General Timothy Haugh has served our country with honor & distinction for decades. Trump fired NSA Director General Hough to demonstrate his belief that the safety of Americans should belong in the hands of those who are loyal to him and him alone.
Across the country today, Americans are grappling with the reality of higher costs, financial insecurity, and job uncertainty as a direct result of President Trump’s tax increase.
Faced with financial market panic, his administration is fanning out to describe the impact of his tariffs as ‘short term pain,’ as if that pain were not both serious & literal for everyday Americans.
What he did was stand in the Rose Garden and proudly announce the largest tax increase on middle-class Americans in our nation’s history – one that will cost the average American family thousands of dollars each year.
For years we’ve been told to take Donald Trump seriously, but not literally. We were told his incoherent economic philosophy & outrageous rhetoric were merely negotiating tactics for a master in the art of the deal. What he did yesterday ought to throw any such nuanced interpretation aside.
I have long advocated for the important role that early childhood education plays in our children’s futures. Trump, Musk, and RFK threaten our collective future by dismantling Head Start regional offices. We must keep working to protect these services for American families from these attacks.
Trump, Vought, and Musk have labeled federal employees as "villains," including those at HHS who work every day to ensure the health and safety of our nation. America knows that the real villains are not those who serve others but rather those who serve only themselves.

American families deserve leaders who understand the struggles parents face.   That’s why @pettersen.house.gov is fighting to make Congress more accessible to parents and families through her bipartisan resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely after their child is born.
I commend @booker.senate.gov for, as my brother John Lewis always encouraged, getting into 'good trouble' as he continues to speak on the Senate Floor against the Trump Administration's unlawful policies and attacks on the American people. Democrats are standing with you, Cory.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

In today's Democratic Daily Download, Rep John Larson calls out Trump-Musk's attacks on Social Security. They're coming after your earned benefits. Today, we'll hear directly from Americans who are impacted by these cuts. We're fighting for families and seniors, not billionaires!
Our students deserve to attend class without fear of discrimination. I joined @raskin.house.gov in writing to Secretary McMahon to demand answers on the Trump Administration's decision to illegally close 7 of the Dept. of Education's Civil Rights regional offices. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
President Trump and Secretary McMahon fired the employees responsible for protecting students’ civil rights in Maryland and our region. We’re demanding answers. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @meeks.house.gov explains why the Signal chat was a threat to our national security, why Hegseth must resign and how Dems are forcing a vote to compel the Trump Administration into releasing all details surrounding the disclosure of classified info.
