I’ve been a public school teacher for 20 years. My wife is a paraprofessional who works with deaf and hard-of-hearing students. So let me tell you why these cuts to special education will be absolutely devastating 🧵 www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Great catching up with @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social who is running for US Senate in Michigan www.youtube.com/live/K1qUpfw...

I'm honored to have the support of Dan Feehan. From the battlefield to the classroom, Dan has dedicated his life to lifting others up. As a 2-time candidate in Minnesota’s first district, he spent 4 years listening to the people of southern MN. I’m proud to carry forward this spirit of service.

Great to be back on CNN with my old friend Brianna Keilar to talk about Colbert cancellation people are saying I looked sharp and sounded smart and insightful. youtu.be/OY32oHY-pSA?...

I tried filling out a SNAP application form. Between work requirements and having to hand over all sorts of random personal information to the government, many people are jumping through hoops every day for access to a necessity as basic as food.

I just can’t wait for the day, if it ever comes again, when mornings don’t start with the demise of ideals of equal opportunity, unselfishness, love of country, and, well sunshine, instead of nightmares.

I did a rant on Republicans and their insidious views on who deserves health care

As of right now, House Republicans don’t have enough votes to pass Trump’s Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid to give billionaires more tax cuts. Keep calling GOP representatives: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Join a phonebank to contact voters in key GOP districts: www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

Tune in! Listening to a recap of news of the world can be maddening, but blended with Pete's humor, it's an unbeatable resource. Plus it's always followed up with a meaningful interview with an interesting person.

I don't want to brag but find me another ad free/ daily news podcast with the kind of awesome news recaps and guests I get. Today it's the great @wajali.bsky.social and @billbindc.bsky.social standupwithpete.libsyn.com/1383-wajahat...

Posting about my school board work at cathynathansb.bksy.social - follow me there for that!

JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]
