America: A (Fracked) Gas Station With Nukes One part of the Trump plot to wreck America gets clearer

Why did Trump stop a nearly completed offshore wind project off of New England that would save taxpayers millions of $$ in electricity bills over 10 years, AND lower greenhouse gas emissions? It's all about $$$$$ for his rich fossil fuel barons.

What’s next for the registered teacher apprenticeship movement? To keep high-quality programs running, it's crucial to have sustainable financing and to amplify district and state voices.

Registered Apprenticeship Programs for educators work to improve student learning and address the educator workforce crisis. Great article on funding such programs. www.k12dive.com/news/whats-n...

And this is why climate change is not every American's number one concern. Misinformation promoted by fossil fuel companies is a problem. Shame on them.

Redrawing district lines mid-decade to keep a party in power is not how democracies behave, but yet again, #47 calls his weak Republican congressmen and congresswomen to bend the knee to their King. Sad.

Tariffs? In This Economy? Good Luck With That The levies are a massive tax on households and businesses, and they’re dragging down consumer spending and job growth.

The incompetence of the Trump regime is mind boggling.
