Rabiyatu's and Roseanny's stories are unfortunately not unique. I think we can all agree that college costs too damn much right now.
Taking away opportunities for students is no way to lead. House Republicans must show courage and reject their Big Disastrous Bill once and for all.

My joint statement with @booker.senate.gov on the nomination of Alina Habba for U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk don’t need more money.
House Republicans have a choice: tax cuts for billionaires or health care for 16 million Americans.
Senate Republicans just passed a massive tax cut for billionaires, and are handing the bill to hard working New Jerseyans by cutting $200 billion in food assistance.
The fight is NOT over. Let’s put pressure on all House Republicans to save SNAP and vote down this harmful bill.
The fight continues.
Senate Republicans failed a simple test of courage despite knowing the devastation it could cause all of us.
But, this is by no means a done deal. As the bill heads back to the House, we must put pressure on Republicans there.
Let's keep making noise.

Republicans snuck in a line that'd make it harder for people to become home care workers for seniors and people with disabilities.
Senator Kim forced a vote to try to take it out.
Republicans voted NO.
Around 3am, I introduced an amendment to support home and community based health care workers, and Republicans voted it down.
This is a direct betrayal of the hard working people who take care of those we love the most.

It appears that this bill might be too big and not beautiful enough for some of my Republican colleagues.
If we stand together, we can fight back against these cuts to Medicaid, increased energy costs, and skyrocketing deficits.

Democrats cut child poverty nearly in half by expanding the Child Tax Credit.
Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Bill denies 22 million low-income kids the full benefits they deserve—while also robbing 16 million kids of their free school lunches.
It's billionaires before kids.
22 hours in on this Big Disastrous Bill, and there’s a reason why the Republicans are flailing: they know it’s reckless and wrong.
We’re going to keep the pressure on. Please help us spread the word.

There are plenty of words to describe Republicans' effort to cut off families’ access to health care, nutritious meals, home heating, and more.
Tonight I asked my @democrats.senate.gov colleagues to tell me one word they'd use.
I know first-hand how hard and scary it is to care for an aging loved one. Republicans in the Senate do too, yet they're trying to take away health care for millions of seniors across America, stripping them of the dignity and decency they deserve.
LIHEAP is a program that helps 6 million Americans survive through both heatwaves and cold winters. Senate Republicans are trying to use their Big Disastrous Bill we're voting on right now to cut it.
Here's how LIHEAP provides lifesaving support to New Jerseyans.
Hers is just one example of how Medicaid cuts would devastate families across this country.
I'm fighting for people like Theresa, Dylan, and Max, and I hope you'll join me. 2/2
"Without Medicaid, my children would go without basic healthcare."
Thank you, Theresa, for having the courage to share your story. I urge you to read how Medicaid has changed Theresa and her twin boys' lives. 1/2

At the end of the day, Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is very simple.
It takes from working families to give to billionaires.
I want Tom’s words to echo through the Senate chamber for everyone to hear.
We must take action to protect health care for all Americans, including people with disabilities who rely on Medicaid to survive.
Reposted bySenator Andy Kim
As we head toward a vote on President Trump’s signature bill, there’s no getting around the facts that this bill is going to cost you in a bunch of different ways.
🧵
The American people are begging us to save their health care.
Will Republicans step up and show courage or will they abandon their constituents to give over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the rich?
We must do everything we can to stop this dangerous bill.
So many of us rely on nursing homes to take care of our parents and grandparents. I can relate to this and I know many of you can, too.
I’m heartbroken that this is what Republicans are pushing in favor of tax cuts for the richest among us, and I’m going to do everything I can to stop it.
