Inflation is soaring. The GOP plans to raise the debt ceiling by $4 TRILLION. The stock market is tanking. And Republicans are planning to give billionaires PERMANENT tax breaks. What exactly is going on? Mr. Musk, you are duly invited to the Oversight Committee to explain what is going on.
Welcome to the DOGE billionaire gravy train. But, really why *are* Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley buddies targeting Treasury payment systems? We don’t know…because there is ZERO GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT on DOGE. House Republicans are still shielding Musk from accountability. We are fighting back!
Americans are scared about what’s happening right now—because This. Is. Not. Normal. But where are my Republican colleagues? In closed-door meetings dismantling vital programs? We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!
Today is Women and Girls in Science Day, and as a woman in STEM myself, I know how important it is to have women in this field! To all the other STEM girls out there: keep breaking those glass ceilings and making all the noise! We create our futures, and your futures look bright!
Last week, I introduced the STOPP Fentanyl Act, which would help disrupt criminal networks and traffickers bringing illicit drugs into this country. In New Mexico, we know all too well the consequences of addiction for our families and communities. I won't stop until we end this crisis.
ICYMI: I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act last Friday. This bill would ensure that Elon Musk and DOGE Special Employees will be held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions. The American people should not be left to foot the bill.
Can someone remind me who elected Elon Musk to office? Oh, that’s right. NOBODY DID.   That’s why @raskin.house.gov and I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act, which would ensure that Elon and DOGE Special Employees are held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions.
Americans are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table, but Trump is placing tariffs on Canadian goods and oil. Remind me how this is supposed to help lower costs? That's why I signed a letter with my colleagues urging him to rescind these ridiculous tariffs.
Today we were denied entry to the EPA as hundreds have been threatened and put on leave. And as Elon Musk & DOGE have hacked their systems. I have spent my life fighting for our land and water and will not stop. We will take this fight to the courts, to Congress and the streets!
Fentanyl is ravaging our communities. While my colleagues across the aisle are giving Elon Musk unfettered access to fire Federal law-enforcement, ransack agencies, and shut down funding critical to combatting the fentanyl crisis – we’re fighting to stop them and save lives across our communities.
Why is the GOP shielding Elon Musk from Oversight!?  Maybe…because while we’re sitting here he’s dismantling agencies, threatening national security, stealing our data, and breaking the law.  Dems are not clutching our pearls.  Dems are fighting back.  And we won't stop!
From funding our public schools to ensuring kids have access to the support they need—the U.S. Dept of Education is essential to the well-being of kids across America and the future of this nation. We will fight back with every tool we have!
