Federal workers show up for the American people every day. They do their jobs. Donald Trump should try doing his. Stop trashing the Constitution and our laws.
There's no labor movement without democracy and there's no democracy without the labor movement. I joined @afscme.bsky.social to discuss how MAGA's cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid undermine the achievements of democracy and will devastate our families.
Putin, who has sent around one million Russians to their deaths in his imperialist attack on Ukraine, salutes his fellow tyrant-dictator Kim Jong Un for sacrificing thousands of North Koreans in this sickening war. All free democracies stand with Ukraine.
House Republicans are trying to ram through a budget that ends Medicaid as we know it and discards the interests of children, seniors and veterans. Shoulder to shoulder, the people say 'hell no.' Hang tough everybody.
Trump’s working to turn America’s professional civil service into an army of MAGA-cap brandishing sycophants, completely gutting the Hatch Act and hustling America down the path of Orbán and Putin. We have to stop this.
The nominee for U.S. Attorney in D.C. is a Jan. 6 conspiracy theorist and celebrant who praised a white supremacist Hitler-lover as an “extraordinary man, and extraordinary leader.” Are there no Republicans who will oppose this disgraceful nomination? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Tim Whitehouse and his team at PEER protect the rights of civil servants who protect our environment. This MD-08 Local Hero makes sure the critical functions of our government run properly to protect the land, air, water and climate.
Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.
This is a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s authoritarian campaign of trying to bully, intimidate and impeach judges who won’t follow his dictates. We must do whatever we can to defend the independent judiciary in America.
BREAKING: Ranking Member Jamie Raskin’s statement on the arrest of a Wisconsin judge by Trump’s FBI—"a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s authoritarian campaign."  democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/documen...
On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and millions of others killed during the Holocaust. Let the memory of those who were murdered serve as our calling to combat antisemitism and hate.
Will DOGE reject funding for the Defense Secretary’s new state-of-the-art makeup studio? Or will they protect the Fox Newsification of our government while Trump ravages the great programmatic achievements of democracy, like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid?
Trump’s Justice Department ordered armed agents to intimidate a witness set to testify before our bicameral hearing. These thuggish tactics are intolerable—and we’re demanding answers.
Sens. Schiff and Booker, along with Rep. Raskin, are demanding answers from DOJ over its reported attempt to block ex-pardon attorney Liz Oyer from participating in an oversight hearing. "This thuggish act is an escalation of this Administration's attacks on career officials" across the DOJ.
House GOP leaders are telling the rank-and-file not to spill the beans about their plans to slash Medicaid. MAGA Republicans are constantly scrambling to deny their actual plans because we Americans reject their top-down warfare on the working-class majority.
Sending best wishes to my esteemed friend @durbin.senate.gov. He’s a constitutional patriot and a stalwart in the fight to defend strong democracy and freedom. We’ll keep working together in the 119th Congress and beyond.
The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator. But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch. So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.
Pope Francis led with humility, solidarity & gentleness, but he was an undaunted champion of the global poor, human rights, climate action & peace on earth. The world has lost a great faith leader & the vicious sniping of right-wing misanthropes only increases his moral power.
