Quote of the Day
“Head Start is a lifeline for families in Massachusetts and across the country. It means families don’t have to choose between breaking the budget or being forced to cut back work hours just to make sure their kids have good quality care. Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to rip that away to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. On behalf of our kids, families, and teachers, I’m fighting back.”
Warren on Trump’s Plan to Defund Head Start
