The Trump administration is proposing a near-total ban on abortion care and counseling at VA – a disgraceful attack on women veterans who put their lives on the line to defend our freedom. As a member of @VetAffairsDems, I’m fighting back to ensure women vets have access to the…

The Trump administration is still withholding $4 billion in education funding from schools across the country. Those are critical resources to support teachers, fund mental health programs, and help schools rebuild their infrastructure. They must be released.
