America lost one of the GREAT political cartoonists this week. Steve Benson.
Love this tribute from cartoonist Chris Britt
The GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” would be the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.
On average, someone in the top 0.1% would gain around $390,000 next year.
But someone in the bottom 20% would lose $820, and nearly twice as much—$1,545—in 2033.
Yeah, kids today really don’t seem to enjoy videos they are used to watching everything by themselves while multitasking

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.
Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid.
More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.
So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

How many teachers does it take to do a subtraction problem?
One, because it only takes one teacher to make a difference.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Today's teaching win: Students were working on a problem for about 20 minutes until I told them class is almost over. They didn't want to leave and they didn't want to be told the answer, so they stayed after class until they got it.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

~75% voucher kids were already in private school anyway.
The other 25% suffer horrific results after transfer.
The last 4 statewide studies found learning loss similar to Katrina and COVID impacts.
Why? Sub-prime & pop-ups the only schools available to most voucher transfers.
Happy Wednesday!

2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs after President Trump’s order to open dams. But water experts say the water will not flow to Los Angeles, and that it's being wasted by being released during the wet winter season: cnn.it/3CyhEHy
