Tuesday night, I joined a group of my fellow lawmakers and walked out of Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress.

What’s happening in Washington is alarming. We shouldn’t act like this is normal.

As the Ranking Member of the DOGE subcommittee, I’ve witnessed firsthand the havoc wreaked by Donald Trump and Elon Musk on the very foundation of how our government functions.

When I and nearly two dozen other members of the House Oversight Committee were denied entry into the Treasury Department after we tried to investigate what Elon Musk was doing with the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans, I was terrified for the future of our democracy.

When the President allows an unelected billionaire to dismantle critical federal agencies and government programs, it’s up to every single one of us to stand up and fight back.

Forward Majority and I refuse to stand by — it’s time to fight back.

I have hope that we can defend our democracy — but it’s going to take all of us coming together to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk from dismantling our government from the inside out. Rush a gift today to stand with Forward Majority and me in this fight »

OTHER AMOUNT

I know that watching the news can feel like a burden. But Donald Trump and Elon Musk are counting on you to tune out.

They want to overwhelm us, and then carry out the rest of their plans with no resistance.

Forward Majority and I refuse to let that happen. I’ll fight Donald Trump and Elon Musk every step of the way — and I need you by my side. Will you join Forward Majority and me in this fight by splitting a gift of $10 or more today?
