Taxpayer Data Protection Act
House Republicans have let Elon Musk rifle through the highly sensitive records of all Americans—a dangerous invasion of privacy.
House Democrats are fighting back with the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to protect the sensitive information of the American public and essential benefits like Social Security and Medicare.

Resources for Federal Workers
President Donald Trump and unelected advisors like Elon Musk have taken aggressive actions to attack the federal workforce. Click below for more information about resources available to you as a federal worker.
Protecting Reproductive Rights
For nearly 50 years, Roe v. Wade protected women's reproductive health care decisions. In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned this right, driven by the extreme MAGA Republican agenda to outlaw contraception, impose a nationwide abortion ban, and penalize women and doctors.
Lowering Costs
House Democrats are continuing to put people over politics by lowering costs, creating better-paying jobs and fighting for safer communities.
Building a Better America
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the largest single federal investment in infrastructure in the history of the Republic.
The law will rebuild the roads, bridges and rails of America. It will expand access to clean drinking water and high-speed internet. Additionally, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will advance environmental justice and tackle the climate crisis. It will also ease inflationary pressures, strengthen supply chains and create good-paying union jobs. Overall, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will grow the economy sustainably and equitably for all Americans in every single zip code.
Making Safer Communities
In New York City, the guns used to commit crime are not initially purchased or manufactured here. They come up the Iron Pipeline, right up I-95, and these weapons of death make their way into our communities. Last year, for the first time in over 30 years, Democrats acted and passed gun safety legislation into law. This legislation made gun trafficking a federal crime for the first time in American history.
But more needs to be done. Our schools have become killing fields. It is time for Congress to put kids over guns.
Putting Money in Your Pocket
House Democrats have been working hard to put money in your pockets.
House Democrats will always defend Social Security and Medicare. We will not let anyone take the benefits you have worked hard and paid for away. Not now, not ever.
