It was a pleasure to spend time with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney last week in Toronto. In a rapidly changing world, the longstanding partnership between our two countries remains essential. At home and abroad, there is no going back to old ways - nor should we try - but as neighbors and friends we should work together to shape a better future.

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

The House budget would slash, Medicaid, SNAP, & child care from millions, to give billionaires massive tax breaks. @RepCiscomani, you committed to opposing these cuts. Pls VOTE NO on the reconciliation bill. #FamiliesOverBillionaires #MomsForMedicaid

👇 Brilliant. When univs deny, deflect, & delay good faith negotiations, they are following a Trumpian managerial approach. Kudos to @WOAWUAW for naming it. @HigherEdLabor @ProfTWolf @brandon

👇Kudos to @WOAWUAW for what they have put on the table. Child care benefit. Wellesley's management, of a women's college said no to child care. Workers can imagine & are bargaining a better Wellesley. @UAW @HigherEdLabor Management's recalcitrance is driving this strike.
Wellesley admin asked @WOAWUAW to end the strike and focus on bargaining. The fact is that the union has been ready to bargain every single day at any time and it’s been the College that has refused to meet beyond two hours this week. Wellesley can make this right tomorrow!

👇Truth. As I indicated to @adriennelu of the Chronicle, this morning, Wellesley seems to be digging in. IF they cared abt their students they wld negotiate in good faith to improve faculty's working conditions, which r students' learning conditions. @WOAWUAW @HigherEdLabor

👇Truth. All organizing is about respect. It's about roses, not just bread. Respect your workers, Wellesley. @WOAWUAW @HigherEdLabor IF Wellesley actually cares about their students, management will bargain in good faith for a good contract.
UAW President Shawn Fain joined non-tenure track faculty on the Wellesley Organized Academic Workers picket line at Wellesley College in MA. “The fight is the same," Fain said. "It may be a different business, but it’s about having dignity on the job.” thewellesleynews.com/21124/n…

👇Students standing w/ faculty, b/c faculty working conditions are students' learning conditions. @WOAWUAW Smart coalitional work by academic workers at a wealthy women's college that refuses a union proposal to provide some child care benefit to employees. 💪 @HigherEdLabor
"As Wellesley College’s non-tenure track faculty strike entered its fifth day Monday, students and faculty gathered near the town’s Central Street, holding signs in support of @WOAWUAW." @UAWRegion9A dailyfreepress.com/2025/04/0…

👇 HaHaHa. Save your platitudes about supporting essential govt services. Your admin has launched a war against medicare, social security, special ed, the VA, the FAA, & much more, & you voted for a budget that slashes essential services. All for tax cuts for the rich.
See my statement on today's CR vote⬇️

👇 Just 🛑 @RepCiscomani You know that over 85% of fentanyl coming into the U.S. is trafficked by U.S. citizens at legal ports of entry. This admin is failing to address this problem in a smart way. It & you seem to prefer photo ops & chest beating. @SenRubenGallego @kenmart
🚨 . @RepCiscomani @JuanCiscomani warns the cartel threat is growing, and border agents caution: “It’s going to get worse before it gets better.” Is the U.S. ready?

👇 Truth. And you @RepCiscomani given your committee assignment should be fighting these massive layoffs of vets & cuts to the Veterans Administration.
This is an anti veteran administration

👇 Exactly. Trump has tanked the stock market, contributed to soaring prices, destroyed consumer confidence, & caused increased unemployment. So, he does an ad on the White House lawn for the richest man in the world. Rigged for the rich. And the swamp on steroids. @kenmar
Groceries prices are still soaring the stock market is in shambles but don’t worry Elon sold a Tesla and Trump got a crappy new EV.

👇 Thank you @SenMarkKelly for standing for freedom & against tyranny, abroad & at home. @kenmartin73
Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

👇 Hey @RepCiscomani Show some respect for our constitution, for your constituents, & for freedom vs autocracy.
