Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Somewhere in the future, a decendent of Lin-Manuel Miranda will be trying to find a rhyming word for “orange,” and find himself coming up short. Words that may be more easily rapped: liar, monster, traitor, rapist, swindler, and…hmmm, what rhymes with “yahtzee?” #BroadwayCares #EquityFightsAids

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Dems should call for immediate hearings on what caused tonight’s plane crash, including the impact of the removal of FAA safety protocols and personnel.

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA. He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress. And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers. The buck stops with him.

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair. He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize. Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether? Amazon and SpaceX.

For the last four years, Jennifer Abruzzo vigorously defended workers' rights and cracked down on union-busters as General Counsel at the National Labor Relations Board. She was one of the strongest pro-worker voices in the federal government. Trump just fired her.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

Cutting SNAP hurts 20M kids a month who rely on it for basic nutrition. How is this the “cost-saving program” to target first? Kids can’t eat concepts of a pla. Food is not a luxury and kids didn't vote for this. Fork Trump and all who voted for him.
