Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits. My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

🚨Trump’s VA just canceled maternity leave for new and expecting parents - even mothers giving birth THIS WEEK. That is beyond cruel. Our workers deserve better, and I stand shoulder to shoulder with them in this fight.

Last week, the VA was the first federal agency to terminate a union contract.

As #SocialSecurity turns 90, Americans are rising up to defend their EARNED BENEFITS from Trump's 'DOGE' attacks. I joined @MIFairCare, @ForOurFutureMI, and @SSWorks to demand action. I'm working with @repkmr and @HouseDemocrats to not only protect but enhance Social Security.

🔔The Republican Budget sets into motion $536 BILLION in cuts to MEDICARE over the next decade. That will hurt our doctors, hospitals, and seniors. While Trump and the GOP slash health care to pay for tax cuts for rich, Democrats are fighting to strengthen Medicare, not cut it!.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has put more than $21 BILLION back in Americans’ pockets. Donald Trump and his ‘DOGE’ are dismantling it to shield fraudsters from accountability. We’ll continue to fight this attack on working families in the courts and in Congress!.

A new report is out, and it shows how YOU are footing the bill for Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Families struggling to make ends meet will lose $1,200/year while the wealthy see thousands in new tax breaks. Slashing Medicaid and SNAP so the rich get richer is no way to govern.

I was honored to celebrate Pakistani Independence Day at the State Capitol with members of our state's Pakistani-American community. We must remember those who fought for independence by continuing to support human rights and democracy across the globe.

Thank you to everyone who came out to mark the 90th anniversary of #SocialSecurity in East Hartford this morning. It's not enough to celebrate Social Security - we must protect it from Trump's privatization scheme and enhance benefits so our seniors can keep up with rising costs.
