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.
NEW: The Social Security Administration acting head said in a private meeting that DOGE is driving massive cuts to the agency and will make mistakes. Called DOGE "outsiders who are unfamiliar with nuances of SSA programs...I am receiving decisions that are made without my input"
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.
More than 130 Democrats are condemning the Trump administration’s firing of thousands of IRS employees during tax filing season, saying it may put a dent in compliance efforts and taxpayer service.
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.
The United States has paused major portions of its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, squeezing the flow of vital information that Kyiv has used to repel invading Russian forces and strike back at select targets inside of Russia.
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.
BREAKING: Rep. Sylvester Turner has died at the age of 70 after suffering a medical emergency, according to two House Democratic lawmakers. Turner was just weeks into his first term in Congress.
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.
BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Trump orders pausing of US military aid for Ukraine after Oval Office blowup, pressuring Zelenskyy on Russia talks.
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.
Tomatoes, T-shirts and cars are among the vast array of goods that could become pricier with new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
March is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the contributions of women and celebrate the bold, groundbreaking achievements of American women in every field. As we honor the bravery of the trailblazing women who came before us, let us continue the ongoing fight for gender equality.
It’s become abundantly clear that the Trump Administration is seeking to throw Ukraine to the Russian wolves. It is incumbent on Congress to exert its independent powers to continue support for our democratic friends who are resisting Putin’s despicable invasion.
This is the most embarrassing and shameful moment I’ve ever witnessed from the Oval Office. American leadership publicly siding with a Dictator in Vladimir Putin and berating a democratic friend in Ukraine will not be forgotten by any nation around the world.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media
President Trump, co-president Musk, and their benefactor billionaires from Wall Street are working to gut Social Security so they can give themselves trillions in tax cuts. Stealing from the working class to further enrich the unfathomably wealthy. It’s reverse Robin Hood on steroids.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration employees receive an email announcing "significant workforce reductions" and encouraging retirements and resignations. Previously sources have stated that cuts could hit 50% of the workforce prospect.org/health/2025-...
President Trump’s gag order on public health agencies is harming efforts to contain the bird flu outbreak, which is putting public health at risk & driving up egg prices. I joined @delauro.house.gov & 83 other House Democrats to demand the gag order be lifted & inter-agency collaboration restored.
Work requirements don’t get people back to work, they just create another layer of bureaucracy to kick people off the rolls. The GOP is just afraid to admit they're trying to rip healthcare away from working class Americans to fund tax cuts for their billionaire donors.
Moments after vowing no cuts to Medicaid, Mike Johnson says he supports work requirements for Medicaid
I'm proud to stand with @sylviagarcia.house.gov in supporting the American Dream and Promise Act. Dreamers strengthen our communities, fuel our economy, and deserve a pathway to citizenship. Their future is our future. #HomeIsHere
