Health equity and affordable care are the same fight. A system that tolerates discrimination does not just fail individuals— it drives up costs for everyone. Democrats are focused on ensuring all Americans can access quality, affordable health care. 🔗: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP0d...

Ranking Member @bobbyscott.house.gov issued a statement after Committee Republicans announced ten bills that would codify President Trump’s Project 2025 agenda to dismantle the Department of Education: 🔗 democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-...

Today's less-than-stellar jobs report confirms what working Americans already know: the economy isn't working for them.   Trump's reckless economic policies are making life more expensive and holding back the economy.   📉 See the data here.

Have student loans? Starting today, the Trump Administration is making new changes to the student loan program that could make your student loan payments more expensive. Check out the Education Department's website for more information. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

One year ago, Republicans passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history and refused to extend enhanced ACA premium tax credits. Today, Democrats are fighting to undo the damage of the “Big Ugly Bill” and advance bold ideas to lower health care costs. 🔗 youtube.com/live/V7rKw49...

The investigation follows NLRB General Counsel Carey’s alarming testimony before the Committee, in which she admitted she is no longer recusing herself from cases involving her former clients, despite previously committing to do so. 🔗: democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-...

Republicans play stupid games, but then are shocked when they win stupid prizes. At today's hearing, @repsummerlee.bsky.social condemns how unregulated private equity has priced families out of opportunities to participate in youth sports.

All kids should be able to enjoy the benefits of youth sports. But underinvestment in public facilities and the rise of private equity have made youth sports unaffordable. We are fighting to ensure youth sports aren't just limited to the wealthy few. 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGu4...

Last month, Committee Democrats called on the Department of Education to use common sense to hold schools accountable for their students' success. Instead, the Department just issued a final rule to make it easier for predatory, for-profit schools to defraud students.

Three years ago today, the Supreme Court decided in SFFA v. Harvard and UNC to limit the consideration of race in college admissions programs. Systemic inequities in education require systemic solutions to ensure equal access, which SFFA fails to acknowledge.

USDA is planning to "reorganize" the Department and limit access to school meals, and Republicans are refusing to hold them accountable. We have had enough. Today, all Committee Democrats sent a letter to the Majority demanding they hold a hearing and answer our questions.

STARTING SOON: The full Committee will begin consideration of H.R. 8476, 4795, 9203, 2555, H.R. 5505, 2332, 4122, 8822, 8823, 9381, and 9228. Follow along here ⤵️ 🔗: youtube.com/live/zwlZN-WEo…

Today marks four years since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Let’s be clear: abortion is health care, and your health care decisions belong to you—no one else.

President Trump's reckless economic policies have made it harder for working families to stay afloat.  Investing in our Registered Apprenticeship program will give workers the training and skills they need to get ahead and earn while they learn. 🔗: youtube.com/live/NjwEod14e…

Today, @bobbyscott.house.gov joined Congressional Democrats to introduce the Pell Grant Preservation and Expansion Act of 2026 and fight back against Republicans' attacks on the most important tool we have to help students afford college.

Child labor should be a lesson taught in history class, not an ongoing crisis. To commemorate the World Day Against Child Labor, Ranking Member @bobbyscott.house.gov spoke with experts to reaffirm Democrats' commitment to strengthening child labor laws with the Protecting Children Act.

At a time when Republicans are cutting funding from under-resourced public schools, Congress should be investing in public education—not funneling taxpayer dollars to the wealthy. Today, @bobbyscott.house.gov spoke in support of @repgwenmoore.bsky.social’s Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act.

Despite all your hard work, Trump does not care how much you’re struggling. In fact, he loves it.

The federal government has a duty to ensure ALL students can learn in a safe, welcoming environment.   While Republicans are focused on culture wars, Democrats are fighting for what parents want: a quality education and safe schools. 🔗: www.youtube.com/live/SG1UqSm...

458 days. On average, that's how long it takes for unions and employers to agree on a first contract. @bobbyscott.house.gov is fighting to change that. The Faster Labor Contracts Act means workers can negotiate for higher wages, better benefits and safer workplaces without endless delay.

For many workers, the hard work doesn’t end when they vote to form a union— it begins there. The Faster Labor Contracts Act ensures workers and employers can reach a first contract in a timely manner and negotiate for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.

The Trump Administration's reckless policies are making it harder for working families to make ends meet. Congress must focus on lowering costs, raising workers' wages, and ensuring everyone can get ahead - not just the wealthy few.

On the anniversary of the National School Lunch Act, Democrats reaffirm our commitment to the principle that no child should have to learn on an empty stomach. That’s why we’re fighting back against Republicans' threats to children’s access to free school lunches.

Workers who unionize can bargain for higher pay, better benefits, and safer workplaces. However, the Trump Admin is one of the most anti-union in history, putting corporate interests over workers. Today, Democrats will question NLRB leadership. 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyRT...

Artificial intelligence is already shaping the landscape of higher education. Committee Democrats are committed to ensuring AI is used as a tool to help students and educators, not as a weapon against them. 🔗Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VKQ...

From providing school meals to making infant formula accessible, USDA helps feed millions of hungry children. That is why @bobbyscott.house.gov and @repbonamici.bsky.social are sounding the alarm that the Trump Administration is putting these programs at risk. Read more here ⤵️

Right now, Americans are struggling in an economy that isn't working for them. Instead of addressing real issues, Committee Republicans are marking up bills that put culture wars in classrooms and roll back worker protections. Democrats are fighting back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_KS...

Combatting hate is a moral imperative. Unequal treatment leads to unequal outcomes, especially in health care. Democrats remain committed to pursuing real solutions to expand access to affordable, high quality care. 🔗: youtube.com/live/2bS06x1...

After months of ICE raids in schools, students and families need real support to deal with the trauma it has created. Ranking Member @bobbyscott.house.gov asked Secretary McMahon what the Department of Education is doing to address this mental health crisis. The answer is nothing.

WATCH LIVE: ED Secretary McMahon testifies before the House Committee on Education and Workforce. Under her leadership, she has dismantled ED at the expense of students and families. Today, Committee Democrats will defend the future of public education. 🔗: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4kw...
