Workers deserve fair pay and good benefits. Companies misclassifying workers as "independent contractors" to pad their own pockets is bad for workers, harms taxpayers, and hurts the economy. It's not "flexibility." It's exploitation. WATCH NOW: youtube.com/watch?v=gpykA9…

Everyone—regardless of their age—should be able to go to work every day knowing that they are protected from discrimination. The bipartisan, bicameral Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act would strengthen the legal rights of older workers.

For many children, the food they receive in school is the only healthy food they will have that day. Yet, according to the latest estimates, the Republicans' bill to give tax breaks to billionaires could result in 18.3 million children losing access to free school meals.

When we attack diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs, we are not protecting merit, we are limiting opportunity. Committee Democrats are standing up for every student because people from all backgrounds deserve a fair shot at success. youtube.com/live/N4kX5FlrI…

12 hours later and we still don't have final text of your Big, Bad Budget Bill that will kick nearly 14 million people off their health care and put more than 18 million kids at risk of losing their school meals.

House Republicans began the final committee meeting on Trump's Big Bad Billionaires' Bill at 1 AM and it is still going. I finished my testimony earlier today. This terrible bill gives massive tax breaks to the wealthy, kicks nearly 14 million people off their health care,

House Republicans passed their Big, Bad Billionaires' Bill. It will add $3.8 trillion to the national debt in order to shovel massive tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. And they will make America’s middle class and working families pay the price by forcing nearly 14

This win belongs to our students, our educators, our communities and to everyone who believes a free quality, public education is worth fighting for.

Public charter schools, just like other public schools, must abide by the Constitution. In a victory for the separation of church and state, today’s decision means that taxpayer dollars cannot be used to fund religious charter schools. npr.org/2025/05/22/nx-…

The Supreme Court’s shameful decision to allow the President to unjustly fire NLRB Member Wilcox will empower union-busters and make it harder for workers to exercise their right to form a union.

Harvard has taken a stand against the Administration's overreach and now the Administration is seeking retribution.   Students are not political pawns. I agree with the Court's decision: blocking foreign students from enrolling would cause "immediate and irreparable injury.”

Over 70 years after Brown v. Board, more than one in three K-12 public school students still attend a racially segregated school. Today, Democrats introduced two bills to advance educational equity and address modern challenges to school integration and civil rights enforcement.

The Department of Labor canceled critical Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations grants. House Democrats are demanding answers and action to reverse this decision. Women deserve equal opportunities in skilled trades. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

The oil and gas industry is lobbying the Trump Administration to kill a rule that would protect workers from extreme heat. Working in high heat can be deadly. Workers deserve water, shade, and rest to stay safe on the job. eenews.net/articles/heat-…

Outrageous.  “We are all going to die” is this senator’s defense for Republicans in Congress taking health care from 14 million Americans. Most might not say it this directly, but this is what any member of Congress who votes to slash Medicaid really means.

The Trump Administration has effectively ordered the closing of all Job Corps centers across the United States. President Trump is cheating at-risk youth out of access to well-paying, stable jobs that will strengthen our communities and the economy. democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-re…
