My heart is with the victims and the entire Minneapolis community. Children should not have to live in fear at school. Americans should not have to live in fear in their communities. When is it enough?

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
