Today Beth Lewis and I discussed plans to support public schools with work on potential legislation this summer. Thanks to @arizona_sos for your advocacy for students!

MAGA has become bigger than Trump and threatens our Homeland Security. The fact Kevin McCarthy put Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Homeland Security Committee should concern all Americans.
Once upon a time, in the 50s, a family could own a home, a car, send the kids to college, and vacation to enjoy life, all on one income.. and then we cut taxes on the rich, the wealthy hoarded all the money for themselves, and the middle class died.
11 dead in Monterey Park
12 wounded in Baton Rouge
7 dead in Half Moon Bay
2 students dead in Des Moines
300 shot EVERY SINGLE DAY
Every time you vote for a lawmaker who opposes gun safety, you’re voting for policies that make it more likely your loved one will be slaughtered.
The same Republicans railing against abortion in the name of being "pro-life" oppose:
—A living wage
—Climate action
—Gun safety
—Mask mandates
—Universal health care
—Home-care for the elderly
—Food stamps
—Ending the death penalty
The GOP is not pro-life.
I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.
Fellow Black men,
Next time a wealthy white Republican tells you not to be scared of the police if you’re not doing anything wrong, tell them not to be scared of the IRS if they’re not cheating on their taxes.
The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complain about increased IRS funding, remember that the richest 1 percent of Americans evade $163 billion in taxes each year. That’s who the GOP is protecting.
As a former kindergarten teacher, I can't tell you how much it means to me to co-sponsor a bill restoring full-day kinder in Arizona.
Strong early learning programs set our students up for long-term educational success.
Jamie Raskin is a national treasure and hero — and such an important voice in our battle to keep and defend democracy. So sad to hear about his cancer diagnosis earlier today. Let’s all wish him nothing but a speedy recovery. We need him in this fight.
