Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.
We've gathered in solidarity wherever federal workers, federal programs and our Constitution are under attack. The majority will defend representative democracy against the cyberbarons.
Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.
As Trump-Musk-Vance attack the LGBTQIA+ community, allies across America are mobilizing in solidarity. I’ve convened a panel of advocates for an on-demand webinar sharing crucial analysis and resources for people oppose this vicious onslaught.
Thanks to the 13,000 participants who joined me for our telephone town hall this week to discuss violations of the rule of law and escalating threats to key federal government programs, federal workers and vulnerable communities. We’re fighting back. Check it out below.
Although the federal courts have blocked Trump's efforts to destroy birthright citizenship for millions of Americans, his campaign to harass & vilify immigrants continues. Immigrant families should know their rights. I've convened a webinar to inform you & your loved ones on what you need to know.
It’s sweet you don’t want to “ruin a kid’s life” (something to bear in mind next time you oppose gun safety laws), but does that mean this “kid” should have access to the private data of tens of millions of Americans? Pathetic.
Which posts do you “disagree” with — “Normalize Indian hate,” “I was racist before it was cool,” “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth,” or “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity”?
The richest man in the world, a billionaire government contractor oligarch who Steve Bannon calls a "truly evil person," wants to control your parents’ Social Security checks, your grandfather’s VA benefits and the flow of cash to federal contractors.
Trump and Musk’s attacks on the civil service—from air traffic controllers to food and drug inspectors—aim to destroy Congressional power, which is the people's power. The real “Fork in the Road” is between democracy and autocracy. Don’t quit on American democracy.
Elon Musk is systematically seizing control over our nation’s communications, financial systems and data and military infrastructures. Musk isn’t a fourth branch of government, just another Silicon Valley who wants to be dictator of the world.
Democrats have got the unity and fight to oppose Trump’s illegal and monarchical decimation of Congressional legislation and federal programs. We will show up wherever and whenever the rule of law is under attack by Elon Musk and his interns.
Social Security is a lifeline for millions and a foundational promise the American people have made to ourselves. I’m seeking urgent answers after constituents contacted my office about temporary outages on the mySSA portal.
Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service. That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.
Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service. Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:
Elon Musk's wrecking ball now swings at USAID, vaporizing humanitarian assistance, putting countless lives at risk, threatening to topple America's economic and moral standing and emboldening autocrats around the world. Stand strong for our top humanitarian aid agency.
The Trump trade war targets two of our closest allies, Canada and Mexico, but plays nice with China, a notorious trade cheat and driver of fentanyl. President Trump owns the economic and national security fallout.
