This is not even close to all of the ways in which Trump and his Administration have failed the American people, undoing decades of progress and throwing millions of people’s lives and livelihoods in danger.
Trump’s obsession with “cracking down” on illegal immigration has put our rights in jeopardy. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is just one example of how a government that disregards our right to due process is a threat to ALL of us. Now, they’re deporting citizens — and literal children — with no due process.
Virginia’s Fourth is home to 18,000 federal employees. The Commonwealth of Virginia houses over 300,000 federal employees, including those that commute to work in D.C. and nearby states. Virtually all of these people have felt the impacts of this Administration.
The Administration set out to traumatize our federal workforce. By putting Elon Musk at the helm of DOGE, an “agency” Trump created with no congressional authority, the Administration is giving an unelected and unvetted billionaire free reign to wreak havoc on our civil service.
The Administration stripped resources to address health disparities impacting minority groups and indigenous communities from HHS websites. Combined with federal cuts and mass layoffs, Trump’s vision for HHS weakens our ability to promote public health and lead in scientific innovation.
Trump seeks to erase history that makes him uncomfortable as part of his war on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The Administration has removed the histories of notable figures and places on their websites, including Richmond’s Leigh Street Armory and Fort Gregg-Adams in Prince George County.
Trump launched an assault on educators. He illegally attempted to dismantle the Department of Education, making it more difficult for the federal government to protect students’ civil rights. Virginia’s K-12 schools receive $2.5 billion in federal funding per year, which we would have to make up.
On his first day in office, Trump pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 to take by force what they could not win. They trashed public property, attacked Capitol Police, and threatened members of Congress and the Vice President — and Trump cheered them on.
First: the tariffs. Escalating a trade war and playing a “will-they-won’t-they” game with tariffs has caused massive uncertainty for families and businesses in our district, across the U.S., and beyond. Trump’s tariffs raise costs on everything. And it’s entirely avoidable.
The Trump Administration’s cap on NIH grants covering indirect costs has a direct impact on medical research. Yet Republicans rejected including an examination of these impacts in a bill mandating a review of the status of research related to underserved populations with lung cancer.
Underlying causes of maternal mortality are oftentimes preventable. Thanks to the CDC, we know that accidental overdose is a leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths, especially among white women in Virginia. I introduced an amendment to prevent mass layoffs at the CDC. Republicans opposed it.
House Republicans on the Energy & Commerce Committee unanimously opposed my amendment to prevent the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration from implementing further harmful and irresponsible mass layoffs. This hurts our ability to track and address drug use and mental health.
I introduced two amendments to prevent further mass firings at health agencies and protect our public health workforce from layoffs that threaten the safety of our communities. They were unanimously opposed by Republicans on the E&C Committee, who refuse to stand up for our civil servants.
Today, the Energy & Commerce Committee considers bills to address the opioid and substance abuse crisis in this nation. @energycommerce.bsky.social want to ensure that everyone gets the care they need. Meanwhile, Republicans take action to undermine the very work needed to address this issue.
