Dems have won Va with a moderate, have won NJ with a liberal and NYC with a progressive- it’s all about fighting for working people to deal with the cost of living and a repudiation of the cruelty, cronyism and abuses of Trump, Trumpism
and his billionaire crew.

Republicans plan on cutting healthcare for Americans and laying off more government workers. If Dems were in power, they would not do that. They are not in power, but I am grateful they are fighting this every way they can. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

"Goldman Sachs economists estimate that U.S. consumers will end up paying 70% of tariffs’ direct costs."
This is a tax, folks, and American consumers are paying it! wsj.com/economy/inflation-hi…

So the Supreme Court said Biden couldn't cancel student loans without congress but Trump can dismantle the entire fucking Department of Education?

Gov. Kelly Ayotte has vetoed three favorite bills of social conservatives, to allow segregation by biological sex, to make it easier to censor material in public schools considered to be obscene and to compel parents to "opt in" for their children to take risk behavior surveys.

Today is a sad and harmful day for patients and health care across the country, and its impact will reverberate for years. This bill moves us in the wrong direction. It will make it harder to access care and make patients sicker because the lifelines of Medicaid and CHIP are severed. That is unacceptable. spr.ly/60154mR2T

Yesterday, Trump illegally cut off funding for public schools, precipitating a huge crisis for thousands of schools.
This is a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling neutering federal courts.
1/ A dystopian new reign of lawlessness is likely coming. Let me explain.
Breaking News: The Trump administration declined to release nearly $7 billion in school funding that helps pay for after-school programs and other services. nyti.ms/4lcKvlQ

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.

The NH Supreme Court issued a huge ruling in the ConVal lawsuit, upholding the decision that the State’s base adequacy aid is unconstitutionally low and doesn't provide enough funding for schools to provide students with an adequate education. Read more: fairfundingnh.org/nh-supreme…
ALT A quote from NHSFFP Executive Director Zack Sheehan in response to the NH Supreme Court ruling in the ConVal lawsuit. The quote reads "This ruling is a massive win for our students, schools, and communities. It is long past time for the Legislature to stop making excuses and get to work fixing our school funding system."

It's inspiring to see students from DC, VA, and MD taking a stand today outside the Department of Education against the Trump administration’s attacks on their future. #HandsOffOurSchools

✍️6.6 million Pell Grant recipients rely on federal student aid to attend college. Trump’s dismantling of the Dept. of Ed. puts their funding at risk.
Don’t do that. 😡

Tomorrow, Trump and Musk plan to lay off half of the staff at the Department of Education. Their goal is to completely abolish it.
They are stealing from our children to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Stop firing people who serve our children. Fire Elon Musk.

Every time school vouchers are on the ballot, they’re rejected by voters.
💥 Colorado rejected enshrining vouchers in the state constitution.
💥 Nebraska decisively repealed the state's voucher program.
💥 Kentucky defeated vouchers by a 2 to 1 margin.

Leadership isn’t about being the biggest bully in the class—it’s about standing up to the biggest bullies in the class, protecting vulnerable people, and helping deliver results for the people of NH. House Dems couldn’t have made a better choice than @AlexisSimpsonNH #NHPolitics
