Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says
The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
Iβve 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 π§΅

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 Minnesotaβs first district, he spent 4 years listening to the people of southern MN.
Iβm proud to carry forward this spirit of service.

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 canβt wait for the day, if it ever comes again, when mornings donβt start with the demise of ideals of equal opportunity, unselfishness, love of country, and, well sunshine, instead of nightmares.

Meredith Lee Hill on Twitter: βSpeaker Johnson this morning acknowledges he doesn't have the votes to pass the rule yet -
"we're working on all that right now" he tells @nicholaswu12
"working through everybody's concerns and letting them know this is the best possible product we can produce."β
As of right now, House Republicans donβt have enough votes to pass Trumpβs Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid to give billionaires more tax cuts.

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.
