Abolishing independent agencies for partisan political aims is a big mistake. Consumers and kids will get hurt.

The Acting Chair’s delay on the Button Batteries Final Rule doesn’t just endanger children, it disrespects the parents and advocates who fought to make it happen.

Real leaders listen to the needs of those they serve. @cpsc.gov
does this during our annual priorities hearing. Why did the CPSC’s acting chair cancel it for the second time?

Thank you to @trumkacpsc.bsky.social, @hoehnsariccpsc.bsky.social, and Mary Boyle, the Consumer Product Safety Commissioners who were illegally fired, for speaking out against the dismantling of this lifesaving agency.

First, @cpsc.gov Commissioners Hoehn-Saric, Trumka, and Boyle were unlawfully fired. Now, their X accounts have been deleted.

Product safety should save lives. Not play politics. Not hide the truth. @consumerfed.bsky.social

Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. @trumkacpsc.bsky.social · May 19

They deleted my X account for speaking out against the illegal firings and for telling the truth about what’s happening inside of government. If they can censor me, they can censor you too. Follow @RichTrumkaJr on X and @Trumkacpsc everywhere else.

We were created to keep the public safe. Now, the 2 Commissioners left at @cpsc.gov are doing the exact opposite.

Today SHOULD have been our priorities hearing—the day when YOU get to tell us what we should be focusing on as an agency. Instead, shortly after we were illegally fired, that hearing was canceled. Silencing the public’s voice in the government is an attack we cannot take lying down.

It’s only been a day since @cpsc.gov advanced a solution to address e-bike battery fires. If you own one of these bikes, learn how to get a replacement at cpsc.gov/recalls.
