Trump and DOGE are trying to gut FEMA. They just fired their own acting administrator who dared to challenge them even once. And installed a new one whose plans will risk lives and hurt communities when they need help the most.
I joined Chinatown community members & leaders today whose livelihoods depend on Medicaid Republicans want to take an axe to Medicaid: It will hammer our hospitals Our nursing homes will be decimated People will lose their jobs And millions of New Yorkers will lose health care
Trump's firing 92% of staff at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. They’re a critical agency that helps factory workers, farmers, firefighters, and healthcare workers prevent work-related injury, illness, and death. It’s unconscionable, dangerous, and hurts working people.
I’m standing with @warren.senate.gov to lead Democrats in helping the lawsuit against Trump’s attempts to dismantle the CFPB. Trump’s entire slash and burn agenda is geared toward making life better for billionaires and big banks and worse for working families.
1000 measles cases. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after DOGE cancelled $11 billion that went to state and local public health departments. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after the CDC fired infectious disease experts. Trump and RFK Jr. must act to stop measles now.
We just learned that there was ANOTHER outage with the FAA in Newark this morning.   Enough.   Trump needs to get it together now and stop risking safety so DOGE can play government.
“See you in court”

That's what the fired members of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are telling Trump. 
Trump doesn't have the power to fire members of USCPSC. 
Trump's just mad because we've worked with USCPSC to stop poorly-made lithium-ion batteries from continuing to hurt people.
A post from Alex Hoehn-Saric reads: "President Trump is attempting to illegally remove me from the CPSC. See my statement."
I'm with @momsrising.org fighting back against the harmful Republican plans to cut to health care, child care, and Social Security. We won't stop working to give our children everything they need to become happy, strong, and prosperous members of society.
Trump’s supposed trade deal with the UK isn’t a triumph of strategy—it’s a product of chaos Who knows if he’ll actually stick with the “deal” or what he’ll say next He’s constantly giving everyone whiplash His cabinet's already lowering expectations It's the Trump credo: government by chaos
It is equal parts exciting and wonderful that Cardinal Robert Prevost, an American, has been chosen to be the next Pope. I extend well wishes to our fellow Catholic Americans and Catholics worldwide as they welcome the papacy of Leo XIV.
A headline from the AP reads: “Robert Prevost of the United States is named Pope Leo XIV”
Telling Americans that you want to axe their health care so that extremely rich people can pay less in taxes is a horrible message. But Republicans are working overtime to get it done. That is the definition of cruelty.
No matter which scheme for Medicaid cuts Republicans choose, it will result in millions being kicked off their health insurance. There's no way for Republicans to accomplish their goal of massive tax giveaways for the wealthy without devastating millions of Americans.
An image shows a post from Jake Sherman that reads: "BREAKING -- A new CBO analysis shows that several policies Republicans are considering for slashing Medicaid spending would lead to millions of people losing health insurance coverage. The analysis, requested by Democrats, says that per capita caps for the Medicaid expansion population would save $225 billion in federal spending and result in 1.5 million more uninsured people by 2034. Blocking provider taxes could save $668 billion and lead 3.9 million to lose coverage, per CBO. Read CBO's letter to Democrats here: http://pbwl.news/yhw"
Trump’s tariffs are a painful tax eating away at Americans' hard-earned money Americans deserve to know who's picking their pockets My bill with Rep. Raskin will make clear that Trump's promise to lower costs on day 1 was fiction—all for a tariff policy that's sending our economy into a tailspin
Donald Trump is taxing the American people with his tariffs, and they have a right to know exactly how much. I'm introducing legislation with @raskin.house.gov to require retailers to show consumers precisely how much the tariffs are increasing the prices of their products.
This report makes clear the disturbing trend I have been warning about—the rise of antisemitism in America.  Social media has become a breeding ground for antisemitism. We must not allow this to grow unabated. It’s everyone’s responsibility to fight back against antisemitism.
A headline from the ADL reads: “Nearly Five-Fold Increase in Antisemitic Harassment on Facebook Directed at Jewish Members of Congress, New ADL Research Finds”
The Knicks wiping out 20-point deficits twice and Bridges with second monster defensive play on the last shot! As Yogi said: It's Deja vu all over again!  Go New York! Go New York! GO!!!!
