The idea that the federal government is unilaterally controlling education is ludicrous. The Department of Education is the smallest cabinet level agency, providing less than 8% of funding for K-12 schools.

Republicans want to brag about funding the government but what good is funding when there's no one left at these departments to provide services? Republicans won't get my vote on government funding until they take REAL steps to improve government. They can start by firing Elon Musk.
Republicans can’t brag about how good their government funding bill is when Donald Trump has shown he’s willing to break the law to ignore it and Republicans have shown they won’t speak out when he does.
I welcome the news that the Trump Admin will lift its pause on intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine. However, we cannot use Ukraine’s future as leverage in negotiations when innocent lives and democracy are at stake.
There's no room for business as usual when the President is dismantling the federal government. I won't support a CR unless the administration stops gutting federal services and starts taking genuine steps to improve government efficiency.
That starts with firing Elon Musk and ending DOGE.
No one should be afraid to attend school or church. That’s why I’m a proud cosponsor of the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, which would codify the humane policy the U.S. had for years keeping ICE agents out of places like schools, hospitals, & places of worship.
On International Women’s Day, I recommit to fighting for all women and girls across the globe.
All women, regardless of birthplace or nationality, deserve a world where they can thrive.
Every decision Putin made led to this brutal war, but the responsibility to end it falls on the entire free world. We must work toward a just and lasting peace in Ukraine and defeat a ruthless dictator.
There are over 100 court cases against the administration. Judges on both sides of the aisle have sided against Trump's chaos and corruption. Alarmingly, JD Vance floated trial balloons for defying judicial orders. Let me be clear: That is a threat to our Constitution and our democracy.
Dismantling the Department of Education will not "send education back to the states". It will destroy an agency responsible for funding research that improves the state of education nationwide.
The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds. After revoking protective status for other refugees, Trump's targeting 240k Ukrainians now. In case the president forgot, they are fleeing Putin's brutal invasion. And he's only made Ukraine and the world less safe in the past week.
Putin’s grip on power is built upon violence and lies. No amount of appeasement can change that. The world is looking to the U.S. for leadership. The decisions we make for Ukraine will reverberate for generations. We must choose to stand for democracy - not bow to autocracy.
We're just getting started with tonight's virtual town hall. Join now at buff.ly/Nam5XbA
I'm going live in 5 minutes to answer your questions and address some of the week's top news stories. You can watch at buff.ly/Dsum4xo. If you're not available tonight, you can watch a replay on YouTube later.
Trump says he wants transparency, but his actions betray his true intentions. He has fired government watchdogs, barred press that he doesn't find friendly from the White House, and stripped information that he doesn't like from federal websites. He doesn't want transparency, he wants subordination.
Trump says he's lowering costs for American families, but he's targeting the programs that working families rely on most. Just last week, House Republicans voted to cut Medicaid health plans and SNAP food benefits. This is straight out of Project 2025.
I’m proud of Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city. Our city and the state of Illinois are committed to using law enforcement resources to combat crime, while also ensuring state authorities can help federal law enforcement arrest violent criminals.
Putin’s war against Ukraine isn’t just an attack on one nation's sovereignty - it’s an attack on democracy itself. Now is the time to stand up against autocracy, return the thousands of Ukrainian children stolen, and hold Putin accountable for his war crimes.
release all remaining hostages, deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, and lay the groundwork for a two-state solution. Anything less will be a disservice to the Israeli and Palestinian people.
October 7th was a day of unspeakable tragedy that left deep scars on the Israeli people. The war that ensued has devastated the Palestinian people in Gaza. The only way to ensure a lasting peace is to enter the second phase of the ceasefire deal,
