I spoke to Build America's School Infrastructure Coalition (BASIC) about the importance of investing in education.
I'm proud of my work as County Executive to break ground on 18 new schools, and I will keep working as your senator to fund our schools so our students can thrive.

Yep, a “signing CR.” Which is still a CR. And Senate very likely won’t be done by Friday anyway

NEWS - The House will pass a CR extending government funding past March 11. It’s clear the Senate won’t be finished with bill by then.
Rules Committee will meet at 12:30-ish on omnibus & new Russia sanctions bill
Also there will be CR lasting for several days as part of the thk

President Biden will sign the infrastructure bill on Monday. The billions for broadband internet could be a big development for many students, as @AlysonRKlein explains: edweek.org/technology/the-in…

The White House announces President Biden will sign the infrastructure bill on Monday. "The President will be joined by Members of Congress who helped write this landmark economic growth bill and by a diverse group of leaders who fought for its passage across the country."

I want to say very clearly: If your number one issue is the cost of living, the number one priority should be seeing Congress pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and my Build Back Better Framework.

Young people are fed up with waiting. We have no time for tit-for-tat negotiations. This is a #ClimateEmergency.
The Build Back Better Act is a historic investment in climate and we need it TODAY.

Under President Biden's leadership:
✅ 70% of Americans have been vaccinated
✅ 80% have received at least one dose
✅ Covid cases & hospitalizations are ⬇️ by more than 50%
AND
✅ 28 million children are now eligible for vaccines
That's recovery in action.
