NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Parents are worried enough about the state of America's public education system. Reading scores have hit a twenty-year low, and chronic absenteeism is on the rise. We need to work together to reimagine our public schools for the 21st century, not bring a wrecking ball to them. Full statement ⬇️

The genius of our young people is our nation’s most precious resource. Eliminating the Department of Education is unconscionable to those of us who believe in the future of America. We are robbing young people and educators of resources that have built the most successful country on earth.

Donald Trump just gave the order to dismantle the Department of Education. He wants fewer resources for teachers and fewer opportunities for our kids—just so his billionaire friends can get richer.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Public education made me who I am—it opened doors and gave me opportunities I never imagined. But efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and restrict learning in Ohio will drive young people out, weakening our workforce and economy. We must invest in education to secure our future.

Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter worked tirelessly to hold billionaires and massive corporations accountable, so it's no surprise they've been targeted by Trump and Musk. This is yet another gift from Trump to the rich and powerful that profit off of ripping off consumers.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid: - Millions of children will lose their health care. - Funding for community health centers will dry up. - Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need. That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

This isn't a "crackdown on DEI". This is white men getting pissy about the fact that POC and women are capable of doing just as much, if not more, as they can. It's blatant racism and sexism, and quite frankly, it is vile.
