🚨🚨 DOGE tried to infiltrate the Legislative Branch this week through the Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan agency that reports to Congress. Ranking Member @GerryConnolly is demanding DOGE back away from this assault on the separation of powers.
In an internal email obtained by NOTUS, DOGE notified the U.S. Government Accountability Office that it has “assigned a team” to assail the agency. https://t.co/iAJS3RZvd8

DOGE said 40% of phone calls into Social Security centers were fraud, so it built a tool to track it. Turns out the 40% was actually 0.0018% and the tool slowed down processing significantly.
SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

America is not for sale. President Trump must decline the $400 million private jet corrupt “gift.” The American people—and the world—are watching.

Proud to lead similar legislation in the House. This is a critical step the United States can take right now to stand alongside our friends and allies in Ukraine who are fighting for their survival and their freedom.
Pres. Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on day one. More than 100 days into his term, Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. I’m introducing a bill to prohibit U.S. recognition of any Ukrainian territory seized by Russia—reaffirming our commitment to the Ukrainian

The Trump Admin is doing everything in its power to stop whistleblowers from disclosing potential wrongdoing and waste, fraud, & abuse—including forcing gag orders & NDAs on employees. Why is Trump trying to cover his tracks? Oversight Democrats launch another investigation.
EXCLUSIVE: House Democrats are raising concerns about how the VA may be using non-disclosure agreements with employees tied to downsizing efforts. Details here:

Donald Trump is raising prices for you while he's accepting a "palace in the sky" from a foreign government. It's not only blatantly unconstitutional, it's about as out of touch as it gets. https://t.co/dmMMyEh1X9

The election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, is a moment of great joy and possibility for Catholics around the world. I join all who hope he will continue Pope Francis’s legacy of reform, moral clarity, and compassion for those among us who need it most.

Public servants, including our incredible federal employees, are our nation’s unsung heroes. During this Public Service Recognition Week, as public servants are under unprecedented attack, I introduced a resolution to honor and celebrate their service. https://t.co/Zryuu1IrDA

Major conflict of interest. Here's Ranking Member @GerryConnolly's statement on reports that President Trump and the @USPS governing board will name FedEx board member David Steiner as the next postmaster general:
President Trump and the U.S. Postal Service’s governing board are expected to name FedEx board member David Steiner as the nation’s next postmaster general, helping solidify the White House’s control over the historically independent mail service.

Elon Musk & DOGE are getting rid of the workers who make sure billionaires & corporations pay taxes. It's going to increase the national debt—no matter how much Republicans try to cut Medicaid and food assistance. Terrible deal for Americans. https://t.co/VDy0esKnDj

Great news! The House just passed my Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act, which makes it easier for veterans with disabilities to be made financially whole if they are defrauded of their benefits. https://t.co/RbtWpjD36K
