#BHM @ushousefsc.bsky.social Member highlight: @meeks.house.gov, a staunch advocate of equity, & inclusivity. He worked w/the FHLB of NY to accept an alternative credit scoring model creating more opportunities across the NY region & narrowing the racial homeownership gap. 📺: youtu.be/ddEYg-gJbS0

The Constitution is under attack by the Trump - Musk Administration. Americans must fight back against the blatant disregard of our democracy. Voters asked for lower grocery prices not a dictatorship! www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3Rk...

This is a threat to our health care in our country. Americans deserve an HHS Secretary who is led by science and evidence and is committed to public health. That is not Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Senate votes to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary

Kennedy managed to allay the concerns of several key GOP senators over his anti-vaccine activism. Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican to vote against him.

Before we created the CFPB, there was no one there to stand up for the average everyday American. Trump and Musk are interested in their own gain, not yours. Their illegal stop work order at the #CFPB is designed to make them and their friends richer at your expense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyCn...

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govFeb 11(source)

I was in Congress when we created the CFPB to finally have an agency that stood up for the consumer. We won’t let Musk and Trump destroy it for their own financial gain. #CFPB www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfcz...

Trump is failing on his promise to Americans. He has done NOTHING to bring down the cost of living for the American people! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW1v...

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govFeb 6(source)

What are they looking for and who are they?! An unelected oligarch with no security clearance should not be accessing Americans’ most confidential information. Musk must be stopped. Democrats introduced the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to do just that. youtu.be/hJF4aFM-MVk

This DEI watchlist website lists mostly Black employees who work at agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services. These scare tactics are deplorable and are solely to put a target on the backs of public servants. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Federal health workers terrified after 'DEI' website publishes list of 'targets'

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Elon Musk is not a government employee. He is a private citizen. So why is Trump granting Musk & friends access to Americans' most private information like Social Security numbers, and taxpayer data? This isn't efficiency, it's a dangerous government takeover. apnews.com/article/dona...

Elon Musk's DOGE commission gains access to sensitive Treasury payment systems: AP sources

The move by DOGE means it could have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things.

Rep. Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Black History Month

QUEENS, NY – Today, Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (NY-05) released the following statement on Black History Month:

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govJan 31(source)

Today marks 85 years since the first social security check was issued. The Social Security Act continues to provide an essential financial safety net for millions of people. It’s critical we continue to protect the earned benefits of Americans.

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govJan 21(source)

Birthright citizenship is enshrined in the Constitution by the 14th amendment. This Executive Order is unconstitutional and un-American!

DEI programs were implemented to give Americans of all backgrounds a fair opportunity to serve our nation. DEI programs have proven to improve innovation, changing our workforce for the better. Implementing an executive order to rescind these programs is un-American and shameful.

🚨FYI: President-elect Trump recently announced that Monday’s Inauguration Ceremony will be moved indoors due to the forecast of cold weather. All tickets for the ceremony have been deemed commemorative. Ticket holders can no longer attend the ceremony in person.

Today, President Biden took historic action, issuing clemency to nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses who were sentenced under outdated & harsh laws. This is the largest single-day clemency action in U.S. history to dismantle racial inequities in our justice system.

RM @meeks.house.gov: We called on the Biden Administration to extend DED protections for Hong Kongers facing persecution—yesterday, they delivered. This is a critical step in standing up for democracy and human rights in the face of Beijing’s repression.

RM @Meeks.house.gov: Grateful to Amb. Brigety for his public service, most recently as US Amb. to South Africa. Collaboration with South Africa remains crucial for AGOA renewal, strengthening diplomatic ties & robust partnership between our countries to drive economic growth.
