The saddest part of Julie's story is that it is not unique. Thankfully, the courts are holding Trump and Musk accountable for illegally firing thousands of probationary employees. We'll keep working against their efforts to villainize federal employees and the Americans they serve.

Our federal employees work diligently every day to serve Americans while Trump, Musk, and Vought only seek to serve themselves. I'm proud to support the bipartisan Protect Our Probationary Employees Act and will continue standing up for federal workers every chance I get.

Republicans' funding bill would give Trump more unrestricted power to continue his illegal attacks on the American people. House Democrats are standing together against this bill and working to end the crisis and chaos the Trump Administration has caused over the last 45 days.

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.

The spirit of my brother John Lewis was with us as we marched and will always be with us as we continue working to ensure equality and justice for all.

Our hardworking federal employees serve the American people every day – not an unelected billionaire. I will continue to stand alongside the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) as our civil servants make their voices heard against Trump and Musk's illegal firings.
