Schools are just as segregated today as they were in the late 1960s.
Today, the DOJ dismissed over 50 desegregation orders to end federal oversight of states' school integration efforts, turning us back toward the Jim Crow era.
Segregated schools mean segregated opportunity.

Ranking Member @BobbyScott has introduced two bills to finally fulfill the promise of Brown v. Board of Education.

In today's cost-of-living crisis, unions are more critical than ever to help workers earn higher pay and secure better benefits.
Last week, @AFSCME President Patrick Moran and I met to discuss how Congress can empower unions so that workers can have a voice on the job.

The Trump Admin claims it wants to hand education back to the states but this rule would give the already gutted Dept of Ed MORE power over school grants, weakens protections for underserved students, & lets them cut funding for no reason at all.
@BobbyScott says: "withdraw it."

A government watchdog found that ED stopped monitoring $27 billion in K-12 funding for low-income schools.
Without oversight, taxpayer money is now at risk of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Maybe, instead of dismantling ED, it should focus on doing its job.

Why is the Republican answer to every problem the same? Kick people off their health insurance.
Need to pay for billionaire tax cuts? Kick people off health insurance.
Need to pretend to care about fraud while still attending Don Jr.'s wedding? Kick people off health insurance.

Americans are struggling to choose between buying groceries and making student loan payments.
Meanwhile, Committee Republicans have done nothing to address the rising cost of college.
Priorities.

Republicans have too often sided with corporate interests over working people, and that includes attacking unions, which give workers a voice in the workplace, for fighting back against Trump's anti-worker agenda.
The real threats to workers are not unions, but a rigged economy.

The House just passed the Science of Reading Act.
Championed by Ranking Member @BobbyScott and @JohnMannionNY22, this bill puts decades of research on how kids learn to read—phonics, fluency, and comprehension—into action and ensures federal literacy dollars follow the evidence.

At this morning’s @EdWorkforceDems hearing, I urged my Republican colleagues to work with @HouseDemocrats in addressing the issues facing working Americans rather than continuing their partisan attacks on unions and the worker protections they provide. Trump’s economy is failing the American people and we should be coming together to provide relief, but my colleagues across the aisle want to hold hearings demonizing unions instead.

Under the Trump Administration, the lowest-paid workers made less in 2025 than they did in 2024, with their paychecks eaten up by the rising cost of *EVERYTHING.*
Meanwhile, Trump has made more than $2 billion since his second term began. thehill.com/business/persona…

When families need Head Start most, the Trump Administration is trying to rip it away. Americans deserve better.
This morning, I joined advocates from @nwlc to rally to strengthen Head Start and make child care accessible for all.

The Trump administration is waging war on public education.
Not on our watch.
Today, I stood with @AFGENational, @AFTunion, and @NEA, and the educators, staff, and students they serve.
We are fighting to ensure every student can access a quality public education.
