It is hard to digest just how big of an impact today’s decision is going to have on our country and Americans’ basic rights. “Chevron deference” supports the success of Medicare, the Clean Water Act, the Fair Housing Act. Without it, the future of these and much more is unclear. As the Supreme Court continuously fails to protect fundamental rights like healthcare, fair housing, or even clean air and water, Congress must. I’m a proud cosponsor on legislation to codify Chevron deference and ensure the programs and laws Americans rely on every single day are not put in jeopardy.
Yesterday it was SEC vs. Jarkesy, today it's Chevron. What does this combo mean? Every Federal agency can now be challenged and undermined, and basically has no statutory legitimacy. All regulation delegated to them is effectively repealed, and Congress has to directly regulate everything. Welcome to the 1890's, folks.

Just witnessed the @SOMPatriots grant a wish to a critically ill teenage boy via the @MakeAWish foundation. The crowd was on their feet and tears were flowing. One of the reasons we're so proud to partner with this amazing, community centered organization. ❤️ ⚾️ ❤️

Retired educators have not seen a funding increase in 18 years – and today, they gathered at the State House by the hundreds to advocate for funding in the Education Retiree's Trust Fund (ERTF). Milk and eggs should not increase more than funding for retirees. #FundtheERTF

Utah and Michigan repealed their A-F school grading laws saying they did more harm than good in understanding school quality and accountability. This law must be repealed in Tennessee! 🛑 tnea.org/repeal-af-law – at Nashville, TN

Voters demand integrity in their elected leaders. A new poll shows Menendez would lose a general election and jeopardize the senate majority. I can beat the Republicans, but I need your help. secure.actblue.com/donate/so…
BREAKING: New VoteVets poll by @ppppolls:
Senator Menendez, who has only 8% approval in NJ, would get crushed in the 2024 election. @AndyKimNJ would easily keep the seat blue if the nominee.

After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said “I am not going anywhere.” As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity. Please join me:

United, we will reclaim public education as a common good.
And we will transform it into a racially and socially just system that prepares every student—not one, not some, but every single student—to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world.
