Statement “Despite its deceptive name, the Working Families Flexibility Act would not offer real flexibility to working families and would instead rob employees of their right to be compensated fairly for extra time they work. This bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing – and working parents aren’t fooled. The legislation the House passed today is an anti-worker bill.

Statement “The tax proposal the Trump administration outlined today would be a disaster for the country. It rewards the wealthy and corporations while hurting moms, working families, and our economy. It would cut the corporate tax rate by 60 percent, losing $2.4 trillion over 10 years.

Statement “Leaders in Congress have managed to take a bad health care proposal and make it even worse in the U.S. House of Representatives measure that was leaked today. This is yet another heartless attempt to appease extreme members of the conservative right, without regard for what is best for mothers, families, and our economy.

Statement “President Trump’s threat to withhold the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) subsidies is nothing less than a threat to sabotage the health coverage that millions of families rely on for life-saving care.
“Withholding these payments would destabilize the insurance markets and cause the premiums that families pay to skyrocket. His threat is heartless and shows complete disregard for our children and families.

Statement “By invoking the nuclear option to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court without bipartisan support, U.S. Senate Republicans have moved our country in a dangerous direction, undermining our democratic institutions and imperiling the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, communities of color, immigrants and workers.

Statement “Stephen Bannon has a history of promoting anti-semitism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia and white supremacy - and has dedicated his life to dividing Americans. He was wholly unfit to serve on the National Security Council and his removal from the council makes us all safer. For months, moms across the country have spoken out against Bannon’s appointment to chief White House strategist and his position as a political appointee on the National Security Council - and today they applaud his removal from that post.

Statement “Today, the Maryland House of Delegates passed HB 1, the Healthy Working Families Act, a badly needed earned sick days bill that will increase financial security and provide peace of mind to working families across the state, and strengthen the state’s economy. The bill is now on its way to Governor Hogan’s desk and we urge him to rethink his opposition to this commonsense legislation and sign it into law immediately. The Maryland Healthy Working Families Act protects twice as many working people as the Governor's proposal and boosts families and the economy.
