No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Frances C. Perkins (1880-1965), was the first woman ever to serve in a presidential cabinet. She served with President F.D. Roosevelt and was the 4th US Secretary of Labor for the Democratic Party. She was a key figure in the creation of the Social Security Act of 1935. #WomensHistoryMonth

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

Funding the government is a bipartisan process — both sides come together, negotiate spending levels, and pass a bill. Instead, Republicans have decided to pass partisan legislation that includes devastating cuts. Democrats won’t be complicit in hurting working people.

Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

In addition to my Protect Social Security and Medicare bill, I am excited to co-sponsor two new bills that would protect Social Security from Trump and Musk! These bills would ensure they cannot close Social Security field offices and block Musk/DOGE from violating seniors' personal information.

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.
