Is this what "improving education outcomes" looks like?
This administration continues to disregard Congress's Article I spending power, and this time at the expense of our students.
All of this to pay for another tax cut for the wealthiest among us.

I know what it means to have that check show up every month without fail.
I don't know what my family would have done if it weren't for Social Security survivor benefits.
We cannot let up in the fight to protect Social Security.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Congressman Raúl Grijalva, a tireless advocate for working families & a champion for protecting our environment. More importantly, Raúl was a great man, one who loved his family & never forgot where he came from. My prayers are with his family & loved ones.

Republicans' Plan for Social Security:
🔴 Layoff SSA staff
🔴 Leave you on hold
🔴 Tell you Social Security isn't working
🔴 Take their "savings" to fund tax handouts to billionaires
A hard-earned benefit that you have contributed to over the course of a lifetime of work is not an entitlement and it's not a Ponzi scheme.
I know that firsthand. Growing up, Social Security survivor benefits saved my family.
Growing up, I don't know what my family would have done if it weren't for Social Security survivor benefits.
Social Security is an earned benefit, one that is delivered without fail every month.
Not a dime should be cut from Social Security.

This is what we knew all along.
Supporting programs that provide millions of Americans, including children, women, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, with health care, or a tax cut for the wealthiest.
The Republicans are choosing the latter.

2/ The VA is central to the obligation we have to our nation's veterans, and this administration is turning their backs on them.

1/ This is the sign hanging on the door of the Springfield Vet Center after the VA cut thousands of employees in February.
Now, the administration is cutting an additional 80,000 workers and threatening to terminate contracts with critical entities like the National Center for PTSD.
After years of hard work and a lifetime of contributions, our seniors shouldn't have to worry about Republicans meddling with their Social Security.
This is an attack on our nation's seniors - plain and simple.
NEW: In an email obtained by The Bulwark, the acting Social Security administrator made clear they're going to outsource-privatize operations. The expectation is it will be the call centers that seniors depend on.

Pursuing a trade war with our allies does nothing but raise prices & put jobs at risk. The outlook for economic growth has plummeted into the negative, consumer sentiment has plunged, & small businesses & farmers fear what’s to come.
The silence from our Republican colleagues is deafening.
These cuts will affect every part of American life.
Cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that everyday Americans rely upon to justify giving billionaires tens of millions of dollars? Their response? A family of four will receive $1,700.
Shameful.

2/ Rather than supporting and investing in this beloved centuries-old agency established by Congress through its constitutional authority, we are witnessing another attempt at executive overreach on the part of the President.
1/ The Postal Service is essential to the fabric of our communities, delivering life-saving prescriptions, Social Security benefits, paychecks, tax returns, and ballots.
www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
More than 1.5 million Massachusetts residents rely on Medicaid, including more than 164,000 in MA-01.
They are at risk of losing those benefits because Republicans want to give another tax cut to the top 2%

3/ On this Presidents' Day, we thank those leaders like Washington who led with great honor, courage, compassion, and integrity, who understood the significance of the office and our democratic institutions, and were grateful for the honor and privilege of working on behalf of the American people.
2/ He gave up his power and ultimately observed the first peaceful transfer of power in our nation's history.
1/ The first Presidents' Day was celebrated in 1879 as a tribute to George Washington. Despite the overwhelming adoration he received, President Washington recognized the importance of setting a precedent to prevent the kind of tyranny he fought to subvert.
2/ We will continue working to uphold our constitutional system and fighting back against the executive overreach we have witnessed over these last three weeks.
1/ THANK YOU to the more than 8,000 constituents who joined my telephone town hall last night.
I heard every one of your concerns about the new administration, and they are shared by my Democratic colleagues and I.
