I helped pass the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015 and it forbids the federal government from setting curriculum. That's what state governments and local school boards do.

Donald Trump just threatened to take funding away from public schools that don't teach "patriotic education" (whatever that means) or don't get rid of "wokeness" (whatever that means).
We will do everything we can to push back against a funding freeze or cuts that would end or limit the essential services - like health care - that Oregonians need and pay for with their tax dollars.
I joined my colleague @repdexteror.bsky.social and Iris and Haven from Outside In to say that we will fight for our communities and for Oregon values every time Donald Trump threatens us.
This is a tragedy, and we grieve for the lives lost, but it is time for sorrow and investigation, not blame.

But our work is not done and neither is the chaos. In a confusing statement today the Trump team made clear that they are still planning to make the cuts. I'll keep fighting their harmful actions and ask you to keep speaking out too. You can contact me at Bonamici.house.gov or call 503-469-6010.
That's a win, and your voices made a difference.
Nonprofit advocates filed a lawsuit and so did the Democratic Attorneys General. Judges in both cases issued orders to stop the cuts (we still have checks and balances) and today the White House said they are withdrawing their memo outlining the funding they are targeting.
Keep speaking out and telling your stories! Donald Trump created chaos when he tried to stop funding that Congress already approved, which is against the law and unconstitutional. People are frightened and furious, and that message came through loud and clear. 🧵
It is shameful that Trump is using his power to try to deny trans people access to healthcare. To trans Oregonians: Oregon law expressly protects access to gender-affirming care. This discriminatory order will be challenged in court.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who are celebrating in NW Oregon. I hope this new year brings you joy and prosperity.
To all Oregonians who are alarmed: I hear your concerns. I will do everything I can to prevent this administration from causing harm. Please continue to contact my office at bonamici.house.gov/contact/email. We want to hear from you.
Fortunately we still have checks and balances. Moments ago a federal court in Washington DC blocked the funding freeze temporarily - until Monday.
A mother who has an adult son with disabilities told us that he would die without Medicaid; right now in Oregon the Medicaid funding portal is blocked.
This funding freeze threatens programs that feed infants and new mothers, help people pay their heating bills, provide affordable child care, and cover health care for low-income Americans.
Students across Oregon’s universities and community colleges are worried that they may need to leave school if federal student aid is blocked.
We heard from Oregonians whose medical research projects have been cancelled because the National Institutes of Health can no longer distribute funds. This also hurts major Oregon employers and research institutions that get NIH funding.
No president can unilaterally block funding that Congress already approved. Trump is blatantly ignoring the law and his dangerous action to freeze federal funding is already hurting Oregonians. 🧵
Millions of seniors may go without needed meals and social contact because of Trump’s reckless and likely illegal attempt to block federal funding to essential programs like Meals on Wheels.
We should be working to end hunger; the actions of the Trump administration would do the opposite.
I will do everything I can to get this funding restored.
