The Federal Communications Commission was established to act in the public's interest, not in the Trump Administration's.
I'll keep working to ensure the FCC remains focused on helping Americans access internet & communication technologies and continues to protect them from potential perils.

I am concerned that the FCC is weaponizing its authority, attacking the press & first amendment, and is distracted from its mission to keep Americans connected.
Join @democrats-appropriations.house.gov now as we ensure the FCC continues protecting our rights to free speech and press.
Dismantling @usedgov.bsky.social would put millions of students at an immense disadvantage and their future in jeopardy.
Join me and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov at 10:00 a.m. as we seek answers from Secretary McMahon on how the Trump Administration plans to support our children's success.
Our federal employees continue to show up for democracy and the services the American people rely on. They work for America and deserve better than villanization & being put in "trauma.”
I stand with federal employees as we combat Trump, Vought, and Musk's illegal attacks on the federal workforce.
The SEC ought to address mistrust and fraud in markets by improving enforcement, not by firing federal employees who identify practices that harm the American people.
Democrats will keep working to ensure the SEC can protect investors to rebuild confidence in the market.

House Republicans are so ashamed of the GOP Tax Scam that they are planning a 1 AM committee meeting tonight to jam it through Congress.
In today's Democratic Daily Download, @repmcgovern.bsky.social breaks down what's in this ugly bill and what Democrats are doing to stop it.
Cuts at the SEC weakens its ability to go after corruption & enforce laws, which may have implications for Trump's business ventures.
Watch now as @democrats-appropriations.house.gov verify that the SEC has the tools to ensure the market is orderly and fair for all Americans.

House Republicans are trying to take away health care from nearly 14 million Americans and force community clinics to cut services or close. They also want to take away food assistance from kids, seniors, and veterans.
@levin.house.gov explains more in today’s Democratic Daily Download.
It is imperative that we address our nation's deep deficits and debt and ensure Americans do not continue to bear the brunt of this administration's fiscal irresponsibility. Let us keep working to rebuild the economic strength & stability of our country.
Sadly, Republicans remain focused on forcing through their "big, beautiful bill" that rips health care coverage away from millions of Americans and explodes the national debt in order to pass their massive tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals.
This shift comes as no surprise as the Trump Administration's trade & tax policies will add trillions to our debt and slow our economy according to a multitude of warnings from analysts and experts.
Last week, the third of the three major credit rating agencies downgraded U.S. creditworthiness for the first time in over a century.
I was saddened to learn of my good friend & former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis.
Joe has persevered through the many challenges, and I know he'll continue to do so as he endures this battle. I extend my support to the Biden family and pray for a full recovery.
The decision to move the FBI headquarters to Greenbelt, Maryland was final.
If the Trump Administration truly wants to meet the FBI's vital national security and law enforcement mission, it'll work with Team Maryland to proceed on this project.

The GOP Tax Scam takes health care away from nearly 14 million Americans, including kicking more than 8 million people off Medicaid.
On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @degette.house.gov explains how we are fighting to stop this disastrous bill.
The #ADA was all about access. Today, that includes the internet.
I joined with Representative Pete Sessions to introduce the Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act to build on the ADA and remove digital barriers for individuals with disabilities.
I invite you to join us for an Open Mic Night to recognize the finalists of #MD05's Black History Month 2025 Essay Contest.
I look forward to a night of insightful dialogue featuring the compelling works written by our district's talented students.

Who is even running HHS? Secretary Kennedy or Elon Musk?
It is clear that the Trump Administration is making decisions to appease billionaires with little consideration of the consequences these cuts are having on the American people.
The Federal Trade Commission needs to be loyal to the country & the oath that we take to the Constitution, not to any individual or administration.
I will continue working to ensure the FTC remains nonpartisan & is able to maintain the public's trust & its credibility.

The Republican budget cuts food assistance to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repshontelbrown.bsky.social shows how House Democrats are fighting back every step of the way.
