Department of People Who Work for a Living. Providing accountability for Elon and the anti-worker DOGE.
Joined February 2025
If billionaires can make up illegal policies for fake departments, then workers can tell the truth. Our new report exposes what the DOGE agenda is doing to the people who make this country work. Read it. Get mad. Take action.

Hey @BrendanCarrFCC, this you? You used to claim to stand up for free speech, but now, you’re pressuring giant corporations to muzzle their workers’ free speech when it’s something that Trump doesn’t like.

Jocelyn’s concerns for her daughter’s health is unfortunately too common with cuts coming soon to Medicaid in President Trump’s big, ugly bill. Nobody should have to choose between paying the bills and the medication that keeps them healthy.

The Department of Labor is supposed to safeguard our workplace rights. But many of the department’s workers have left or been forced out from DOGE’s threats to federal workers. An understaffed and overstretched Department of Labor hurts ALL workers.

Federal workers make our essential services run every day: Medicaid, the VA, Social Security and more. If the Trump admin guts their collective bargaining rights, there’s no telling where they’ll stop. An attack on any union rights is an attack on ALL workers’ union rights.
Federal workers are our neighbors, friends and family. They help make the essential services we all rely on run every day. If the Trump admin tries to rip up federal workers’ union contracts, they’ll try to do the same to ALL union contracts. America’s unions are fighting back.

The Trump administration’s March executive order launched the largest act of union-busting in history, stripping nearly 1 million federal workers of their union rights. Call your senators NOW and tell them to cosponsor the Protect America’s Workforce Act! https://t.co/1atEo5xXWn

The $50 billion would not be needed if the big, ugly bill didn’t make cuts to Medicaid in the first place! They created a catastrophic problem, put a Band-Aid on it and pretended to solve it.
Health care in rural America is collapsing. Communities are losing their lifelines and being forced to drive for hours for care. Thanks to @POTUS and the One Big Beautiful Bill, we're able to change that with the Rural Health Transformation Program. With $50 billion, we're giving

Spending more than ever on IT contracts doesn’t sound like DOGE is getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse—they’re creating more of it. Working people are footing the bill for DOGE to make their big tech and Silicon Valley friends even richer.

The big, ugly bill’s cuts to Medicaid are hurting kids across the country. As a Phoenix hospital leader said: “[Medicaid cuts] cannot be achieved without directly affecting coverage and care for Arizona’s kids, especially the most vulnerable among them.”

The GOP said its overhaul of Medicaid was aimed at reducing fraud and getting more adult beneficiaries to work. Among the likely side effects: fewer services and doctors for treating sick children.

Elon Musk stopped a bill earlier this year that would authorize new therapies and medical treatments for kids with cancer from being passed in a budget bill. Now, the bill is stuck in Congress. Any delay puts kids’ lives at risk—and that’s on Elon.

Sometimes, a good piece of legislation fails to become a law for one simple, stupid reason: congressional inertia.

Cutting health care and food assistance for millions of working people to give the rich more tax breaks is NOT putting “American workers first”—it’s putting greedy corporations and billionaires first and working families last.
We have ONE goal—to put the hardworking men and women of our nation FIRST 🇺🇸

The Trump admin, who claims to be obsessed with getting rid of government waste, fraud and abuse, is shutting down the IRS crackdown on waste, fraud and abuse. This is a government by and for the billionaires and corporations, not working people.

Today’s jobs report told everyone what they already knew: the Trump administration’s economic policies are hurting working families across the country and making the rich even richer.
Today’s jobs report shows the Trump admin’s policies are slowing job creation, increasing unemployment and disproportionately harming Black workers. America’s unions will keep fighting for all workers to have the freedom, fairness and security they need. https://t.co/G14lG3H2KN
