Just completed a 15.1 mile walkabout in our fair city and I can conclude that everything is fine, is awful, is amazing, is deeply depressing, is incredibly hopeful, is hopeless, is magnificent, can improve, has improved so much, has declined, is on the rise. And don’t let anyone tell you different.

Schools, families, our most vulnerable students — no one is spared from the Trump Administration’s illegal actions attacking the Department of Education.
I am leading the Senate resolution to protect our students from these destructive cuts to their education.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

The USPS is a Constitutionally guaranteed public service—not something to be gutted for parts. As a former letter carrier I know how vital this work is for our rural, suburban, and urban communities. Thank you to the National Association of Letter Carriers for this Day of Action. #HandsOffTheUSPS

Trump just signed an executive order to defund our public schools.
School budgets will be slashed. Academic and extracurricular programs will be cut. Classroom sizes will grow larger. Special education will be gutted. Students will fall behind.
