Inflation is up. Unemployment is up. Yet, Republicans are advocating for a series of bills that tilt the scales further in favor of corporate interests at the expense of workers. 📺WATCH Democrats advocate on behalf of workers and their families. www.youtube.com/live/rkC88to...

This one-time allocation will also likely not offset the funding shortfall HBCUs can expect as a result of the Republicans’ "Big Ugly Law" which cuts Parent PLUS loans, Graduate PLUS loans, and Pell Grants. Read my full statement here ⤵️

Historically Black Colleges and Universities are chronically underfunded and under-resourced. While I appreciate any influx of funding to HBCUs, it should not come at the expense of funding Minority Serving Institutions, which also need this funding. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Trump administration boosts HBCU funding after cutting grants for Hispanic-serving colleges

The fund amounts to a one-time federal boost of 48% for HBCUs, and it more than doubles funding for tribal colleges and universities, the Education Department said.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, and Representative Walkinshaw condemning political violence:

“The rise in political violence—which has inflicted tragedy upon the families of Republican activist Charlie Kirk and Minnesota’s House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, and her husband Mark, and many other Americans on both sides of the aisle—is disturbing and unacceptable. We are unified in our condemnation of these attacks. It is critical to the safety of all Americans and the health of our democracy that we are able to approach our political differences with respect and without resorting to violence.”

September 11, 2001 is a day that we will never forget. We remember the lives lost, and we honor the heroism of the first responders.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is reprehensible. Political violence is never acceptable or justified under any circumstances.

Civil rights protections should be used as a shield against discrimination, not a sword to cut down others' rights. Instead of strengthening civil rights enforcement, the Trump Administration uses it as a sword to undermine institutions' independence. www.youtube.com/live/Wj7Zay2...
