Donald Trump doesn't care about our workers. He wants to keep working people down, wages stagnant, and power and wealth concentrated at the very top.   As a proud dues-paying member of Workers United, I know firsthand that unions lead to better wages and benefits.   This is union busting, period.
Trump moves to strip unionization rights from most federal workers.
Trump, Musk, and Kennedy would rather enrich their billionaire friends than prioritize the health of America's seniors and disabled individuals. This is not business as usual, and we cannot treat it as such.
Let me be clear, dismantling the federal department responsible for the health and well-being of our nation and firing thousands of federal employees who work there is far from efficient. It's irresponsible and deadly.
RFK Jr.'s remaking of HHS entered a new phase today when officials announced 10,000 more layoffs and the dismantling of the Administration for Community Living, which oversees vital programs for disabled and aging people.
🚨Medicare Advantage isn't Medicare, it's private insurance. These private insurers sacrifice patient outcomes for corporate profit. Along with @jayapal.house.gov, @delauro.house.gov, & @doggett.house.gov, I’m leading 74 members in calling on the administration to reform Medicare DisAdvantage.
We are the richest country in the world, yet women still haven't achieved full political and economic equality. Every day, millions of women face inequities and discrimination in the workplace. Let's raise the wage, implement paid leave, and fully ratify the ERA. #EqualPayDay
This is why I continue my fight for a comprehensive privacy bill for all Americans. Thankfully, Illinois residents concerned with the privacy of their genetic data can demand 23andMe delete any saved genetic data under state law!
23andMe’s bankruptcy filing means information is set to be sold, causing massive worry among privacy experts and advocates.
We must expand Social Security benefits, not cut them, and I have a bill to do just that. The Social Security Expansion Act will protect the national treasure that is Social Security by extending the trust fund’s solvency for 75 years and expanding benefits by $2,400 a year.
Each and every paycheck you earn, you're paying into Social Security. You make this payment with the promise that when you retire, you'll have income to rely on. The GOP, led by Trump and Musk, have decided that you no longer have the right to your money. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I served on the Intelligence Committee for eight years. This level of stupidity and incompetence gets our troops and allies killed.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
Trump and his billionaire cronies do NOT have the power to abolish the Department of Education. They want to harm our students, take jobs away from teachers, all to profit off of private education. Justice will prevail.
For Trump and Musk, billionaire tax breaks are more urgent than teaching kids to read or count. They put profits first and your children last.    I’m a former elementary school teacher, I won’t stand by as they try to dismantle the Department of Education.
These illegal firings risk the FTC’s ability to stand up to corporate abuses and protect consumers. President Trump is making yet another agency into a political tool for his billionaire buddies. It leaves Americans defenseless against skyrocketing prices and unchecked monopolies.
New just now: President Trump has fired the two Democratic commissioners at the FTC, per sources - confirming Reuters report earlier this hour. This leaves just two Republican commissioners currently seated on the 5-member commission.
I relied on her steady leadership and advice for so many years and marveled as she has navigated one of the most important positions in the entire Congress, Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee. Nita will surely be missed, but she leaves a legacy behind that is second to none.
I’m truly heartbroken to hear about the passing of my dear friend and mentor, former Congresswoman Nita Lowey. Nita was the foremost champion of human rights and enhanced the role of women in development.
