#Sigh…. Guess the Rs on a congressional committee dedicated to workforce don’t like that I spend so much time with our members and their communities. Of course, we will cooperate with any legitimate request, but this won't stop me or our union from fighting for working families.

Let’s get this straight - Iran is a repulsive regime which should never have a nuclear arsenal. But Trump had an obligation to go to Congress, and to explain why now; and what’s next. No one wants a forever war.

Yesterday was incredible. More than 5M people across the country stood up to say #NoKings. This country belongs to all of us. There are so many people to thank, including Indivisible, ACLU, 50501 and of course all the people who showed up, including our fantastic AFT members in over 1000 rallies

Elon Musk’s operatives have been invading Americans’ privacy—& today, a court said NO. It enjoined DOGE. When families apply for student loans, they trust the government to protect their data not steal it or feed it to 3rd parties or AI. This ruling upholds that trust. www.aft.org/press-releas...

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital federal education programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities.
