Every child deserves access to healthy, nutritious meals—but extreme anti-public education politicians are threatening to cut vital programs like Head Start and universal school meals. These cuts would hurt our most vulnerable students.
📢 Text ACTION to 48744 and tell Congress to do what’s right.

The Department of Agriculture fired employees working on the avian flu outbreak because of DOGE. DOGE works directly for President Trump.
So from now on, when this kind of thing happens, it should be reported as, "Trump fires employees working on avian flu."

Millions of students rely on programs run by the Department of Education. Eliminating it would be equivalent to "giving up on our future," says @neapresident.bsky.social Becky Pringle.
We need leaders who will stand up for students—not dismantle the very systems that support them.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.
It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.
Some populist, huh?

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.
