Absolutely incredible turnout for @ginafortexas.bsky.social here at UT-RGV. Early voting is open, so weโ€™re here with @zephcapo.bsky.social and @rweingarten.bsky.social to remind students to get to the polls and make their voices heard! #AFTvotes

Gina Hinojosa entered politic because she saw her sonโ€™s school closed & wanted to fight back. I know if sheโ€™s elected to the governorโ€™s mansion, sheโ€™ll fight to make sure very child in Texas has a strong public school education so they can soar. @ginafortexas.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aft....

Voters showed up in record numbers and delivered huge wins in Serbia and Brazil. Authoritarians thrive off fear and pessimisim, but voters chose candidates who will fight for better wages, lower costs, access to healthcare, public safety, and funding for public schools. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

According to Trump, Americans are โ€œricher nowโ€ and โ€œwe donโ€™t have inflation.โ€ Tell that to the millions of households struggling to fill up their tanks and put food on the table each week. People need real help, not fake news. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cait Conley is the real deal for NY-17. She earned 3 Bronze stars for her service & held leadership roles in cybersecurity and counterterrorism. Combined with her mission to make American more affordable again, Cait Conley is exactly the type of leader we need in Congress. bsky.app/profile/aft....

NY-17 congressional candidate @caitfornewyork.bsky.social and @rweingarten.bsky.social met with AFT educators in Putnam Count, NY to talk about cleaning up corruption and lowering the cost of healthcare and utilities. Check out the video highlights. And don't forget to vote early where possible!

โ€œIf we believe in the America dream, we must believe that Texas - as the 8th largest economy of the country - must be at the front end of education, not the back.โ€ Right, @rweingarten.bsky.social! Education unlocks opportunities for a better life and we must invest in our public schools. #AFTvotes

I asked students at McAllen Flight Academy to share their stories, and to share what they wanted their lawmakers and communities to know about their program. Thank you Ramiro for talking with us today. @texasaft.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aft....

The students in this room are preparing to take their pilot licensing test to be FAA certified, which the school district is funding. Students like Ramiro want people to know that great CTE opportunities are available for folks in McAllen, and he wants to see more programs like this one.

If we want students to pursue well-paid, middle-class careers, we need to connect their passions with opportunities early. That's why I'm excited about our new partnership with GM, bringing hands-on manufacturing education to 2,800 Michigan middle school students each year. bsky.app/profile/aft....
