@senbillferg.bsky.social Pass the MD Values Act (#HB1222). It’s the right thing to do. The House has done its part. Now is the time to act.

“This is why Democrats in the House and across the country, we can’t be and we are not the minority party — we must be the opposition in this moment. And then in less than two years, we will become the majority.” - Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social at the DC #handsoff event

We know the big, blue cities are turning out for #HandsOff Let’s lift up those showing up & showing out in red states like this rowdy crowd in Indianapolis, Indiana 🔥 VC Brian Daniels on IG

SCOTUS unanimously reverses the fifth circuit on flavored e-cigs - saying the FDA’s denial was not arbitrary and capricious (When you’ve lost Alito and Thomas ….) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

🆕: Groundwork and partners released a report exposing the shady practices corporations use to surveil consumers, hike prices, and cheat workers out of a fair wage, while giving lawmakers a framework to act and ban these unfair practices. Read the full report: towardsjustice.org/wp-content/u...

“Both surveillance pricing and surveillance wages really disrupt fundamental ideals of fairness,” said @veenadubal.bsky.social. Read more on why some states are considering bans on the exploitative practice of surveillance pricing @washingtonpost.com: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

To all those receiving layoff notices from the Trump-Musk Admin, know that we stand with you and are working with our legal partners and in Congress to fight back and right these wrongs. If you want to report what you're seeing or experiencing, you can share your story here:

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

This is what happens when you let a bunch of inexperienced hacks tear down vital government agencies and services. This is not a game. Elon Musk and the DOGE boys are playing with people’s lives and our national security, and we need to shut them down.

Included in Trump and Musk's mass layoffs were hundreds of FAA employees who keep U.S. air travelers safe. Apparently Trump and Musk are missing what’s obvious to the American people: we need to do MORE to improve our air safety right now — not less.

Check out these 10 principles for benefits programs to enable greater economic senior security and mobility for workers @CLJEHarvard. #portablebenefits #laborstandards #benefitsprograms

This is completely illegal. The reason it is being permitted is that the press refuses to say it is illegal, only describing it as contested.

Every committee in Congress should hold urgent hearings on Musk's illegal takeover of the federal government. He is causing real harm to the American people. I've been demanding hearings in the committees I sit on — the Republicans in charge need to DO THEIR JOBS.

Make no mistake: Their endgame is to give billionaires control of the government so they can then turn around and deliver a massive tax cut for the ultra-wealthy. There can be no "business as usual" in the U.S. Congress. We must fight this assault on working people.

Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service. Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:

“We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” Thank you @raskin.house.gov

App corporations classify their workers as ICs to deny them real benefits -- Social security, health insurance, unemployment insurance, paid time off. Now they are offering workers savings accounts and calling them "portable benefits."
