More than 10,000 students had their dreams stifled by another

The worst part is that warning signs of Argosy’s financial troubles were there, but@BetsyDeVosED &@usedgov chose to ignore the red flags and failed to hold them accountable.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/business/argosy-college-art-insititutes-south-university.html …Thanks.

Happy International Women’s Day today and every day. In the words of Michelle Obama, “the difference between a broken community and a thriving one is the presence of women who are valued.” We are a better world today because of the women who are in it.

As expected, the Trump Administration released an overtime proposal that doesn't meet the needs of workers in today's economy. If this Admin. won't fix the rules that have been rigged against workers, Congress has to — that includes expanding overtime pay.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-overtime/trump-administration-proposes-overtime-pay-expansion-idUSKCN1QO2UW …

Tmrw,
@HouseDemocrats will vote on#HR1, the#ForThePeople Act. This act would:
Take “HUUUGE” money out of politics
Clean up corruption
Ensure fair elections
This bill is revolutionary b/c it's created #ForThePeople -- Not

Zombie campaigns explained:
Politicians can keep and use leftover campaign cash forever, even if they become lobbyists
Campaign accounts remain active even after some politicians have passed away
In #HR1, the Let It Go Act will help stop this unethical practice.pic.twitter.com/ui8DiPK6YCLet It Go #ForThePeopleThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
I launched an investigation into the Mar-a-Lago cronies influencing decision-making at VA.
@realDonaldTrump is no "king." In America, corruption and undue influence are investigated, and Congress will hold the President and his Administration accountable.https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-mar-a-lago-buddy-wrote-policy-pitch-the-president-sent-it-to-va-chief …Thanks.

I am so glad
@HouseDemocrats are shining a light on the Trump Administration’s inhumane family separation policy.

"I appreciate that your first priority is my first priority, providing healthcare & disability benefits to Blue Water Navy veterans exposed to Agent Orange. It is long past time for Congress to pass H.R. 299, & I agree. Congress cannot fail these veterans again!" -

@SpeakerPelosi is a tough speaker to follow — it’s an honor to be an advocate for#LGBTQ rights alongside her. With her leadership and the work of@eqca, we are one step closer to passing the#EqualityAct and expanding federal protections for LGBTQ people nationwide.

On average, an AAPI woman loses at least $292,400 to the
#wagegap over the course of her career -- and pay disparity statistics are starker when AAPI data is disaggregated. We need to pass the#PaycheckFairness act to guarantee equal pay for equal work for all.#AAPIEqualPayThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
