Trump, Vought, and Musk have labeled federal employees as "villains," including those at HHS who work every day to ensure the health and safety of our nation. America knows that the real villains are not those who serve others but rather those who serve only themselves.

American families deserve leaders who understand the struggles parents face.   That’s why @pettersen.house.gov is fighting to make Congress more accessible to parents and families through her bipartisan resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely after their child is born.

I commend @booker.senate.gov for, as my brother John Lewis always encouraged, getting into 'good trouble' as he continues to speak on the Senate Floor against the Trump Administration's unlawful policies and attacks on the American people. Democrats are standing with you, Cory.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

In today's Democratic Daily Download, Rep John Larson calls out Trump-Musk's attacks on Social Security. They're coming after your earned benefits. Today, we'll hear directly from Americans who are impacted by these cuts. We're fighting for families and seniors, not billionaires!

Our students deserve to attend class without fear of discrimination. I joined @raskin.house.gov in writing to Secretary McMahon to demand answers on the Trump Administration's decision to illegally close 7 of the Dept. of Education's Civil Rights regional offices. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @meeks.house.gov explains why the Signal chat was a threat to our national security, why Hegseth must resign and how Dems are forcing a vote to compel the Trump Administration into releasing all details surrounding the disclosure of classified info.
