Arming teachers in schools. This may rank as the all time worst bill ever to pass the Tennessee House of Representatives.

The day is coming soon where even the weakest and most spineless Republicans are going to figure out Trump has lost his iron hold. He’s broken, distracted, and spinning out. His endorsements are failures. He has no money to back challengers. His own followers are tired or the

I was pumping gas today when an older man pulled in next to me to get gas. He came around the corner and said “hang out long enough, and you can pay for mine.” I told him I thought he was paying for both of us. And then we started talking about the wind.

A midwestern story.

“Christians shouldn’t send their kids to public schools”

Is at least a more honest statement of the voucher end-goal than “public school funding won’t be cut.”

By the way, the Family Research Council was launched with a bag of DeVos-Prince money.

GOP infighting at the federal level threaten national security.

When people complain that nothing gets done in government, his is why. Republicans can’t govern. They can win elections. But they cannot govern.

Children are the future of Missouri.

We must invest in them, and that includes a robust, well-supported public library system.

Not book bans.

It’s expensive to be poor, especially in states like Oklahoma, where politicians pass laws to punish poverty rather than address systemic issues that lead to homelessness.

SB 1854 criminalizes homelessness by fining or jailing people for sleeping on public land. If there are no

Pecker delivers blockbuster account of Trump Tower meeting with Trump and Cohen:

Trump “asked me what can I do and what my magazines can do to help the campaign.'

Pecker said he could 'publish positive stories about Trump' and 'negative stories about his opponents.'

There needs to be accountability for the folks who blew the Covid response. From Trump, to pence, to Kushner on down. It was the greatest national security and public health failure in American history.

Someone asking that their tax money go to fund a private religious school.

Never. Not once.

had the best schools in the nation a decade ago. Then the Iowa GOP took control of the legisature & Gov. Kim Reynolds and began systematicly defunding & passing laws that drive away good teachers.
...now Republicans want school vouchers because our schools are failing.
