Make no mistake, this brazen attack will lead to the shut down of public libraries and museums across the country. This map details the impacts: imls.gov/map

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.

Every single one of my Republican Ways and Means colleagues just voted to oppose much-needed transparency into why and how Musk has sought treasury payment information and American’s sensitive data. If no laws have been broken, there should be nothing to hide. www.youtube.com/shorts/vxUo0...

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.

Mahmoud Khalil must be released, the Trump Administration must answer for his detention, and these attacks on First Amendment rights must end.

🚨BREAKING: With @raskin.house.gov & @scanlon.house.gov, I’m leading 100+ House Democrats in demanding answers on Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest. Trump’s attempt to deport Khalil is authoritarian & an attack on the First Amendment. We won’t sit quietly as his administration tries to dismantle free speech.

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...

President Trump and his allies are already crafting a plan to make good on their promise to cut federal spending this year, and plan to fast-track it.

Amid an opioid epidemic and mental health crisis, Trump is cutting vital care for millions of Americans. SAMHSA oversees the 9-8-8 Lifeline, which provides critical help to Americans in crisis. Gutting their work will raise risks of deaths by suicide and overdose. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/h...

Raúl Grijalva faced his fight with cancer with the same courage he showed fighting for his constituents and for the poor and underprivileged across this country. He was my colleague, my chairman, and my friend, and I'll miss him dearly. My best to his family, friends, and staff.

Rich oil executives and polluting corporations who bankrolled Trump's campaign are getting exactly what they paid for. It's corrupt as hell, and I will be working with colleagues at @houseseec.bsky.social to shine a light on it and fight back. More here: seec.house.gov/media/press-...

I joined @markey.senate.gov and colleagues in speaking out against the attacks on climate coming from this White House and the threat it poses to the livelihood of future generations. The EPA’s responsibility is to protect the American public, not to fulfill the fossil fuel industry’s wish list.

30,000+ federal workers have been unfairly fired in DOGE’s political purge. These firings targeted food safety specialists, highway workers,health researchers, and more, jeopardizing all of us. My MERIT Act would give these critical employees their jobs back with the back pay they deserve.
