The real divide right now is between the working class and the oligarchy that would rather exploit us for profit than make sure folks get the resources they need.

Solidarity is the most powerful tool we have in the face of authoritarianism.
It's on all of us to stand with each other, stand up for each other, and refuse to accept the fear and division the White House is trying to exploit and use against us.

It's hypocritical that Republicans are holding hearings about strengthening students' skills while they allow the Trump admin to dismantle the Dept. of Education—the sole agency tasked with expanding these same students' opportunities.
And it's always marginalized students who suffer the most.

The Department of Justice has dropped a number of criminal charges against corporations that are Trump donors.
I demanded answers from the DOJ on this failure and potential corruption. No one is above the law, regardless of how many resources or how much money they have.

Today, Education and Workforce Committee Republicans are moving forward with anti-worker bills with deceptive names that would give more handouts to corporations and embolden companies to exploit underpaid employees.
I will be voting against advancing them all. Our people deserve better.

Political violence is on the rise and the president is calling for the death of Members of Congress.
This is the same person who has already incited a violent insurrection on the Capitol because of his rhetoric and lies. We cannot accept or normalize this.

Workers deserve protection from coercive employment practices that trap them in jobs & force them into debt so corporations can line their pockets.
@markey.senate.gov and I wrote to multiple federal agencies to demand answers on what they're doing to protect workers & combat stay-or-pay agreements.

After a record-breaking government shutdown that they caused, Trump & Republicans want to spend time micromanaging DC instead of representing their constituents.
If Trump wanted to run DC, he should resign & run for mayor.
I testified in the House Rules Committee to make it clear: hands off DC.

Corruption. Human rights abuses. Butchering an American journalist.
There are so many things wrong with inviting MBS to the White House, let alone selling him weapons and throwing parties. Looks like the billions invested from Saudi’s Public Investment Fund into the Trumps bought them a president.

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
The de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of a Washington Post columnist. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are nearing a high point.

Secretary McMahon admitted herself that only Congress could dismantle the department. The admin knows this will devastate students and teachers, but they don't care.

When we invest in water, we invest in the health & safety of our neighbors & communities. This is an important step in making sure folks have equitable access to clean water.
