Democrats in both chambers of Congress are railing against executive actions from the Trump administration that target social programs such as Social Security and Medicaid.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) — who has been under scrutiny for his decision last month to advance a GOP-backed continuing resolution to keep the government open — will pair up with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) to speak out against mass layoffs, including at the Social Security Administration, and President Trump's sweeping agenda.
Schumer's remarks are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT.
Later Tuesday, the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) are also expected to speak against administration moves to cut the federal workforce and reduce federal spending. The events will be held at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. EDT, respectively.
