    The business groups that met on Capitol Hill today had a better chance to question the Education Secretary than nearly every Democrat in Congress. After 16 months, still hasn't appeared before this committee.

    We must do all we can to protect public . The GOP PROSPER Act would add an estimated $70 million a year in student loan debt for students in the UC system and cut $15 billion in student aid nationally. 2/2

    Thank you & for your resolution reintroducing the Office of Technology Assessment, which was cut in 1995. Today technology touches every aspect of civic & commercial life. That's why it's time to bring the back to life.

    Today, I was proud to introduce a resolution naming April 26 as International . At a time when we are constantly overloaded with information, a well-designed chart can provide the clarity we need to understand and address the challenges we face.

    The VA is one of America’s most important organizations. President Trump must eventually learn that the best way to honor veterans is not through speeches, tweets, or parades, it is by taking the time to nominate a VA Secretary who is properly vetted and qualified to do the job.

    Last night's court ruling on forces the Trump administration to answer a fundamental question: Can it demonstrate that the decision to end DACA was based on anything beyond animus towards immigrants? My guess is the answer is no.

    Like any large organization, the VA needs stability and continuity in leadership to succeed. The Trump administration has provided neither. The constant chaos is a disservice to the millions of veterans who rely on the VA for care.

    This amount of money, which the big banks saved in THREE MONTHS under the Trump tax law, is enough to extend the veterans caregiver benefits program to veterans from every generation for FIVE years.

    NEW YORK (AP) — An analysis by The Associated Press shows the nation's six big Wall Street banks saved at least $3.59 billion in taxes last quarter, thanks to the recently enacted Trump tax law.

    Here's a montage of Republicans making promises about the tax bill that are directly contradicted by reality.

    There’s something unique about this ruling against President Trump’s attack on sanctuary cities: All three judges are Republican appointees.

    Campaign Trump in 2016: I'll take care of our veterans like they’ve never been taken care of before. President Trump today: I’m hiring my campaign staffer who is accused of sexually harassing a colleague to be VA's chief information officer.

    Republicans have repeatedly said that their nearly $2 trillion tax cut will pay for itself. They're either lying to you or lying to themselves.

    The Trump administration/Koch Brothers basically staged a mutiny against Secretary Shulkin for saying he wouldn't privatize VA. If confirmed, watch closely how they treat Dr. Jackson.

    Full story ~~ SenatorTester meets with VA Secretary nominee Jackson: "He said basically the same thing that Shulkin said, that he wants to build capacity within the VA and he was not interested in privatizing it.”

    As an English teacher, I admired Barbara Bush for her commitment to literacy. As an American, I admired Barbara Bush for providing the nation a model of character, candor, and strength. My thoughts are with the Bush family.

    Thanks, Tim. As I said this morning, it may be hard to believe but not all lawmakers are technology experts. Reviving the will lead to better, more informed technology policy. In the past, it has actually saved taxpayers money! My testimony:

    We have classrooms infested with bees, old textbooks held together with tape, and teachers living on the verge of poverty. The GOP solution is to spend $1.3 trillion on a corporate tax cut.
