Our schools should be safe, inclusive spaces for young people of all backgrounds & identities to learn & grow. That’s why I’m inspired by the students & staff at Worcester Public Schools, whose new Stand Against Racism Campaign reminds us that we are stronger when we take a stand against hate.

Always a blast when I get to visit @nysut.bsky.social, whose support I’m so proud to have in this race. Our kids deserve a world-class education, and our teachers need the funding and resources to deliver it.

I was proud to stand alongside Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota in 2023 as she and Gov. Walz helped expand background checks and pass a red flag law. I saw firsthand what I’ve long known about Lt. Gov. Flanagan: She is a courageous leader who will always stand up for public safety.

ICE is showing up at hospitals, schools and airports—terrorizing families to go after people who have never even been charged with a crime. Enough. It’s past time for a complete overhaul of Trump’s ICE, DHS and Border Patrol.

Pilots and air traffic controllers operate under immense stress—and yet, they are far too often penalized for seeking the mental health care they need.   The Senate just passed two bipartisan bills led by myself and Sen. John Hoeven to help fix that. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
