Alaska owns dozens of crumbling schools. It wants underfunded districts to take them on Rural school district superintendents are trying to find the best use of limited resources. Taking on the state's unmaintained buildings, they say, will only increase their burden.

Yes, Albo thought the Integrity Commission would be all he needed and hoped nobody noticed that it did nothing.

Albanese as bad as Morrison on integrity: Teal MPs and new report card slam Labor In a report card on Labor’s transparency record, the Centre for Public Integrity claims it has failed in six of seven fields.

The Centre for Public Integrity has found Labor failed in six of seven key transparency areas, from secrecy to “jobs for mates”.

In opposition, Labor promised stronger integrity and accountability.

This report shows there’s still a long way to go.

6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

Weirdly, it’s never occurred to me to put up a video of the tawnies here.😄 Yesterday, one youngster was making its little sleeping noise - a quieter version of its night time feeding squawk. Dad is on the right. Mikey Magpie with the bung wing can be heard in the background, along with noisy miners.

I love seeing people get excited about things they like 💖

the world needs more joy.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Oh come on

Lock them all up

A tweet from Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) says: “You literally fought in court to strip families of food assistance.” He’s replying to Acyn (@Acyn), who shared a video of Trump speaking at the White House with the caption: “Trump: The bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans—so important and so big in the bible.” Below the tweet is a Fox News screenshot showing Trump at a podium, speaking during a live address. The chyron reads: “NOW: TRUMP SPEAKS AT EXEC ORDER SIGNING.”

Indeed, he did.

Very concerning

Is the Trump administration trying to drag America into another war?

They are parking some of our most lethal warships off the coast of Venezuela and sending thousands of service members to the region.

And we're supposed to believe this is about blowing up speedboats?
