To my Republican colleagues: are you ok with this? Our dedicated workforce has been harassed, maligned and decimated by Trump-Musk. You have been silent. When will just two of you have the courage to stand with us and support the law and the public servants who work for America?

Don’t be fooled by DOGE or by Republican talking points that their new budget roots out waste. It’s all smoke and mirrors to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. Read more👇🏽 www.elpasotimes.com/story/opinio...

I voted against H.R. 35 - a messaging bill that does nothing to make our communities safer - and I wanted to tell you why. youtu.be/sMPsG8swivg?...

Republicans are eliminating jobs that support our nation’s veterans, including processing benefits, providing memorial services, and even crisis care. This isn’t about cutting waste or fraud. It’s about shifting funding to massive tax cuts for billionaires. www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

“Reasonable” That’s what one of my Republican colleagues thinks of slashing programs like SNAP, Medicare, Social Security to fund a tax giveaway to the ultra-wealthy. I had some thoughts about that👇🏽

How can Republicans preach "lower spending levels" when the tax cuts they want to extend have INCREASED our deficit? The ideas of trickle down economics or that tax cuts for billionaires "pay for themselves" are purposeful lies.

The Republican budget plan is a betrayal to the American people. Their plan to fund $5 trillion in tax cuts for their billionaire friends comes at the expense of YOUR healthcare and YOUR access to life-saving programs like SNAP. youtu.be/OoNw9YP991w

Republicans & DOGE just released their budget plans to ensure corporations and the ultra-wealthy receive a $2 trillion tax cut at YOUR expense. The rich are getting richer by slashing federal funds for your healthcare, your education, and your food. democrats-budget.house.gov/legislation/...

I'm a proud supporter of the Taxpayer Data Protection Act because I believe an unaccountable billionaire shouldn't have access to YOUR sensitive information that'll make him and his businesses richer. @housedemocrats.bsky.social tried bringing this bill for a vote, but Republicans refused.

Yesterday at the Treasury Department, I asked where Republicans stand on an unelected billionaire accessing your private, sensitive information. Today we got our answer: they’re ok with it.

"Government efficiency" is a dog whistle for slashes to federal funding. That same federal funding school districts in my community rely on to ensure children get a good education are all at risk just because Republicans want to gain favor with President Musk.

If you’re a federal employee who received President Trump's “Fork in the Road” memo, you should know your rights. Don't be tricked or threatened into resigning; you can't trust someone running the government like the mafia.

None of this changes that Medicaid portals were down, community health centers couldn’t access funding, & agencies and governments offering critical services in El Paso aren’t sure if they’ll be reimbursed. Trump is trying to eliminate jobs and cut programs to give billionaires big tax breaks.

Leave it to Republicans to callously, heartlessly suggest that kids who participate in free lunch programs “sponge off the government.” Republican priorities are not YOUR priorities.

These exceptions are incredibly important but THEY ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE EO. The words on the page are what must be followed and you shouldn’t have to worry if you’ll receive the benefits YOU EARNED because Trump doesn’t care enough to think through the consequences.

My team and I have been on the phone with agencies, organizations, and local leaders all morning. Many have been completely cut off from federal money. As I continue to try to get answers, I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have devastating impacts for El Paso.

While MAGA and the Trump zealots cheer on the quickly escalating trade war between the U.S. and Colombia, here’s why Americans are the real victims of all this foolishness and bluster. And how did we get here in less than one week of the new administration?🧵
