As President Trump continues to falsely claim his administration won’t touch Social Security, leaked documents reveal plans to further strain operations that could lead to longer call wait times and delayed processing of Social Security benefits.

Medicaid gives 80 million Americans the ability to access care they desperately need, like my constituents Mary Lee Ruby and Michael Thomas. Donald Trump and Republicans want to force people like Mary Lee and Michael off Medicaid to give billionaires tax cuts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=reoc...

“Without Medicaid, I could die.” Medicaid is a lifeline. It's not a shortcut for Republicans to give handouts to billionaires. whyy.org/articles/del...

Del. congressional delegation argues GOP plans deep cuts to Medicaid

The GOP budget plan, which received bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate, directs a House committee to find $880 million in spending cuts.

Medicaid is America's single largest health care provider. Republicans are plotting to steal care from 80 million Americans — all to enrich their billionaire donors. Today, Democrats are hosting a nationwide Day of Action to fight back.

I was at USIP tonight to conduct congressional oversight over DOGE’s break in. I spoke with Acting President & CEO Moose. USIP is an independent, non-profit entity and I will work to stop DOGE’s illegal power grab.

Arlington National Cemetery is a sacred place of honor and respect for those who have served our nation. This censorship from the Trump administration does not erase or diminish the service and sacrifices of Black, Hispanic, and women veterans who fought for our freedoms.

Waiting until after Democrats caved on the CR, Trump issues a late night order to eliminate 7 agencies “to the maximum extent” allowed by law, including the organization running the Voice of America, the agency that helps fund museums and libraries in all 50 states, and so on. Order in alt text:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. This order continues the reduction in the elements of the Federal bureaucracy that the President has determined are unnecessary.

Sec. 2. Reducing the Scope of the Federal Bureaucracy.
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, the non-statutory components and functions of the following governmental entities shall be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, and such entities shall reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law:
(i) the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service;
(ii) the United States Agency for Global Media;
(iii) the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in the Smithsonian Institution;
(iv) the Institute of Museum and Library Services;
(v) the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness;
(vi) the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund; and
(vii) the Minority Business Development Agency.
(b) Within 7 days of the date of this order, the head of each governmental entity listed in subsection (a) of this section shall submit a report to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget confirming full compliance with this order and explaining which components or functions of the governmental entity, if any, are statutorily required and to what extent.
(c) In reviewing budget requests submitted by the governmental entities listed in subsection (a) of this section, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget or the head of any executive department or agency charged with reviewing grant requests by such entities shall, to the extent consistent with applicable law and except insofar as necessary to effectuate an expected termination, reject funding requests for such governmental entities to the extent they are inconsistent with this order.

Trump and Musk are illegally shutting down federal agencies, mass firing federal workers, and freezing congressionally mandated funding. It's causing massive job losses and economic chaos for my constituents far worse any shutdown. The Republican CR would perpetuate this status quo. I will vote no.

Elon Musk rehired the person who said he was “racist before it was cool” and put him on the team responsible for SSA firings - an agency with one of highest proportions of Black workers. The GOP demean qualified hires if they are Black or women as “DEI hires” while empowering unqualified racists.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMar 14(source)

Trump is subverting background checks because he hired a like Elon Musk who wouldn't pass. @tedlieu.bsky.social and I introduced the Security Clearance Review Act to reform the vetting process for presidential appointees. We can stop this if more in Congress join us: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

FoxNews reports Trump and Vought are already planning to steal funding from the Republican (de)funding bill (aka "the CR") and it hasn't even passed! They're planning to violate a law they haven't even enacted yet. Why would anyone vote for this? Nobody should! www.foxnews.com/politics/sco...
