The Trump Administration ignored concerns when it relocated USDA employees in 2019. Now the Administration wants to shake up the USDA again, while families and farmers are grappling with Trump's funding freeze. @bobbyscott.house.gov and @repbonamici.bsky.social want answers.

Had a good discussion with union members from USW District 8. Unions help guarantee that every worker can access fair pay, solid benefits, and most importantly, a safe place to work. We must keep fighting — for the sake of workers and their families, so they can live a dignified life.

The Trump administration’s attacks on students continue. Stripping away rules for teaching English learners isn’t just a policy shift — it’s an attack on equity in education. Every student, no matter their language, has a right to an equal education. t.co/RVoqTGD8g2

Education Dept. says it’ll pull funding from five Virginia districts over gender policies

The Trump administration's choice to put students of color and LGBTQ+ students on the back burner is a dangerous rollback of civil rights. Our mission must be to ensure *all* students have access to a quality education free from discrimination. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Under Trump, the Education Dept. has flipped its civil rights mission

The administration is prioritizing allegations that transgender students and students of color are getting unfair advantages while a backlog of other cases grows.
