Cornell's settlement with the Trump administration does nothing to make students safer and undermines Cornell’s academic mission. (2/2)

It’s fitting to be at the Roosevelt House—FDR’s home as he launched his political career—to talk about the value of public education to democracy. FDR understood that the true safeguard to democracy is education and delivered historic investments to strengthen America’s public schools.

Thank you Senator

That December vote is a huge moment we can turn into a victory. People are watching. Good bill, we win; they cheat, they will lose. If we fight united.

Do I trust them? No. That’s why I voted no. But they are in a terrible position, and we can use the next few weeks to turn the pressure up even further.

1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
