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

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.

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program helps people serving their communities pay off their student loan debt. ED is now proposing an arbitrary rule that would disqualify borrowers for forgiveness if the administration has ideological differences with the borrower's work. tinyurl.com/3kfuhxx3

Celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security at the Peninsula Agency on Aging. Trump and the GOP are laying off customer service workers, and making it harder for seniors to receive the benefits that they have earned. We must protect Social Security for today’s seniors & future generations.

Last week, I thanked Admiral Daryl Caudle for his leadership as Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces. I have no doubt he will do an excellent job in his new position as Chief of Naval Operations.
