Sundays are a day for reflection. I'm honored to have joined @alsobrooks.senate.gov, @booker.senate.gov, & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social today to reflect on the moral moment we're in with the Republican budget that wrongly values billionaires and corporations over students and families.

Michigan is protesting. A LOT.
Medicaid cuts.Voter suppression. Solidarity with our allies. Attacks on the postal service.
We’re on overpasses, in town halls, on the street—every week.
But the media? Pretending it’s not happening.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities.
Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws.

It’s called checks and balances bitch.
They are fundamental to our democracy. Federal judges are upholding their constitutional duty by scrutinizing Elon Musk’s attempts to unilaterally reshape our government. No individual should have unchecked power. This is how our system prevents overreach.
