Responding to the Trump Administration's Actions

Throughout the start of his administration, President Trump has repeatedly and recklessly overstepped executive power in a manner I believe is both illegal and unconstitutional. His executive orders and actions are clear violations of the U.S. Constitution, and I’m fiercely committed to pushing back against these abuses at every level—in the courts, in Congress, and in our neighborhoods. 

Recently, Republicans in Congress passed President Trump’s cruel and harmful budget bill, which jeopardizes healthcare for 15 million Americans, slashes food assistance for nearly 3 million Americans, and adds $3.4 trillion to the national deficit—all to fund tax breaks for Donald Trump’s billionaire friends. While the timelines for the full impact of this legislation on our community remain uncertain, my team and I are closely monitoring each development and working with local partners to assess potential effects. As we learn more, we will keep our constituents informed every step of the way. 

Our community is rightfully scared, confused, and mobilized by President Trump’s chaotic actions. If you would like to share how these actions are affecting you, your business, or your organization, please fill out the form at the link below. Your stories strengthen our fight and help guide our actions.  

Concerned about Trump’s Executive Orders? Share Your Story

As your Representative, I am standing shoulder to shoulder with courageous Americans to support ongoing legal challenges in federal court to adjudicate and strike down these unconstitutional actions. In Washington, I am working tirelessly with my colleagues to develop legislative and policy solutions to restore balance, protect our most vulnerable, and hold the administration accountable. 

Beyond legislative efforts, I remain in constant contact with local agencies, community leaders, and organizations affected by these harmful policies. My office is working side by side with these groups to develop strategies to protect critical services and ensure our community does not bear the brunt of this federal overreach. 

Read on to learn about the strategic actions I am taking to fight back.

Litigation and Legislation

Bills I’ve cosponsored: 10

Letters I’ve signed: 19

Lawsuits filed by partner organizations: 160+

I am working closely with House Democratic leadership to support outside partner organizations in strategically filing lawsuits against the Trump Administration’s illegal and unconstitutional actions.

Although Democrats in Congress are in the minority and don’t have the ability to directly file lawsuits and issue subpoenas, we are actively collecting information and data—including the impacts of the Administration’s actions on constituents, nonprofits, local governments, and federal agencies—and coordinating with our partner organizations on a litigation strategy against the Trump Administration.

You can stay up to date on the status of key lawsuits filed against the Trump Administration’s actions through this tracker from the Washington Post.
