Because it’s not about reducing bloat, it’s about letting the wealthiest cheat the system.

“The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. " ‘If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?’ "”

Deeply concerned by DHS's decision to end the collective bargaining agreement for thousands of TSA employees. These workers keep us safe every day – they deserve a voice on the job, not union-busting tactics. I stand in solidarity with TSA workers and their right to fair representation.
Housing is a basic need, not a privilege & we're working across the aisle to make it more accessible for all.

Proud to join Rep. Mike Lawler, Senators @coons.senate.gov, & Kevin Cramer to introduce the Choice in Affordable Housing act. This bipartisan bill expands access to rental assistance & helps more families find safe, stable, affordable housing.
Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds. He’s now planning to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Putin’s war—just days after his embarrassing Oval Office meeting where he refused to commit to helping Ukraine. Turning our backs on our allies and refugees is disgraceful.
(Reuters) - Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed Republicans who say their budget doesn't cut Medicaid are lying.
Their budget *requires* the largest Medicaid cuts in American history - all while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to billionaire donors.
Generations of Americans marched, fought, & even died for the right to vote. We can’t allow extremists to threaten their legacy & undermine our democracy.
I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social to introduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & protect the right to vote for ALL Americans!
Trump, Co-President Musk, & MAGA extremists are gutting the Social Security Admin., & even its own acting head is raising the alarm. Outsiders with no expertise are making devastating cuts that will lead to mistakes—hurting seniors, people with disabilities, and families who rely on SSA every day.
Undermining the workforce doesn’t promote efficiency—it hurts taxpayers.
With tax season in full swing, the IRS should be focused on helping Americans—not firing dedicated workers.
Proud to join @doggett.house.gov , @ross.house.gov, and 130+ of my colleagues in condemning these harmful cuts and demanding transparency on how the agency plans to mitigate the fallout.
Federal layoffs are here- and they’re just the beginning. These cuts don’t make government more efficient; they hurt workers, weaken services Americans rely on, and undermine a healthy economy.
This action doesn’t save taxpayers a dime, it only helps Vladimir Putin further his goal of destroying a free and democratic Ukraine.
Every day that the President does the bidding of a bloodthirsty dictator, he damages our reputation and relationships around the world.
Grateful to members of IAFF Local 42, 1055, and 3133 for stopping by my office in Washington to discuss how Congress can better support our local firefighters.
I’ll keep fighting to ensure you get the federal funding you need to keep our communities and first responders safe!
I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Sylvester Turner.
As a former Mayor of Houston and Representative of the 18th District of Texas, he leaves a legacy of public service and commitment to community.
May he rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing.

Thank you @cleaver.house.gov for lifting up #fairhousing as you begin today’s hearing about the country’s lack of housing supply.
Last night, I joined Maxine Waters and Financial Services Committee Democrats as we traveled to HUD to demand an end to the Trump Administration’s efforts to obliterate the agency and programs that support affordable housing for American families.
#HandsOffHousing!
Another massive handout to a bloodthirsty dictator in Vladimir Putin, at the expense of Ukrainian warriors who are on the frontlines in the battle for freedom and democracy.
Congress appropriated this funding to Ukraine, and we must ensure it is delivered as intended.
Rather than working with our longtime allies and trading partners to lower costs for hardworking families, President Trump has started a trade war that will ensure every American sees higher costs at the grocery store.
An unnecessary setback to America’s economic recovery.
