We will not stand by and allow this to happen to the nation’s students, parents, borrowers, educators, and communities.
The president wants to shut down USAID? He can have one of his Republican friends introduce legislation to do that, and it will be debated.
You cannot withhold US funds that were appropriated for Medicaid, for community health centers, for Head Start.
I think the overwhelming majority of Americans want a strong, efficient, independent civil service. We can make improvements. I am not here to tell you that we don't have a bureaucracy, that we don't have waste. We do, we've got to work on…
