Here we go again. As Republicans in Congress focus on gutting critical government services to fund another round of tax cuts for the billionaire class, they’re leading the nation headlong into another Republican Shutdown.
With five weeks until government funding expires, House Rs are starting to stress a shutdown. “The clock is ticking and running away from us right now,” Rep. Steve Womack said.

“Tariff threats, stock market swings and rapidly reversing executive orders are causing Americans across the political spectrum to feel considerably more pessimistic about the economy than they did before President Trump took office.” Stable, competent governance matters.

“Private-sector employers and nonprofits are starting to lay off workers as a result of the Trump administration’s sweeping cuts and funding freezes, unleashing a wave of job losses that economists say could pick up steam in the coming weeks”

Democrats are taking action on every front to fight back against Trump’s lawless attacks on our democracy. From introducing legislation to protect Americans from Trump and Elon Musk’s schemes, to holding the Administration accountable in the courts, and mobilizing to defend our values – we’re not backing down. @HouseDemocrats are leading the fight. Together, we’ll ensure that Trump’s chaos is met with collective opposition.

Yesterday, I joined more than 150 @HouseDemocrats in demanding answers from Treasury Secretary Bessent on Elon Musk’s unprecedented access to Americans’ private data and Treasury’s payment system. More here:

Having defeated @RepDwightEvans’ @Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, I’m eager to get another taste of Philly’s finest #Chiefsteaks after the @Chiefs #RunItBack on Sunday. But I'm feeling greedy, so why don’t we expand this year's wager? What say you @RepDavids, @CongBoyle, & @RepMGS?

Americans should not have to worry about their personal information being handed over to an unelected, unaccountable billionaire with numerous conflicts of interest. But President Trump and Congressional Republicans have handed power over to Elon Musk. It's dangerous and must be stopped before a calamity occurs.

While Donald Trump tries to bully our allies, straining critical relationships that are essential to defending freedom and democracy globally, dictators around the world are cheering him on.

Allowing an unelected billionaire and his teenage lackeys to illegally seize the federal government, access Americans’ personal information, and defund federal agencies is not about efficiency—it’s about unilaterally usurping power from the people. When will the GOP stand up?
NEW: Officials across the US government are privately warning that Musk's DOGE blitz appears to be violating numerous federal laws Legal objections voiced at Treasury, Education, USAID, GSA, OPM, EEOC, OMB & elsewhere Messages, audio, interviews all reveal internal concerns Laws on budget, privacy, security, classification & more said by U.S. officials to be strained if not broken

First they came for USAID. Now they’re going after Public Education. What’s next? Medicare and Social Security? Veterans benefits and nutrition programs? @HouseDemocrats will not stand for these unconstitutional efforts to defund congressionally created federal agencies.
BREAKING: The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans tell @NBCNews.

In 1961, the #FreedomRiders boarded buses to the Deep South to challenge segregation. They faced mob violence, arrests, and firebombings—but they never backed down. As we honor their bravery, I’m proud to support @RepHankJohnson’s bill to award them the Congressional Gold Medal.
