Not HHS, but a health partner. At USDA, we've heard as much as 25% of the workforce left after two rounds of deferred resignation programs. So many that they're now trying to ask some back or hire to fill critical roles. 🙃

Someone tried to burn down the Pennsylvania governor’s residence this weekend while his family was inside. There’s no excuse — ever — for political violence. We condemn it unequivocally. And more leaders across the board need to say the same.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

No matter how much Musk lies about it, this is a PEACEFUL protest movement—as yesterday's gatherings perfectly demonstrated.

Hands Off! Speak out on Saturday.
Social Security is not charity or some giveaway. It's money people earned through years of hard work.
Now, Trump and Musk want to rip that away to fund tax handouts for their billionaire buddies.
So here's my message for them: get your hands off our Social Security.

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.
Every single Republican blocked it.
Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please SHARE!
