Shutting down the @usedgov.bsky.social would have dire consequences that will impact our most underserved for generations. Trump cannot abolish the Department of Education without an act of Congress. I will fight to protect our children and grandchildren from being deprived of their future.

The National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders is the only federally-funded entity focused on research, education, and resources for the millions of Americans with eating disorders. That’s why I led a letter urging Secretary Kennedy to continue funding The Center.

President Trump’s latest illegal power grab is an attack on the FTC's ability to protect American consumers from fraud and harmful business practices. Congress created the FTC as an independent agency to look out for everyday Americans, not as a lapdog for an Administration bent on breaking the law.

Exclusive: President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic commissioners at the US Federal Trade Commission, two sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies reut.rs/43T1UKg

Millions of Medicaid patients have received quality care at Planned Parenthood, and the law protects their right to do so. I’m proud to join my colleagues in calling on #SCOTUS to uphold the law and protect your free choice of health care providers.
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 13(source)
As @houseseec.bsky.social Co-Chair, I condemn Adm. Zeldin's egregious roll back of critical air & water pollution regulations. This flagrant attack on Americans’ right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, & lead healthy lives is a blatant giveaway for Trump's Big Oil & polluting megadonors.

Administrator Zeldin's announcement represents a wholesale attack on the American right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, & lead healthy lives. This is a blatant giveaway for Donald Trump's polluting megadonors who want to remove any & all protections for American families.

At the INCOMPAS Policy Summit, I talked about the importance of the BEAD program in bringing tens of millions of Americans online with affordable high-speed Internet. Yet Commerce Secretary Lutnick announced he's pausing BEAD. Congress must ensure that any rule changes are in the public interest.

📣 CONSTITUENT SERVICES HOURS: Thursday, March 13 📣 Tomorrow, my staff will be holding office hours to help you navigate federal agencies. From 9am-12pm, stop by the West Sacramento Community Center to learn about the resources and support you have during these uncertain times.

House Republicans’ partisan funding bill gives a blank check to President Trump and further allows Elon Musk to continue his slash and burn tactics across our government.   That’s why I voted NO.
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 11(source)
It was an honor to receive the Champions of Progress Award from the Barth Syndrome Foundation. I’ll continue to be a champion to patients with rare & ultra-rare diseases & their families, especially at a time when their health care coverage & research into future therapeutics is under threat.
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 10(source)
It’s critical to ensure scientists’ voices are being heard at the agencies which make health care decisions. My Scientific EXPERT Act will bring rare disease experts and FDA reviewers to have productive conversations about how to move rare disease therapies forward. matsui.house.gov/media/press-...

Thousands of Afghans sacrificed a great deal to support our service members during the NATO mission in Afghanistan. But Trump’s Executive Orders have stranded tens of thousands of these allies under Taliban oppression. I led a letter with @mcclellan.house.gov urging Trump to rescind his EOs.

Trump’s halt of refugee processing and admissions for our Afghan allies is a cruel betrayal of our values. It reneges on America’s promise to protect those who assisted our troops — and real lives now hang in the balance. I led 47 House Democrats with @dorismatsui.bsky.social in demanding action.

On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the progress women have fought for across the world. Yet the Trump Administration is trying to roll back that progress. We can’t go back. Women must fight even harder against threats to our repro freedom, our economic independence, & our children’s futures.
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 8(source)
Ukraine is holding the line for democracy. While Trump’s plan to revoke humanitarian parole status for Ukrainian refugees betrays America’s promise to be a safe harbor for those fleeing war & tyranny. Standing with our allies is a core American value—& I'll always stand with our Ukrainian neighbors.
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 7(source)
Trump tried to ban #WomensHistoryMonth because he’s scared of its legacy. Since this country’s foundation, women have fought and won against bullies like Trump and we won’t stop now. As a member of the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I honor this history by continuing to fight for women today.
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 6(source)
Federal broadband programs like BEAD bring high-speed internet to those who still lack access. But Trump is actively sabotaging these programs. Freezing broadband funding ignores the law and harms the tens of millions of Americans who count on these programs to be connected. youtu.be/3c7H0Li-qFA
Rep. Doris Matsui@dorismatsui.bsky.socialMar 6(source)
The weaponization of the FCC to launch baseless attacks on @npr.org & @pbs.org show the bullying tactics Donald Trump will use to censor dissent. That’s why @lujan.senate.gov & I are introducing this bill that will ensure our media is protected from government attacks no matter their point of view.

As the impacts of the climate crisis worsen, it is more important than ever for congressional leaders to defend our environment, democracy, and communities. Members of the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, @capac.house.gov, and CBC are leading many of these efforts to protect our planet 🧵👇
