Schools, families, our most vulnerable students — no one is spared from the Trump Administration’s illegal actions attacking the Department of Education. I am leading the Senate resolution to protect our students from these destructive cuts to their education.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Good morning from Washington, DC! We’re outside the Department of Education to protest the Trump administration’s moved to gut the department and slash federal funding for our kids. #EdMatters #ProtectOutKids

She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

I don’t buy the narrative that Trump & President Musk actually WANT a shutdown. If that was the truth, they would’ve put forth an even worse bill that would 100% guarantee zero Dem votes. What they did was propose a bill that green-lights DOGE & Elon’s billionaire takeover by omitting guardrails.

“Tell the Congress: Do your job!” We have people up and down the block outside the Department of Education - and they’re demanding we stop cuts to education. #EdMatters #ProtectOurKids

Senate Democrats can’t surrender. Make sure your senator votes NO on cloture and doesn’t cave on the extreme MAGA spending bill. 👇

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws. Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

I spoke to the head of a Veteran Affairs medical facility last night. He told me point blank that Trump/Musk's layoffs at his facility ALREADY means less critical care for our veterans. He added that these cuts will literally kill veterans. Trump/Musk are now killing our veterans.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

"This is the canary in the coal mine, where they're saying, hey look, if we can get away with this for USAID, FBI is next, or the Department of Education is next." Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) slams the fact that Elon Musk has gained access to sensitive information across the U.S. government.
