Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter were FTC commissioners before they were illegally sacked by Trump and DOGE. These MD-08 Local Heroes are defending independent commissions so they can keep working to protect consumers against scams and rip-off artists.
President Trump and Elon Musk sacked public servants working at the FDA, an agency tasked with ensuring the safety of our foods and medicines. MAHA deciphered: Making America Hazardous for All.
Honored to meet with a delegation of parliamentarians from Ukraine to express my undaunted support for their struggle against Putin's bloody, illegal war. From Moscow to Mar-a-Lago, the gangster autocrats will not silence the global fight for democracy and freedom.
Tens of thousands of my constituents devote their careers to public service. They go to work every day to help America, often passing up lucrative opportunities in the private sector. They are patriots and we should thank them, not vilify them and drive them from public service.
Trump’s Liberation Day! Liberating millions of Americans from our stock market gains & retirement savings. Liberating us from the burden of having loyal democratic allies. Liberating shoppers from affordable vegetables, cars, & medicine. Liberating us from our Constitution.
Thanks Senator Cassidy for reminding America: When MAGA says it will “reform” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, they mean they will “cut” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Clearly time to “reform” MAGA.
Sen. Bill Cassidy: "Is there some way that we cut Medicare so that it's-- excuse me, reform Medicare."
If Trump & Musk have suffered an unprecedented number of judicial injunctions, it is because they have committed an unprecedented number of illegal actions. We don’t have rogue district judges, we have a rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day. Watch my statement:
Ranking Member Jamie Raskin delivers his opening statement during today’s hearing on how MAGA Republicans want to change how the judicial system works because Trump keeps losing in court.
Proud of @booker.senate.gov for breaking the record for longest time holding the Senate floor. Today you’ve lifted up all Americans injured by MAGA’s billionaire crusade against voting rights, Social Security, Medicaid and health care. Keep walking, keep talking, keep fighting.
At this moment of autocrats vilifying judges and the rule of law, lawyers can prove why they're lawyers. This is the time to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and for people under attack.
We rise with Senator Cory Booker as he holds the Senate floor against Trump’s attempts to rip apart the Bill of Rights and the rule of law. Stand strong, Cory! America is with you.
On this Trans Day of Visibility—while Trump and MAGA scapegoat and fearmonger—we recommit to fighting so all Americans can live with equal rights and respect under the law.
Tom Di Liberto is an accomplished climate scientist and analyst who was axed from NOAA by Musk's DOGE. This MD-08 Local Hero exemplifies the dedication and creativity of thousands of federal employees.
I stood today with leaders of the labor movement against Trump, Musk and MAGA as they swing a wrecking ball at the government, the federal workforce and collective bargaining rights.
