Trump & Musk's DOGE henchmen have also accessed taxpayers’ private data, including their Social Security numbers, addresses, financial history, and much more. Furthermore, they intend to breach longstanding legal firewalls, sharing rather than protecting sensitive taxpayer data.
By cutting IRS funding and purging staff at the height of tax season, Trump, Musk, and Vought have deleted the people throughout our nation who provide customer service to taxpayers, hear tax disputes, crack down on tax fraud, and ensure Americans get their tax refunds on time.
This #TaxDay, let’s remember that the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have made it harder for working Americans to file their taxes and easier for the wealthiest tax cheats to get out of paying their fair share. THREAD:
The United States must continue providing aid to our allies in Ukraine to ensure its survival and deal Russia a definitive strategic defeat. Proud to work with @meeks.house.gov and my colleagues to introduce legislation that supports Ukraine in this battle for democracy.
Trump & Musk's actions at the US Treasury and attacks on the IRS undermine the success of Direct File & threatens our work to support taxpayers. Democrats will keep working to expand this vital program to continue lowering costs for hardworking Americans.
Today, Tax Day, is the last day to file tax returns & I am proud that thousands of Americans utilized IRS Direct File to file securely & for free this year. There is still time to join the 32 million taxpayers who have participated since 2024, & I encourage all in #MD05 to check their eligibility:
Elon Musk & the Trump Admin are slashing staff & causing chaos & long wait times at Social Security offices across the country. I visited the Social Security office in Greenbelt to hear from seniors about the importance of protecting this hard-earned benefit from Republican cuts.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @ivey.house.gov discusses how Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported by the Trump Administration, denied due process and sent to an infamous prison in El Salvador. The court has ordered him to be returned and this Administration must comply without delay.
I am glad to join @meeks.house.gov and my colleagues to introduce legislation to support our allies in Ukraine and aid their recovery with tougher sanctions & economic measures on Russia. We must remain steadfast in this battle to ensure a Ukrainian victory. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
Chag Pesach Sameach to all celebrating Passover in #MD05 & around the world. As Seders begin tonight at sunset, we think of the 59 hostages still held in Hamas captivity. Let us continue to be inspired by the hope and resilience of the Jewish people as we pray for and work toward freedom and peace.
NASA Goddard missions are critical to understanding the universe & our planet, developing innovative technology, & ensuring national security. I join members of the Maryland Delegation to fight against OMB's budget proposal for NASA, which threatens this vital work & the men & women who conduct it.
Thankfully, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump Administration must facilitate Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. Trump has the duty & power to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back to Maryland & must act swiftly to do so.

On today's Democratic Daily Download, former Marine @carbajal.house.gov discuses today’s hearing that exposed Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s devastating cuts to the VA and how they’re firing veterans in critical jobs across the government.
Republicans threw out the rulebook to force through a budget that would explode the national debt, slash Medicaid, & raise prices for working Americans to fund massive tax cuts for billionaires. The American people shouldn't have to bear additional costs to help the wealthy get even further ahead.
Glad to see Commissioner Samuels has challenged her unlawful dismissal from EEOC. I was proud to join 240 of my colleagues to demand her reinstatement, & we'll continue working together to hold the Trump Admin accountable for their attacks on workers & their rights. nadler.house.gov/uploadedfile...
We joined partners to file suit on behalf of Jocelyn Samuels, an Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner who was unlawfully removed from her position by Donald Trump. Her removal threatens the vital mission to protect Americans from workplace discrimination. Here's what you need to know ⬇️
