Danny Davis: “I hope that the committee will consider protecting some funds to help workers get to the jobs.”

Congress categorically rejected the Trump Administration’s effort to eliminate funding for MSIs by continuing to fund - and even increasing - grants for these institutions in FY26.

This funding is not just an investment in steel and concrete — it is an investment in the working families who depend on Amtrak to get to their jobs, their schools, and their loved ones every day.

Predominantly Black Institutions and other Minority Serving Institutions open the doors of higher education to low-income students and students of color whom historically have had more limited educational opportunities.

I unconditionally and absolutely reject President Trump's and Elon Musk's work to steal American's Social Security benefits, a scheme that hurts middle-class and working-class families and seniors to pay for tax handouts to billionaires.
