants the Department of Defense to take more editorial control over the paper – putting partisan politics over a free press.
It’s why I spoke out and voted no on this harmful amendment that would have let our distinguished service academies accept the untested Classic Learning Test scores.
Good news: We voted down Congresswoman Mace’s amendment to let fears of alleged “woke bias” undermine years of standardized, merit-based admissions. If we care about fairness & maintaining rigorous admissions standards, we should rely on assessments that are thoroughly validated and widely accepted.
We must continue to work across diplomatic channels to ensure the security of our U.S. embassies, support the people of Lebanon, and stand with the Lebanese Armed Forces in their efforts to defeat Hezbollah – an enemy of the United States and a violent terrorist organization.
