I've been working on getting these borrowers justice for so many years, and finally it is within reach!"
05/18/2022 Tweet - "Every student deserves a nutritious lunch, and schools need to be able to avoid bureaucracy to make that happen. That's why I'm supporting @SenStabenow 's Support Kids Not Red Tape Act, which will extend a pandemic benefit and support kids and schools."
05/06/2022 Tweet - "Did you know some folks can be liable for an ex-spouse's student loans (even if they were abusive or neglected to pay) because of a defunct program? In the Senate, I told the story of Sarah, a single mom affected by these loans. I have a bill to get justice for these borrowers."

02/26/2022 Tweet - "There have been at least 57 bomb threats against HBCUs in the past 2 months. Let's call it what it is: unconscionable acts of attempted terror against students and faculty. I'm seeking further briefings on the matter and consequences for the perpetrators."
02/25/2022 Tweet - "I'm extremely disturbed by the continuing bomb threats against HBCUs, now targeting three institutions in VA. We cannot allow these acts of attempted terror to continue -- I'm committed to combating hate, extremism, and white supremacy in all its forms."

02/02/2022 Tweet - "I'm deeply disturbed by the bomb threats against HBCUs -- these acts of attempted terror are clear reminders that violent extremism and white supremacy are on the rise. I've requested a briefing and remain committed to combatting hate in all its forms."
