As part of today's Medicaid Matters Day of Action, @repkimschrier.bsky.social and House Democrats across the country are fighting to protect this vital lifeline from Republican cuts. Learn more about what why Medicaid is so important on today's Democratic Daily Download ⤵️

Donald Trump wants to freeze paychecks for federal workers in '26. Our government can't work if federal employees are afraid they will be fired, underpaid, or forced to move. See my full statement: hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to destroy Social Security—and Republicans in Congress are helping them do it. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repespaillat.bsky.social promises we will keep up the fight on behalf of our seniors.

The mass layoffs & slashes to research funding at HHS would affect our ability to combat public health challenges, & could even cost lives. I joined @alsobrooks.senate.gov & MD Democratic Delegation to demand answers from Secretary Kennedy on the impact these cuts would have on our state & country.

Hoyer Joins Alsobrooks, Maryland Democratic Delegation in Pushing Sec. Kennedy for Answers on Disastrous Mass Layoffs

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) joined a letter led by U.S. Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) with the Maryland Democratic Delegation – U.S.

Trump's proposed cuts to NASA's budget would be detrimental to our progress in advancing science & technology. I will continue fighting against this proposal to ensure NASA continues its critical missions & vital work for America’s national security & future success. wtop.com/maryland/202...

Hardworking American taxpayers shouldn't have to bear additional costs just so the wealthy can get out of paying what they legally owe.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 15(source)

Meanwhile, Republicans continue their assault on the IRS's enforcement budget. Even though studies indicate $1 invested in examining tax returns for millionaires yields $12 in federal revenue, the agency has been desperately understaffed and underfunded for decades.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 15(source)

Trump & Musk's DOGE henchmen have also accessed taxpayers’ private data, including their Social Security numbers, addresses, financial history, and much more. Furthermore, they intend to breach longstanding legal firewalls, sharing rather than protecting sensitive taxpayer data.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 15(source)

By cutting IRS funding and purging staff at the height of tax season, Trump, Musk, and Vought have deleted the people throughout our nation who provide customer service to taxpayers, hear tax disputes, crack down on tax fraud, and ensure Americans get their tax refunds on time.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 15(source)

This #TaxDay, let’s remember that the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have made it harder for working Americans to file their taxes and easier for the wealthiest tax cheats to get out of paying their fair share. THREAD:

The United States must continue providing aid to our allies in Ukraine to ensure its survival and deal Russia a definitive strategic defeat. Proud to work with @meeks.house.gov and my colleagues to introduce legislation that supports Ukraine in this battle for democracy.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 15(source)

Trump & Musk's actions at the US Treasury and attacks on the IRS undermine the success of Direct File & threatens our work to support taxpayers. Democrats will keep working to expand this vital program to continue lowering costs for hardworking Americans.

DOGE’s IRS cuts will cost the average American a fortune

Today is Tax Day, and the brazen attack of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) against the federal government looms large over the IRS.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govApr 15(source)

Today, Tax Day, is the last day to file tax returns & I am proud that thousands of Americans utilized IRS Direct File to file securely & for free this year. There is still time to join the 32 million taxpayers who have participated since 2024, & I encourage all in #MD05 to check their eligibility:

Elon Musk & the Trump Admin are slashing staff & causing chaos & long wait times at Social Security offices across the country. I visited the Social Security office in Greenbelt to hear from seniors about the importance of protecting this hard-earned benefit from Republican cuts.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @ivey.house.gov discusses how Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported by the Trump Administration, denied due process and sent to an infamous prison in El Salvador. The court has ordered him to be returned and this Administration must comply without delay.

Putin has shown he’s not serious about ending his war of choice in Ukraine—so the world must stay the course and compel him: sanction Russia, support Ukraine, hold Putin accountable. @meeks.house.gov and @hoyer.house.gov’s new bill does exactly that⬇️ www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

US lawmakers look to boost Ukraine, sanction Russia, sources say

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced legislation on Monday to bolster Ukraine in its war with Russia, another effort to pressure the Trump administration to back the Kyiv government, sources familiar with the effort said.

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov and former Majority Leader @hoyer.house.gov today introduced a comprehensive bill to support Ukraine and thwart Russia's ability to wage its illegal war there.

I am glad to join @meeks.house.gov and my colleagues to introduce legislation to support our allies in Ukraine and aid their recovery with tougher sanctions & economic measures on Russia. We must remain steadfast in this battle to ensure a Ukrainian victory. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Chag Pesach Sameach to all celebrating Passover in #MD05 & around the world. As Seders begin tonight at sunset, we think of the 59 hostages still held in Hamas captivity. Let us continue to be inspired by the hope and resilience of the Jewish people as we pray for and work toward freedom and peace.
