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.

BREAKING: the U.S. District Court in D.C. has found that Trump’s firing of former NLRB Chair Gwynne A. Wilcox’s firing was unlawful, and ruled that she must be immediately reinstated to serve out the rest of her term as a board member. She was appointed and confirmed to a 5-year term in 2023.

DECLARED that plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox remains a member of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), having been appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to a five-year term on September 6, 2023, and she may be removed by the President prior to expiration of her term only “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause,” pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a); it is further ORDERED that plaintiff shall continue to serve as a member of the NLRB until her term expires pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), unless she is earlier removed “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, ” id.; it is further ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan, as well as his subordinates, agents, and employees, are ENJOINED, during plaintiff’s term as a member of the NLRB, from removing plaintiff from her office without cause or in any way treating plaintiff as having been removed from office, from impeding in any way her ability to fulfill her duties as a member of the NLRB, and from denying or obstructing her authority or access to any benefits or resources of her office; it is further ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan and his subordinates, agents, and employees provide plaintiff with access to the necessary government facilities and equipment so that she may carry out her duties during her term as a member of the NLRB; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. Date: March 6, 2025 This is a final and appealable order.

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.

His unapologetic attacks on civil rights included not only eliminating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, but a withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council and an endorsement of the Eisenhower immigration initiative, which was called “Operation Wetback.”

I invited retired Army Staff Sergeant Alexzandria Hunt to be my guest to President Trump’s address tonight. She was a supply technician at the Hampton V.A. Medical Center, working hard to ensure other veterans in Hampton Roads received the care they earned.

The Trump Administration's unjust firing of thousands of civil servants lays the groundwork for workplace discrimination with little to no recourse. It also exposes workers to exploitation, injury, & potentially death on the job. @bobbyscott.house.gov & @repilhan.bsky.social are demanding answers.
