“I'm so tired of these billionaire boys and their grubby little hands grabbing at everything,” @pressley.house.gov told protestors outside Treasury last night. “Hands off our data. Hands off our tax refunds. Hands off our SS checks. Hands off our Constitution. Hands off our democracy. HANDS. OFF!”

📢If you're a federal employee who received Trump's "Fork in the Road" memo, proceed with caution. This is not a man who keeps his word to workers on anything. Talk to your union reps. Know your rights. CivilServiceStrong.org

Suggesting the ethnic cleaning & permanent displacement of Palestinians from Gaza is disgusting & unacceptable, Trump. This is a genocide & we should be focused on rebuilding and restoring peace. NOT contributing to the trauma, death, and destruction of the Palestinian people.

“The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” As we celebrate Rosa Parks’ 112th birthday, I'm grateful #TransitEquityDay was established to honor her birthday and her role in transit justice & policy. That means investing in sustainable, accessible transit systems as the public good they are.

I'm glad a judge has blocked Trump's harmful and unlawful freeze on federal spending. And when Republicans try again to rip away essential resources, we'll fight back once again. We'll meet them in the courts, in Congress, and right in our communities. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...
Judge Further Blocks White House Spending Freeze
The restraining order, along with a similar directive by another judge from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.

This is not normal. No one elected Musk—but Trump is letting him raid classified material and people's private financial information. A billionaire with his own motives and foreign entanglements. This is a dangerous, unprecedented power grab. apnews.com/article/doge...
USAID security leaders on leave after trying to keep Musk's DOGE from classified info, officials say

Trump tried to rip away funding for Head Start, fuel assistance & other vital resources—plunging families into fear & chaos. But we fought back & forced him to back down. Proud to join @whipkclark.bsky.social & @repmcgovern.bsky.social to make plain that when we fight, we can win.

Trump fired 18 independent watchdogs from across the federal government. This is an illegal attack on government accountability. If Republicans really wanted to rid our government of fraud, waste and abuse, they'd demand Trump reverse course. www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...
Trump Accused Of ‘Dismantling Checks On His Power’ After Firing Inspectors General—Here’s What To Know
It’s not immediately clear whether the firings are legal, as the Trump administration is required to give a 30-day notice.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and Republicans want to censor our history and ignore the systemic oppression of Black folks. But Black history is American history, and no amount of white-washing or erasure will change that.

We should NOT be going back to Betsy DeVos-era education policy. This is a dangerous step backward that will put students at risk and exacerbate the trauma of survivors. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Project 2025 told us Trump would try to gut the federal workforce & we'd lose the dedicated civil servants who keep our govt running. That's exactly what we're seeing now. If he gets his way, millions will experience delays in services like tax refunds, passport renewals, FAFSA processing & more.
