I’m hearing all the time from federal workers, nonprofits, LGBTQIA+ Americans, immigrant families, and others in our community who have been targeted and harmed by the president’s actions. I wrote this letter about our path forward.

On Friday, @SecRubio took time from his four federal jobs—archivist, national security advisor, USAID administrator and Secretary of State—to fire 1,300 civil servants from the @StateDept who each do their one federal job well. A cowardly move that makes America less safe and has

House Republicans just voted to block the release of the Epstein files. They're not acting like the "preeminent" branch of the government seeking justice, but like a petite lapdog asking for treats at the White House.

We're asking the Trump DOJ to come clean with what they know about Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of children. If the files exist, get them off Attorney General Bondi's desk and into the hands of Congress and the American people.

Correct, but the Constitution does say you can’t ship people to a dictator’s prison in El Salvador without Due Process, arrest people without probable clause, ban books, impose tariffs not authorized by Congress or nullify birthright citizenship. Take a peek some time!.

Trump’s swinging his royal wrecking ball at the State Department, sacking the diplomats and civil servants who negotiate to end conflicts, defend human rights and save lives all over the world. Madness.

Cancer researchers, air traffic controllers, food safety inspectors and other experts are committed public servants who serve the people, not the president. Trump and DOGE sacked them by the thousands and now we're seeing the consequences.

I know you’re new to Congress, Mr. Fine, but we don’t call our colleagues terrorists here. It just makes you look idiotic. At a time when MN Democrats have been targeted for assassination by a right-wing extremist, your rhetoric is seriously dangerous. Apologize now.

Food service workers with @unitehere keep the People's House nourished and running. I'm proud to stand in solidarity with them as they demand that the House's new food vendor preserve their jobs and the strong union contract they've negotiated.

This ruling will give Trump’s wrecking crew more awful ideas about sacking critical federal workers, like regional meteorologists with the National Weather Service and climate scientists at NOAA. No specific plan has been approved but America needs to tell Trump to stop.

BREAKING:. The Supreme Court just announced the Trump admin can move forward with plans to slash the federal work force and dismantle agencies. The decision could result in tens of thousands of job losses at HUD, State, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs.

MAGA’s assault on women’s access to Planned Parenthood’s basic health services is an unconstitutional reprisal & discrimination for their offering abortion services. This lawsuit fights for safe & affordable health care for everyone in every community.

Even Republicans in Congress are pointing out Trump doesn't seem to realize the bill slashes hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid which he says is a taboo. Why are they doing this? No one can say.

Leader Jeffries has been speaking on the House floor for more than seven hours, railing against the GOP’s tax scheme. He’s holding the floor for the American people, and we stand with him.
