338 rural hospitals across the country would be at risk of cutting services, converting, or closure because of proposed GOP cuts.
For many communities, the hospital is their #1 employer.
No billionaire tax break & no healthcare cots are is worth American lives & livelihoods.

Yet another example of Trump's Big Ugly Bill cutting access to higher education and leaving us worse off. We need doctors and healthcare professionals - but this bill makes it tougher for students to enter those fields. nytimes.com/2025/06/09/healt…

Mark your calendars! 📅
We're joining @TheSBPC for an organizing call on Thursday, 6/5 @ 7 PM ET. We'll be discussing the House's reconciliation bill, which gives $4.5 TRILLION in tax cuts to billionaires but makes college more expensive.

“In 2025, the game is not to burn it down, but to slow it down…. By pushing people like Johnson into FAMU, DeSantis can quietly and efficiently change the curriculum, alter the focus and redirect our education the way he sees fit.” @fedingram

In the dead of night, House Republicans started the Rules Committee meeting to try and send Trump’s Tax Scam Bill to the House floor— so Americans wouldn’t see what they’re doing.
@HouseDemocrats have been here since last night to shine a light on how harmful this bill is for hardworking Americans.

As I asked my House Republican colleagues at 3:00 am — why did they schedule a hearing on their reckless budget bill in the dead of the night?
Because they can’t defend it.

"Universities will lose access to global talent. Scientific research will suffer. Political expression will be chilled. At stake is not just the fate of thousands of foreign students—it is the soul of the university & its role in a democratic society."

Confidence in America’s democracy is falling.
Concerns are growing about authoritarianism replacing it.
How do we move from rejecting plurality & suppressing dissent to caring for community, expanding opportunity & strengthening democracy?

Medicaid makes sure every American has a safety net to lean on when they need it most. It's unconscionable to slash these lifelines that millions of Americans - kids, families, veterans, the elderly - depend on, to give yet another tax cut to billionaires.

This powerful letter from 150+ college leaders captures what so many of us have been saying: Enough with the political attacks on knowledge. Our colleges and universities must remain spaces for truth, inquiry, free expression, and opportunity. aacu.org/newsroom/a-call-for…

Trump has declared war on America’s colleges and universities, demanding they bow to his demands on what they can teach and whom they can admit or hire. Here's my latest column.
