According to the US District Court, Member Wilcox's firing was "blatantly illegal." Member Wilcox is a dedicated public servant, who has spent her entire career defending workers’ rights to form a union. President Trump must reinstate Member Wilcox immediately.

Religious freedom should never be used as an excuse to discriminate. That's why @booker.senate.gov, @raskin.house.gov, @scanlon.house.gov, @repcohen.bsky.social and I reintroduced the Do No Harm Act to ensure religious exercise doesn’t come at the expense of civil rights.

The Republican-led House voted 224 to 198 on Thursday to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for disrupting President Donald Trump’s remarks during Tuesday’s address to Congress. The resolution accuses Green of “a breach of proper conduct.”

President Trump got a standing ovation for declaring support for a balanced budget. Just days ago, he endorsed the House Republican budget scheme which showers tax cuts on the top 1% and corporations while cutting Medicaid, education and nutrition programs. All while increasing the deficit.
