This is yet another hostile attack in the Trump Administration’s relentless war against our civil service.
They want to make it easier to fire qualified public servants so they can replace them with MAGA sycophants who serve Donald Trump above the law and the American people.

The Trump Administration’s reckless foreign aid cuts are already undoing decades of progress, leading to surges in HIV/AIDS, malaria and hunger across the developing world.
Studies project this massive aid loss could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030.

A thoughtful discussion with Alexandria House residents about pushing back on this administration’s excesses and finding solutions to the injustices we see daily.
“The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse… fewer Americans work in manufacturing than any point since the pandemic ended.”

Ending 287(g) restores public trust that our state and local law enforcement are focused on preventing crime, while remaining committed to assisting federal authorities when actions are grounded in law and there is a judicial warrant in hand.
Proud to see @abigailspanberger.com end 287(g) in Virginia.
Our law enforcement should be focused on their vital missions, not distracted by the Trump Administration's chaotic, violent, and indiscriminate immigration enforcement which only makes our communities less safe.
My heart goes out to those who are losing their jobs today, along with my thanks for helping keep my constituents informed about their community.
Your work has not been in vain.
Mr. Bezos has the wealth and resources to make the Post better. If he is unwilling to invest in his own newsroom or afraid of the perceived risk, I urge him to consider selling the Washington Post to someone who will be a better steward of this beloved and essential institution.
The Washington Post is deeply important to our region.
Instead of hiding in silence while he slowly kills one of the best newspapers in the country, Jeff Bezos should show the Post’s readers and employees basic respect by taking honest responsibility for his actions.
I suspect Bezos' decision to gut the Post’s staff rather than investing a tiny fraction of his vast wealth into growing it will only deepen its financial problems.
Readers who lose coverage of the issues they care about will likely respond by cancelling their subscriptions.
This pervasive cowardice hurts our country, and Jeff Bezos has been one of its chief practitioners.
I don’t know if investing in a puff piece on the First Lady is a savvy business move, but I know Bezos’ censorship of the Post cost it hundreds of thousands of subscriptions.
At the same time, media companies and other key American institutions responded to Trump’s bullying and intimidation with appeasement. Media outlets tried to protect business interests and wealth of their billionaire owners by weakening or censoring journalism critical of Trump.
Over the last year an authoritarian president and his administration unleashed a geyser of political news that also shaped coverage of the economy, global affairs, health, tech, environment, local news, and more. The Post's competitors have been successful in this environment.
I love the Washington Post. I've been a subscriber for many years.
The Post’s coverage has enriched my life and is indispensable to my work as a policymaker.
I think I speak for many when I say it is heartbreaking to watch Jeff Bezos run the Washington Post into the ground.
Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him.
Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.
This Black History Month, I’m thinking about leaders like Barbara Johns, who fought to make our country live up to its highest ideals. Her courage as a student in segregated Virginia helped spark the end of school segregation.
Her legacy deserves its place in the U.S. Capitol.
Congress must stop the lawlessness in Minnesota and across the country, with DHS breaking the law, ignoring the Constitution, committing violent acts and even murder.
No secret police. Transparency and accountability aren’t optional. Masks OFF, body cameras ON, ID on demand.
Speaker Johnson is lying.
He knows that counting mail votes is not “magic” or “fraudulent,” it is following the law.
Echoing these lies shows how beholden Johnson is to the Liar In Chief, but the Speaker of the House should be above such awful behavior.
This is disgraceful.
For decades, START has reduced the risk on nuclear conflict. We must extend this treaty and prioritize efforts to prevent the possibility of a nuclear showdown. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
