Schools are sensitive locations. This adds fear and chaos into what should be a safe, welcoming environment.
The cruel ICE enforcement will touch us all—The care workers who are targeted because of their race and where they work, the day care center that is now short staffed, the families desperate to find affordable care so that they too can work.

I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social today to demand that Republicans get back to work with Democrats to prevent catastrophic increases in health care costs. Millions of women are at risk of losing health care due to skyrocketing costs—Congress can and must prevent that from happening.

It turns out that illegally firing federal workers as a negotiating tactic is bad for everyone.
These are the moves of someone who believes there are no checks on his power.
Come to the table, lower the cost of health care, open the government.
