Children shouldn't be afraid of going to school and never seeing their parents again. ICE is traumatizing families.

Medicaid isn’t a handout—it’s a lifeline for millions. It covers 4 in 10 children, 1 in 4 adults with disabilities and 5 in 8 nursing home residents. Cutting it means putting lives at risk. We fight to protect it because healthcare is a right. seiu.co/4hQey0V

This isn’t about politics—it’s about survival. Medicaid funds home care for aging parents, supports special education services for kids and keeps hospitals running. Protect your family and your community. Tell Congress: Vote “NO” to Medicaid cuts. Call Today: 866-426-2631.

Dismantling the Dept. of Ed is NOT how we put families first. It's an extremist scheme to gut public schools & take away educational opportunities for children, students with disabilities & more. A slap in the face to school workers across the country.

Washington parents are calling my office, worried that school lunch programs will be frozen and that their kids will come home hungry tomorrow. That’s President Trump’s doing. Thanks to him, families are scared their children won’t have lunch. Reverse the funding freeze.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

From his first day back in office, Donald Trump has shown us that he stands with the Musks, the Zuckerbergs and the Bezoses of the world. His actions do nothing to fix the problems people are facing, such as the high cost of housing, groceries, care and prescriptions.

Starbucks workers are entering the final phase of negotiations at the bargaining table - and each month, more and more are adding their voice as we fight for our contracts. In fact, 150+ stores organized this year alone! Today, 11 more stores are announcing their union efforts- with more TBA soon🧵
A poster showing a large group of SBWU members, with stars in the corners of the poster saying "150+ Starbucks Stores UNIONIZED in 2024..." and "and now 11 more are publicly organizing today (with even more soon!)" In the other corners of the poster are the outside of two organizing stores - "SODO RESERVE at STARBUCKS HQ - Seattle, WA" and "WATERVILLE COMMONS - Waterville, ME"

It’s Thanksgiving week & Charlotte airport workers are on strike! We keep the airport running but American Airlines’ contractors, ABM Industries & Prospect Services, pay us so little that 40% of CLT workers can’t afford housing. We demand an end to poverty wages & unfair labor practices!
