Proud to join my friend Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth in introducing the Help FEDS Act. This legislation would ensure that if Republicans shut down the government, our civil servants - in Maryland and across the country - have financial support.

The Trump Admin's policies have devastated the federal workforce, & Vought seeks to use the possible shutdown to further traumatize & villainize their service.

I joined @elfreth.house.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov to ensure federal workers have the support they need during a shutdown.

Just days after Labor Day, Republicans are pushing to rubber‑stamp Trump’s plan to scrap union protectionsβ€”all in the name of β€˜national security.’ It’s nothing but a hoax and an attack on working people.

I stand with Congressman Pocan’s amendment to save federal workers’ right to organize.

Federal employees work for the American people - not one single president's agenda.

From the VA to the Social Security office, the Trump Administration should spend less time harassing these patriots.

House Republicans continue to neglect our constitutional duty to the American people: to fund the federal government and to conduct meaningful oversight of that spending. As Vice Chair of the Labor Caucus, I won’t stand by while President Trump and Vice President Musk target federal workers.

Federal workers keep our country running and provide critical services that Americans rely on.

We're excited to announce our endorsement of eight bills led by Labor Caucus Members to protect federal workers from the unprecedented attacks of the Trump Administration.

I thank @lynch.house.gov for convening colleagues and allies to discuss how we can combat the Trump Admin's attacks on federal employees.

I will always stand with federal employees and against the continued efforts to demean and vilify their service to the American people.

IRS workforce cuts raise concerns during tax season The Trump administration says staff reductions at the IRS will not impact taxpayer services, but employees say otherwise.

"When you're trying to balance a budget or you're trying to address a deficit, what you don't want to do is cut the people who are collecting the funds to help you do that," said National President Doreen Greenwald about the mass firings at the IRS. www.wlwt.com/article/irs-...
