As students head back to school, @BetsyDeVosED is moving forward with a plan to deny $500M a year in debt relief to student borrowers who’ve been victims of predatory lending by certain for-profit colleges. It hurts students and helps con artists. Congress must block this rule. — PolitiTweet.org

I will fight Trump’s plan to steal funds from a child development center at @Andrews_JBA to pay for his wall. @usairforce shows this will cause "severe financial strain" to military families ($9,400/year) and lower readiness because of “severe degradation” to the quality of life. https://t.co/asValxoNia — PolitiTweet.org

The myth of trickle-down economics strikes again. Trump said the GOP tax plan would help American workers. Instead, it saddled them with trillions in debt while the GOP's billionaire buddies won big. The Trump tides don’t lift all boats—just the yachts of rich shareholders. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is diverting millions from important military projects in Maryland and across the country to pay for his unnecessary border wall. He promised that Mexico would pay for it—instead, taxpayers are on the hook. This unconstitutional money grab undermines our national security. https://t.co/IKxVV7tYGt — PolitiTweet.org

Mass shootings grab most of the headlines, but we can't become numb to the daily toll of gun violence. This past weekend, there were multiple shootings in Baltimore. Maryland is not an island and a big share of guns used in crimes come from out of state. The Senate must act. — PolitiTweet.org
