Trump spent 100 days dismantling public ed, attacking universities, firing federal workers—including veterans—ending vital labor & health programs, and making it harder for retirees to access Social Security. It’s no wonder his public approval is tanking! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLa9...

Trio of rulings freezes Trump's anti-DEI directives for schools Federal judges on Thursday dealt three separate blows to the Education Department’s plans to enforce sweeping bans on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the nation’s K-12 schools.

This triad of rulings lets districts know that the Trump admin can’t put essential school programs at risk in t—because a school or a state won’t stop teaching honest history or helping all kids. It’s really vital particularly those who depend on Title I funding

If we really believe that Public Ed is essential for Americans, particularly our young people, we have to talk to and listen to everyone. My Fox Digital Op Ed

So President Trump retreated on tariffs- he ordered a 90 day pause -except for China and the Market is bouncing back. The uncertainty maybe good TV, but it’s bad policy. This week retirees income plummeted , the housing market got hurt & inflation fears soared. Thanks to those who got to Trump.

Weingarten: If you think this is unprecedented. You’re not crazy. It is. It is. We have never faced the kind of assault on people that has happened in the last 60 plus days.

Closing Social Security offices makes it harder for people get their Social Security. Shutting down phone lines makes it harder for people to get what they need. They're undermining opportunity and retirement security for everyone.

Thank u Ari Melber 4 having me discuss why I’m spitting mad about the Ed Dept firings. It’s an attack on our students & public schools. They’re hurting people who can’t vote-our kids. It’s taking away opportunity. It’s not efficiency-it’s evisceration #ProtectOurKids www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF9i...

The lies and deceit that spew from Trump are disgusting and shameful. ALL our students deserve safe and welcoming schools.

A Union Takes on Musk via Tesla’s Stock The American Federation of Teachers is pressuring some of the carmaker’s biggest shareholders as the tech mogul's cost-cutting influence in Washington sets off alarm bells.

Every worker deserves a safe a secure retirement. Just this week we saw Tesla stock continue to sink faster than a Cybertruck in quicksand. So we're asking asset managers to honestly look at their investments in Tesla.

Establishing dominance isn’t leadership. Strong leaders aren’t fearful of diversity and work tirelessly to support those in their charge. The intentional threats and long term effects of the president’s actions only reinforce the perception of a feckless man.
