Yes, we remember the first tax cuts: For the first time in history, U.S. billionaires paid a lower tax rate than the working class last year www.washingtonpost.com/business/201...

🔥🔥🔥 I’m 80 years old. I decided to call #SocialSecurity “If you are calling about a disability application due to staffing reductions, our average processing time for disability applications is 200 to 230 days. The estimated hold time is greater than 120 minutes”

Exactly, @proftwolf.bsky.social. Students going to school for science and healthcare are watching their futures put on hold because the Trump administration is putting billionaires and profit before patients. www.insidernj.com/trumps-reckl...

Education isn’t just teaching what you agree with. It’s about critical thinking, honest history, and collaboration. We filed this lawsuit because the admin is hurting students who benefit from access to education and the promise of equal opportunity for all. apnews.com/article/educ...

Take it from me, you guys. When it comes to protecting vital public funding—from #education to #Medicaid and more—watch what they do, not what they say. Follow the money, not the empty promises.

Every worker deserves a safe a secure retirement. Just this week we saw Tesla stock continue to sink faster than a Cybertruck in quicksand. So we're asking asset managers to honestly look at their investments in Tesla. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/b...

This is a significant decision that puts a firewall between actors whom we believe lack the legitimacy and authority to access Americans’ personal data and are using it inappropriately, without any safeguards. @rweingarten.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Its a dark time now; it’s why I am continually inspired by the love our teachers, school support staff, nurses, faculty, grad workers, and public employees have for the communities they serve. Happy Valentine’s Day, and thank you for all that you do.

Actually, more than 70% of NH voters oppose diverting public school funds to private vouchers. It is time to fully fund our cherished local public schools. @aftunion.bsky.social

3 key moments from the McMahon hearing: Do they or do they not want a federal curriculum? Vouchers=private schools do the choosing, and…RFK Jr in charge of special ed funding?

While some Senators focus on culture war issues instead of what matters to families and voters, let's ask more #QuestionsForLinda. For example: How do we ensure that our tax dollars aren't misused, and go to the kids who need them most?

No one gave the government permission to weaponize confidential financial & personal information against American citizens. Certainly no one gave Musk the right to steal private data—presumably to assist in cutting taxes for himself + other billionaires. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Maryland Democratic U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, alongside advocates and labor union leaders, on Tuesday lambasted President Donald Trump’s sweeping education initiatives since he took office and his choice of Linda McMahon to lead the U.S. Education Department.

Here’s how to read all this news about Trump trying to dismantle the US Dept of Ed by order. They don’t have the authority to do it on their own, and may not have the support to do it in Congress, either.

Great news for American families! Trump's actions on federal funding are a violation of the separation of powers. A temporary restraining order says he can't "pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate …federal financial assistance to the States." portal.ct.gov/ag/press-rel...
