Republicans claim their Big, Ugly Bill makes college cheaper for working families. In reality: - It does NOT require schools to lower costs - It does NOT increase federal funding for grant programs - It limits students' access to grants and federal loans It is a win for predatory... show more

Now I’ve seen it all The Wall Street Journal is actually reporting that Donald Trump taking away loan funding for college majors that don’t financially benefit students is “a good thing” Even calling them “clown colleges” “College programs that don't leave graduates financially better off will soon be ineligible for federal student loan funding. Here's why that's a good thing.” They explain how predatory colleges have become and how by taking away the funding for these programs it’ll force schools to lower their prices and make college cheaper “When the government stops providing taxpayer-funded loans to these programs, it keeps students from making a bad investment, and it incentivizes colleges to either lower prices or reform these programs to make them better. The government shouldn't fund college programs that leave students worse off” “The point of a federal student loan program should be to help students access a quality education, not give money to literal clown colleges.” Honest reporting from the Wall Street Journal… who knew that was even possible There was a study done on colleges and colleges who had students with access to federal student loans and Pell grants had 78% higher prices than other schools that didn’t have those students So this means colleges are skyrocketing prices because federal loans will be given out to cover the costs. Translation: They are robbing Americans blind

The Big Ugly Bill is a big, ugly disaster for working families. It took away food and healthcare to give billionaires a tax cut. Trump and Republicans are failing the American people.

DelBene: Folks are rejecting Republicans and the Trump agenda. It has raised costs for families across the country—food, housing, health care, child care, energy costs—all going up. Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one. It’s a big broken promise. And they don’t even care. They’re not even talking about it. Here we are, finally, with the House open again, and they’re not doing any legislation to help lower costs for families. It’s not a priority for them.

This woman absolutely cooks at the New Richmond School Board meeting in which a packed room of parents showed up to protest an indefensible policy: ✅Biological boys are allowed to use girls’ bathrooms ✅Girls who object are the ones forced to walk to the other end of the building ✅They’re told to use a single-stall nurse’s bathroom instead And then the school board does the most predictable thing imaginable: They claim their hands are tied because they’re “following federal law.” Oh really? Let’s ask Harmeet K. Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, if that’s true. AAGHarmeetDhillon U.S. Department of Education ocr Because federal law does not require schools to erase girls’ spaces. It does not require schools to sideline girls for the comfort of boys. And it certainly does not require this level of bureaucratic cowardice. Parents know it. Girls feel it. And tonight, one brave woman said it out loud. Slay, Queen 👑

This is what it looks like when the federal government cuts essential funding for programs that support working class families: Kids go hungry. Families worry about keeping a roof over their heads. Communities suffer.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it! Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

ICYMI: Senate Republicans cheered after spending 18 hours passing a rotten bill that makes their priorities painfully clear: more money for Donald Trump, more power for Donald Trump, and nothing to lower costs for working families.

Trump and Republicans’ so-called SAVE America Act will make it harder for Americans to vote in federal elections. This is disenfranchisement. It’s unserious, and House Democrats will not stand for it.

Donald Trump is making major changes that will ban colleges from the Federal Student Loan Program and all federal financial aid if the programs at that college don't pass the earnings test “They are putting together a new earnings threshold test that says Bachelor degree program graduates have to earn more than the median high school graduate in your state 4 years after graduation. And when it comes to grad school programs, they have to earn more than bachelor's degree graduates for that same type of field in that state within 4 years after their graduate school program. If the school program fails this test for 2 years in a row, they will lose access to federal Fi, federal student loans. And if more than 50% of the school's programs fail this test, they lose access to all types of federal financial aid programs.” Here’s what that really means Colleges can no longer have programs that do not deliver positive financial outcomes for their graduates The goal is to stop federal taxpayer subsidies via loans and grants for programs that leave graduates financially worse off or no better than if they had skipped college This is common sense legislation and a huge win for everyone

Washington Republicans are trying to make it harder for you to vote. Not non-citizens — you. The SAVE Act would prevent millions of Americans from exercising their constitutional right to vote. We should be making it easier for eligible citizens to participate in our elections, not harder. This bill does the opposite, and everyone in Washington knows it. The SAVE Act is not about election security. It is about disenfranchisement.

Thousands of California families may already have money for their children through programs like CalKIDS. We’re making it easier for them to claim it. In partnership with Google.org and the Early Wealth Partnership, we’re launching a new tool to help families access and claim CalKIDS and other wealth-building accounts.

Americans are calling on their leaders to take action on affordability – and housing is the biggest expense for families. But House Republicans just rejected a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs that received unanimous support in the Senate. Let’s talk about it.

I think college sports needs reform. But the new Senate college sports bill is not the way to fix it. It creates two different systems - one for athletes that limits and micromanages their compensation; and another with no limits for coaches, ADS and sports industry execs.
