Let me be clear, dismantling the federal department responsible for the health and well-being of our nation and firing thousands of federal employees who work there is far from efficient. It's irresponsible and deadly.

🚨Medicare Advantage isn't Medicare, it's private insurance.
These private insurers sacrifice patient outcomes for corporate profit.
Along with @jayapal.house.gov, @delauro.house.gov, & @doggett.house.gov, I’m leading 74 members in calling on the administration to reform Medicare DisAdvantage.
The fight doesn't end here. We must take on big polluters and push them to change their behavior so that our future generations have a planet to live on.
I am disappointed to see that SCOTUS ended the Juliana v US case.
I was proud to lead several amicus briefs in support of this landmark climate lawsuit and I will continue to fight for our children's right to a safe climate.

We are the richest country in the world, yet women still haven't achieved full political and economic equality.
Every day, millions of women face inequities and discrimination in the workplace.
Let's raise the wage, implement paid leave, and fully ratify the ERA. #EqualPayDay
This is why I continue my fight for a comprehensive privacy bill for all Americans.
Thankfully, Illinois residents concerned with the privacy of their genetic data can demand 23andMe delete any saved genetic data under state law!
We must expand Social Security benefits, not cut them, and I have a bill to do just that.
The Social Security Expansion Act will protect the national treasure that is Social Security by extending the trust fund’s solvency for 75 years and expanding benefits by $2,400 a year.
Each and every paycheck you earn, you're paying into Social Security. You make this payment with the promise that when you retire, you'll have income to rely on.
The GOP, led by Trump and Musk, have decided that you no longer have the right to your money. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I served on the Intelligence Committee for eight years. This level of stupidity and incompetence gets our troops and allies killed.
Trump and his billionaire cronies do NOT have the power to abolish the Department of Education.
They want to harm our students, take jobs away from teachers, all to profit off of private education.
Justice will prevail.
My joint statement with @nadler.house.gov on Trump’s attempt to illegally fire the two Democratic FTC Commissioners.
These illegal firings risk the FTC’s ability to stand up to corporate abuses and protect consumers.
President Trump is making yet another agency into a political tool for his billionaire buddies.
It leaves Americans defenseless against skyrocketing prices and unchecked monopolies.
Corrupt tech billionaires are trying to solidify rules that protect and enrich themselves—at the expense of consumers and their wallets.
The world needs more Nita Loweys. I’m sending all my love to Nita’s beloved husband, Stephen, and her entire family. May her memory forever be a blessing.
I relied on her steady leadership and advice for so many years and marveled as she has navigated one of the most important positions in the entire Congress, Chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee.
Nita will surely be missed, but she leaves a legacy behind that is second to none.
I’m truly heartbroken to hear about the passing of my dear friend and mentor, former Congresswoman Nita Lowey.
Nita was the foremost champion of human rights and enhanced the role of women in development.
Listen to the women, For the People.
All my love goes out to Raul’s family, friends, and staff. We will continue the fight in his honor.
