The Republican budget kicks millions of Americans off their health care just to hand trillions in giveaways to Trump's billionaire donors. While Republicans betray the middle class, Democrats are fighting for American families. @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's Democratic Daily Download:

Trump & Musk want to isolate federal employees and agencies to make it more difficult to serve the American people. Their actions are perverse & contrary to the interests of our nation. We must continue to hold the administration accountable & work against their unlawful agenda.

Choosing to ban @apnews.com shows this White House’s disdain for a free press and violates the First Amendment. I am glad to see a Trump-appointed judge restore the Associated Press’ full access to presidential events.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @democrats-cha.house.gov Ranking Member Rep. Joe Morelle breaks down how House Republicans' so-called “SAVE” Act is a voter suppression bill that disenfranchises married women, undermines our elections, and weakens our democracy.

I remain deeply concerned by the economic consequences of Trump's tariffs. I joined @repkweisimfume.bsky.social & the MD Congressional Delegation to demand answers on how these tariffs would impact the @portofbalt.bsky.social as well as major ports, industries, & workforces throughout the country.

Trump promised lower costs and a booming economy on day one. Instead, our economy is actively tanking and the cost of goods are about to get even more expensive. Working families can't afford to pay the price of these Trump Tariffs. More from @frost.house.gov on the Democratic Daily Download.

As Co-Chair of Congressional Fire Services Caucus, I was honored to join the National Fallen Firefighters Flag Ceremony to remember our fallen heroes.

Libraries, museums, and historic sites are hubs for civic activity, digital inclusion, workforce development, childcare and community connection, and much more. Trump and DOGE’s attacks on @nehgov.bsky.social & IMLS are direct attacks on our communities and democracy itself.

General Timothy Haugh has served our country with honor & distinction for decades. Trump fired NSA Director General Hough to demonstrate his belief that the safety of Americans should belong in the hands of those who are loyal to him and him alone.

Across the country today, Americans are grappling with the reality of higher costs, financial insecurity, and job uncertainty as a direct result of President Trump’s tax increase.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 3(source)
Faced with financial market panic, his administration is fanning out to describe the impact of his tariffs as ‘short term pain,’ as if that pain were not both serious & literal for everyday Americans.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 3(source)
What he did was stand in the Rose Garden and proudly announce the largest tax increase on middle-class Americans in our nation’s history – one that will cost the average American family thousands of dollars each year.
Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 3(source)
For years we’ve been told to take Donald Trump seriously, but not literally. We were told his incoherent economic philosophy & outrageous rhetoric were merely negotiating tactics for a master in the art of the deal. What he did yesterday ought to throw any such nuanced interpretation aside.

I have long advocated for the important role that early childhood education plays in our children’s futures. Trump, Musk, and RFK threaten our collective future by dismantling Head Start regional offices. We must keep working to protect these services for American families from these attacks.
