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 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 spoke in support of @RepGwenMoore’s Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act.

I’m proud of the investments we’ve made in education in the Bay Area, a sentiment I shared with San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Su at today’s @Edworkforcedems hearing. Programs supporting parent engagement, student mental health, and special education services benefit American students tremendously, and I will continue to be a staunch advocate for them.

It's unacceptable that Republicans on the Education and Workforce Committee are once again picking on vulnerable children and school districts that understand the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Today, House Republicans wasted a committee hearing attacking school district officials who stood up for their students and refused to cave to the Trump administration’s culture war attacks on transgender youth.
The treatment these educators received from some of my colleagues was completely unacceptable.
These are public servants on the frontlines of educating our children, and they deserve to be treated with respect.

Today’s Ed and Workforce hearing tried to weaponize inclusive policies that simply give kids—disabled, marginalized, and queer kids—a fair shot.
These policies work to reverse systemic discrimination and meet the needs of all students. Why are my colleagues so against that?

The Nation’s Report Card shows that students are facing serious academic challenges.
The response should be more support for students, educators, and families.
Instead, the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans are undermining public education.

My Faster Labor Contracts Act has passed the House!
Newly unionized workers shouldn't have to wait years for their first contract. I appreciate my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for coming together to take this enormous step – now let's finish the job:

Every time you wince at your grocery receipt or worry about how you'll fill up your tank this summer, just remember – Trump loves these higher prices and wouldn't have it any other way.
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

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

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.
Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.
Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

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.

458 days. On average, that's how long it takes for unions and employers to agree on a first contract.
@BobbyScott 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 safety and health of working people should NEVER be put at risk so corporations can make even more money.
@ActorsEquity President @BrookeShields is right. ALL workers deserve the workplace safety and health protections that come with a union contract.

Rural communities often face unique challenges, which were only exacerbated by the "One Big Ugly Bill."
Now, Republicans are proposing to weaken health care workers' protections and cut workers' benefits.

Despite how hard they work, families are feeling stretched too thin by the rising cost of living.
Congress must focus on lowering costs, raising wages, expanding economic opportunity, and ensuring that growth reaches everyone—not just the wealthy and well-connected.
Inflation is now rising faster than wages.
Prices increased 3.8% annually in April, compared to hourly earnings which rose 3.8%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This is the first time inflation has outpaced wages since April 2023.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission should work for workers, not Trump.
Instead of promoting equal opportunity in our federal workforce, the EEOC is doing Trump's bidding and dismantling fair employment practices that prevent discrimination.

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.
