Shame on this administration. Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures. Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.

“Now that the government shutdown has ended and SNAP benefits are slowly being restored, it doesn’t change the fact that chaos reigned in our schools. It doesn’t change the fact that it will take a while before it gets back to normal.” —Becky Pringle, @neapresident.bsky.social

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

A new @propublica.org article highlights fresh corruption allegations against DHS Sec. Kristi Noem’s potential misuse of government spending. So we’re launching an investigation to find out more.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

George Stephanopoulos cuts off JD Vance mid sentence 🤣🔥….this is the way!

We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration for threatening to conduct mass firings of federal employees if the government shuts down tonight. Using people’s livelihoods as a bargaining chip is both cruel and illegal. That’s why we’ve joined forces with unions to protect these vital jobs.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” — Rep. John Lewis

Senators betrayed students, educators, and working families today. Passing this unconscionable budget is both a political failure and a moral one. This bill will devastate our schools and communities—all to finance massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Shame.

Our schools cannot afford a $6.8 billion funding cut. Students will suffer.

The Trump admin just withheld $6.8B in critical education funding—money that overwhelmingly supports students through their local school districts. But together with @studentdefense.bsky.social, @edlawcenter.bsky.social, @afscmemd.org, and NAACP, we’re taking legal action to stop it.

A word on the sanctity of birthright citizenship: Rights that Black Americans created for our liberation—also benefitting countless others—are routinely undermined by opponents of our freedom who try to convince us it is in our interest to adopt their narrowest construction. 1/4

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Thank goodness. Trump's executive overreach, firing of thousands of education workers, and illegal dismantling of this essential department have been blocked by the courts.

Educators applaud the Supreme Court for ensuring public funds go to public schools www.nea.org/about-nea/me...
