87 million students and parents receive federal student aid to help pay for college.
House Republicans "wreckonciliation" bill would starve the Education Department and eliminate some assistance for higher education.

Working families should not pay for another round of Trump tax breaks for billionaires & large corporations, but that's what Republicans are proposing.
I introduced an amendment to protect tax dollars & vital lifelines like Medicare, Social Security and other support millions of Americans rely on.
House Republicans are proposing to deny three million Texas children access to Epi-Pens, inhalers, immunizations, and a pediatrician.
Why?
So, they can gift trillions in tax breaks to Trump's billionaire buddies.
Trump had more than a ‘concept of a plan’ for health care. He’s cutting scientific research, denying hope of a cure for millions suffering from cancer, Alzheimer’s & other diseases.
Meanwhile, GOP enablers are repealing safe nursing home staffing standards so wealthy owners can cut care & support.
In Austin, Medicaid covers half of all children who receive care at Dell Children's Hospital and half of all births.
House Republicans' "wreckonciliation" economic plan rips away health care access for these children and mothers.
@housebudgetdems.bsky.social will keep fighting for affordable care.
Since Trump declared his intent to pal with Putin, he seems set to engage in the greatest act of appeasement on Ukraine since Neville Chamberlain abandoned Czechoslovakia in 1938.
The GOP will be forever stained as the party that lost Ukraine.
Trump said on day one, you'd see some "pretty drastic price reductions."
Nope.
And House GOP "wreckonciliation" economic plan does nothing to lower prices for families either, but it does pay for a $4.5 trillion tax bonus to billionaires.
House Republicans are yielding to Trump's demands for trillions in new tax breaks for his billionaire buddies.
Instead of fulfilling false promises to lower prices for families, the GOP budget “wreckonciliation” is an economic plan that cuts support Americans rely on but not grocery or drug prices.
Elon Musk and his DOGE Musketeers must come before Congress to explain themselves.
I'm all for saving taxpayer money, but it makes no sense why the world's richest man needed to obtain Americans' most sensitive information and records at the Treasury Department.
We need answers. Now.
With Trump giving Musk access to confidential info on every American, I led every @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social Democrat in demanding Congress receive within 14 days all documents and materials related to their intrusion.
We must protect privacy, demand accountability, and shine a light on DOGE.

14 days.
All Ways and Means Democrats, led by @doggett.house.gov, put the Trump-Musk Administration on notice and gave them 14 days to hand over all information on DOGE's unlawful access to Treasury's payment systems.
We won't stop fighting. democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...
Big Pharma spiked prices on hundreds of critical meds this year, despite Trump’s promise to bring prices down.
His response: pal around w/Big Pharma executives, fire consumer watchdogs responsible for rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse, and seek more tax breaks for pharma companies & execs.
UT scholars rightly argue that shutting down USAID makes Americans less safe. A bird flu outbreak in the US is already increasing the price of eggs—and USAID monitors bird flu in 49 countries.
Trump and Musk are unlawfully destroying an agency that protects Americans’ health, wealth, and security.
Working families, retirees, and veterans are contacting me—alarmed about their SSN, health care and tax data, and more accessed by Musk and his Musketeers.
DOGE, better labeled DODGE, must not be allowed to escape congressional and judicial oversight.
Trump is executing a widescale siege on health care.
Research funding cuts, disappearing public health data, and now a bill to cut health care for children, people with disabilities, and low-income seniors. All to improve the health of his billionaire buddies’ offshore bank accounts.
Though Trump claimed his immigrant roundups are targeting violent criminals, less than half of about 8,200 arrestees (1/20-2/2) have criminal convictions, according to government data obtained by ProPublica and Texas Tribune.
Celebrated the life of our friend Cecile Richards.
Her timely message: When our country was endangered, what did you do? Everything I could.
Musk's DOGE, better named "Dodge," for dodging the law, accountability and Congress, threatens to wreck vital support American families and businesses depend on.
I spoke against the unlawful Trump/Musk scheme to invade your privacy by accessing SSN, health care records, tax data and more.
While Trump seeks to undermine public education, Gov. Abbott is defunding and destabilizing Texas public schools.
Abbott's voucher scheme will serve less than 2% of our 5.5 million Texas public school children. $1 billion in taxpayer dollars wasted on a plan that fast-tracks mediocrity.
Saluting Aurora, Kevin& Serena, Vandegrift HS sophomores advocating to maintain the International Baccalaureate diploma program, which is valuable for so many students.
I commend their advocacy & hope the Leander School Board can find a way in these difficult budget times to maintain the program.
