Those who attack public education fear an educated public. Every child deserves a great education.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…”
This was never about efficiency.

77% of the American people want to cap credit card interest rates. It is about time that we listened to them.
Congress must provide financial relief to working families struggling to pay for the high price of groceries, rent, gasoline, and prescription drugs.

I want to connect some dots for you.
What is similar about the four agencies DOGE targeted first? They all intersect with major business interests of Musk and Trump's billionaire cabal. DOGE isn't about government efficiency. It's about making the billionaires richer.

It’s been seven years since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
It was a day of unimaginable loss for 17 families, an entire community, and our nation. My heart aches for Parkland, and I’ll always stand with the brave students who emerged from it in the fight to end gun violence.

Since Trump took office, life has only gotten more expensive for working class people.
Here’s an idea: How about Trump fulfills his campaign promise and caps credit card interest rates at 10% for every American.
I have the legislation to do just that.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy.
In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

President Trump just fired:
• 90 physicians
• 350 nurses
• at least 25 nurse practitioners
• nearly 20 dentists
• 85+ pharmacists
• 45 lab techs
All employed by the Indian Health Service to provide health care. This is going to have dangerous consequences for our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

Alright, you want to talk about “low income kids”?
Texas under Abbott:
- Highest percentage of uninsured children in the United States
- Ranks 48th in overall child health
- Leads nation in mass shootings
- Your 2021 statewide power outage killed hundreds of Texans including “low income kids”
- After your abortion ban, infant deaths up 12.9%
And now you want to defund the public schools that these kids depend on and raise everyone’s property taxes!

Privatizing public education will create an increasingly segregated school system in America – not just based on race, but by class.
We must not have a two-tier educational system: Private schools for the wealthy, and public schools for low-income and working-class students.

The owner of Space X should not be overseeing anything regarding NASA.
It’s a severe conflict of interest.

Legislators are attempting to jam through a partisan bill that guts vote by mail and makes it harder to vote.
I offered common sense compromises to count votes faster, and they were rejected. I refuse to let extremists make it harder for Arizonans to vote.

McMahon goes on record saying private schools funded by taxpayer vouchers—including a federal voucher scheme—do and should have the right to turn children away if those children don’t fit those private schools’ needs.
It’s not parent choice. It’s the school’s choice.

Gov @GregAbbott_TX is losing the voucher fight.
He’s getting desperate, debating lege staffers about crowd size.
Admitting #txed will lose funding.
#txlege House members getting an earful from their folks.
A freshman R told us today he is opposed.
Keep calling! It’s working!
