School closures have failed America’s children, particularly students in marginalized communities. As districts continue to bow to the demands of labor unions, we must ensure our children are protected from further learning loss and isolation.

After an incredibly unprepared administration botched the #Afghanistan withdrawal, we cannot let history repeat itself with their potential fumbling of the situation in #Ukraine as well.
This is a time for us to lead the international community by example—not cower in fear.
SCOOP: Leaked notes from a White House Situation Room meeting the day before Kabul fell shed new light on just how unprepared the Biden administration was to evacuate Afghan nationals who'd helped the U.S. in its 20-year war against the Taliban.

Illegal border crossings were at a record high last year, and we’re already on pace to exceed that in 2022.
This administration is setting all the wrong records.

Hard-working Americans are having to stretch their paychecks further and further to keep up with inflation. Democrats must get serious about fighting rising prices!

This administration has failed to secure our border and they’re failing to lead.
Even senior officials within U.S. Border Patrol are saying that the agency’s “morale is at an all-time low.”

School closures continue to add to the anxiety and stress that today’s students are facing. With an entire generation at stake, we need to get kids back in the classroom.

Across South Carolina, education leaders in public, private, and charter schools have stepped up to help our kids.
This story should serve as a model for all schools striving to combat learning loss and ensure parents have a voice! #SchoolChoice

#SchoolChoice already exists in America — just not for poor families.
At this week’s policy panel, @CondoleezzaRice, @BurgessOwens, and I discussed why education is the Civil Rights issue of our generation.

The importance of #community is what makes America so great! We have a duty and responsibility to pour into our neighbors and build one another up.

As a former NFL star, @BurgessOwens is no stranger to competition.
This week, he talked w/ me and former Sec. Rice about why competition is healthy — and necessary — for our school systems to thrive.

Parents deserve to know what’s going on inside their kids’ schools. Period.
I’m thankful for folks like Nicki, a mother of two young students, who is working to keep parents in the know.

Our students have suffered heartbreaking isolation and destructive learning loss as a result of school closures.
Thank you, Denise, for speaking up on behalf of the students you mentor. #SchoolChoiceWeek

Former Sec. of State @CondoleezzaRice said at yesterday’s panel, “There is no more important issue for us in terms of our national security than for us to educate our people.”
If we want to remain a beacon of hope—a place where everyone has a chance—we must expand #SchoolChoice.

South Carolina’s @Ellen_Weaver hit the nail on the head: “For a lot of working families, virtual education was not a workable option.”
#SchoolChoice empowers all families to take the reins and get their students back to in-person learning.

Inflation is the highest it’s been in nearly 40 years.
American families don’t deserve this undue tax on their wallets.
